@stan was and is promoting it. He is working with this guy in Hollywood, apparently.
The information asymmetry here is staggering. Everybody seems to think they know more than the people who are actually in the arena 24x7x365 doing stuff and having actual contact with the real people involved. How arrogant. I've worked with Matt's whole team for over a month. I've heard him straight up disclose his whole checkered life's history to a huge live and on-line audience. I've observed what his team is capable of doing. It's a bunch of all-stars. I've watched him adapt and pivot and overcome obstacles in real time.
And I've watched him come up with the plan he was starting to unveil here.
He's crude and aggressive and creative and vulnerable. All in one package.
I listened to his whole webinar (and several others). He always starts out with a rambling monolog intended to build a relationship with attendees. Then he describes what he's working on at the vision level just like we did when we first described BitShares to the world in 2013. Many pivots later, BitShares was a reality and now holds a record for most daily transactions that is nearly twice as big as Bitcoin and Ethereum combined.
Instead of offering an ICO to raise the necessary funds he offers products he has developed that have real value to the kind of people he hopes to recruit as co-developers. Perhaps joining his team does not appeal to you. That's ok. To each his own. But his software is proven, unlike most other fund raising schemes. Apparently he was casting pearls into the mud in front of you, to be trampled underfoot.
People tend to confuse entrepreneurs with scammers when occasionally a project runs into trouble. Many successful people had a long string of failures before they succeeded. A scam is a deliberate attempt to deceive, not a failed business. But past failures that don't kill you make you stronger and wiser.
Matt's his brilliant vision and powerful team was offered to this community on a silver platter. He will simply do it elsewhere now.
We don't need or want people who went to federal prison for defrauding investors. Matt stole the money out of his fund, recklessly lost it in Vegas and spent it on himself, then fled to Panama. He is a convicted felon, who plead guilty, and shouldn't be allowed near other peoples money ever again.

What a cunt.
Ok, from now on I have officially zero trust in your business skills. I've been skeptical for a long time of your abilities to develop business and lead marketing, but this is the new low.
Simple as that. Blockchain integration into the STEEM platform is that disposable and effortless. It's so worthless to integrate, apparently. Forgive me, but none of that adds up.
I wrote an API client that signs transaction. If I felt offended that people didn't respect me on the platform after writing it, I still wouldn't just walk away. I think my code speaks for itself, so I care less about proving myself with talk. I just let the code stand on its own. But that's just me.
I feel sorry for the developers who (apparently) put up the risk to integrate Matt's game, only to have it thrown away because he's so easily offended.
