Just to help you -
I am putting this guide together in response to repeated requests for information about how to get EOS but it in no way constitutes investment advice. Blockchains are a very new technology and extremely risky. Before anyone becomes financially involved in Blockchain technology, it is essential to do considerable due diligence. Even then there are considerable risks.
This was a request by many people I know personally. I've done my best to make them aware of the risks. They have every right to take the same risks as anyone investing at the beginning of Bitcoin....please don't try to tell me any of them were fully aware of the risks.
Please, never feel you have to comment, especially if you haven't read the post.
What a terrible set of responses on your part. I read the article.
When I see people shilling crypto to information-light newbies then I will comment. I wonder why these people have any conception that EOS has "monumental" potential? Like I said, a "bad look.". If helping to prevent low information newbies from making donations to EOS so that Block.one get string-less revenue is "sanctimonious" then sign me up for sanctimony. People who know better can toss their money at whatever they want, it's their call; helping people who don't know better toss their money at something they don't understand (and which money becomes revenue for a first profit commonly with no obligation to when deliver anything of value ever), something you have hyped, is gross.
After this response, I really question your ability to reason or your sincerity @eeks. People want to invest in EOS regardless of my opinion on the subject. Perhaps it's because Dan Larimer is involved, perhaps it's because they heard something of the success of Steem or bitshares, perhaps it's because they think all new blockchain projects are worth investing in, I don't know. What I do know is the information I've provided here has been requested of me many times and that I have made every effort here and in conversation to ensure everyone is aware of the risks involved. I have to assume that the people I speak with who want more information about the EOS distribution, in spite of the risks, have concluded that the risks are worth taking.... kind of like the risks taken by early investors in Bitcoin.
I believe your comments are more about you than about others....kind of like your apparent attitude towards Steem. How are those minnowbooster payments?
I am sorry to see such a attack on you here.
I read the article and it seemed very apparent that not only do people want this info you you clearly showed steps to go about doing it but also that you gave plenty of clear warnings about potential dangers or risks.
It seems to me that people would have a much better chance with success going about getting into crypto from this tutorial than they would otherwise. I found this post to not only be helpful but clear without any sales pitch or talking people into anything.
I didn't see any "bad look" about this so its strange to see such a comment/attack.
You probably came to this conclusion also but just wanted to put my perspective on the blockchain in regards to this.
Thanks for all you do to help people. I haven't seen you do anything else.
Blessings~*~
