RE: NOBLEWITNESS UPDATE - On Promises, Contracts, and Integrity

Perhaps I’m new to this whole decentralized thing but there are NO contracts in decentralized.

Clearly you are, as contracts exist in a decentralized space. ERC20 tokens are smart contracts. There are contracts everywhere here. Moreover, a signature is not necessary when one party acts in reliance to your promise and substantially performs what they agreed to. You accepted that performance. You constructively bound yourself to the contract you made with Gmuxx.

How do u trust the people on this platform

Well, you could start by honoring contracts and understanding when you've obligated yourself to complete your end of a bargain. That would go a long way to fostering trust between others and you. The fact that you don't believe there are contracts in crypto or on a blockchain should tell anyone who's curious all they need to know about what you think about entering into agreements with others.

The minute you guys decided that, I’m happy to be assertive with my point of view.

Well I'm glad you're happy to keep expounding on how no one should trust you with any business venture or simple agreement.

@anarcho-andrei's analysis matches my understanding of contract law as it exists in many countries.
Early on there was perhaps an "out" that existed depending on the interpretation of the word hold in the phrase "I'll hold it for 4 weeks". However, this out was closed with the later renegotiation of a repayment schedule and then really bound when GMuxx paid the first installment (substantive performance). The time for evaluating risk is before making the agreement.
I fell afoul of this situation myself once when I was like 15/16 years old. It took some explaining to me before I understood why the customs around contracts are the way they are. Glad it happened when I was young and forgivable :)
Gotta say, seller messed up. But, he doesn't have to take my word for it. There's plenty of resources available online about contract law.

Well since @rhodak has stated you guys think I’m a spade, i assume you guys are racist now! Good to know.

That is laughable. Keep digging that hole, bud.
