I mean, I don't know who he is but I generally wouldn't fuck with someone who has $35k to drop on pretend money. Anyhow, main stream news can be foolish, regardless of who the subject is.
I admit, that is a very poor article and I mainly blame the editor. He spoke with me for two hours with a running tape recorder and after the interview this was the best story he could come up with apparently. Obviously when you take a few lines here and there from a two hour conversation you can make anyone sound like a douchebag. Maybe that was his motive? I'll never know.
I never created a shell account on here. The only thing I did earlier today was post a link of this thread at a local community forum that I am part of. Some of them came here and supported me. That is all.
If you actually spent a minute watching any of my trading videos you would see that I never pitch a single product or service in them. What I offered in my videos was complete transparency on my trading.
I never created a shell user on here. I posted this thread on a local community forum that I am active on. Some of the members came here for the first time and supported me.
I am sorry that my appearance comes off as an "idiot".
Having money is not a license to act like an entitled, materialistic douchebag. I don't know the guy, but between this post and his instagram, that's the impression I've got of him. Hopefully some outside perspective will be useful to him.
I don't quite understand were I led anyone here to believe that I am an "entitled, materialistic douchebag". I had an issue on hand with a company, I felt I was being ignored. I was informed that the company is active on this website. I took the initiative to bring my problem to the public.
Regarding my instagram, isn't such a social networking website in existence just to fool around with? Practically all my followers are my college friends and those sort of posts interest them. I just turned 22 for god sakes, you expect for me keep every bit of my life as professional and humble as possible? I am sure many here have done much worse when they were my age.
A social networking site is what you make of it. But if you have public material that is easily searchable, people are likely to judge the content they see. Not that this is relevant to the OP, but since you asked:
I think most people would agree that your instagram page has some extremely materialistic pictures. You tagged the rolex pic with the line "#money #suits #rolex #rkoi" (rkoi = rich kids of instagram).. I would look into making those pics private, because to many people outside your friend group, they come off as super douchey.
Just wanted to say that it's unfortunate how people are treating you over all of this. You should feel proud of what you've earned. I think everyone's got their pitchforks out because they think you're creating sockpuppets to fuck with CoinBase. Obviously if that's the case, you are a douchebag, but otherwise, your instagram looks fine for someone in their early 20s.
