General Discussion / Re: Michael Taggart claims to be BitShares Co-founder?
« on: August 04, 2016, 08:58:39 pm »MichaelX on steemit has been a prolific contributor since he discovered it recently. A quick scan of his posts show his awesome levels of competence.
He is the single most important business developer in the world to the near term future of BitShares.
I've been always wondering why Bitshares hasn't managed to attract more great blockchain devs. If Murderistic/MichaelX has been running the show behind the scenes, that might explain something. As everybody can see from his posts in this topic, he is not very nice person. I'd run away and fast if I had to work with him. He is clearly very angry, bitter and can't tolerate any criticism. It sucks quite much to work with people like him.
It was horrifying to read Stan's approval for this person. I'm pretty sure Bitshares will have quite a lot difficulties attracting competent devs or investors as long as Michael and Mark Lyford are associated to it in any way.
Seriously Stan... Nobody cares your personal views about Michael or Mark. What's most important for Bitshares (and Steem) is that any kind of associations with well known scammers are avoided at any cost. Mark has already ruined his reputation in the eyes of public and now Michael is trying very hard to ruin his own reputation too. When you are applauding these guys, you are causing serious harm for the reputation of Bitshares (and Steem).
I ran into this guy at the BItcoin thing in Vegas that several of us went to. I cant remember what we were chatting about to bring this up, but he was quick to talk about how he sold what I recall to be ~ $1 million worth of BTC at the peak. It is a strange thing for someone with money to go around talking about amounts to random people like that so I wrote him off as a likely fraud. I always wondered if Murderistic was this same person. Murderistic came around asking for $$ for some press release pass thing, but then refused to give out his identity. It was strange..
These are all from my memories and I may very well be wrong.
memories are indeed wrong.
I came around with a delegate proposal for a paid traffic campaign with banners and PPC traffic. People didn't like it. No press pass thing @gamey
As for calling me a scammer because I talked about the fact I bought bitcoin at $30 and sold at 997 = well I guess that is your opinion.
Not everyone there was random, I knew Brian and Stan and Dan and Gregory and several others for quite some time. Maybe your recollection is fuzzier than you think.
No, the discussion was when we were walking away from the lunch get together There was no Brian/Stan/Dan/Gregory in this discussion. I've known people with millions, some from family some self-made and I've never seen them openly talk about amounts to people they barely know. Mentioning your entry/exit point is one thing, but conveying how much you had is a different thing entirely. One is small talk and one is to demonstrate something. (for whatever reason)
