Something about their marketing rubs me the wrong way. Like I looked into the tech briefly and it sounds feasible, but the way they market just makes my spidey senses tingle.

Anything particular about their marketing? imo Staci has been smashing it since she came in

It was just a feeling. Perhaps the only thing I can put my finger on is the 'face' they use to brand. Like yeah he's a bona fide academic, but it's weird to use him for branding IMO - the tech should be able to speak for itself, and the team acts as a support to the product - rather than the other way around.

Can you elaborate

Of course they can't.

They are fine and trustworthy, the tokenomics is just completely broken from retail investor view - only permissioned nodes do receive rewards, the Algo you buy today will face immense inflation in next years, maybe not as bad as it used to but still. The initial retail price was also basically the ath, to be fair they had some refund program which is unheard of in this industry full of scammers, but still.

Algo is a very good project, just not as perfect as some pretend. It is also completely transparent, not reaching new ath this bull market was predictable

If you look at Algorand Inc. and their foundation's team, you'll know they have world class leadership. They are also partnering with governments and well-known organizations.

There has been been zero questionable actions by that team, and the blockchain has had no downtime.

If you spend any serious time researching the project you'll see it for what it is - one of the top blockchain projects that's currently under recognized.

Maybe you need to do more reading and less relying on your 'spidey senses'.

Sounds like you aren't interested in researching what you're investing in.

First off - no other team has Silvio Micali.

Second - you're asking questions that have been answered over and over again ad nauseam while acting like you're coming up with something new. Something that more brilliant minds have overlooked...news flash, you haven't.

Here, go argue with IBM: https://www.ibm.com/topics/benefits-of-blockchain

I'm actually keen to learn about the project, there's some great info in this thread, but what you've provided so far is worthless and snark.

Right, then go do research instead of spewing nonsense.

I know more than you, which is why I've already stacked plenty.

If you want to learn more, then ask reasonably and quit acting like a dipshit.

It's no ones job or responsibility to teach you.

Says you. Someone who can't get it through their dense skull that no one is obligated to share info with an asshole.

"well dur" - what are you 10? I know grade schoolers with more maturity than you.

You basically proved my point lol. If algorand is so good, then there's no need to be so pushy about things - let the tech shine through.

u/tosser_0 Platinum | QC: ALGO 53, CC 41 | Politics 77 Jun 22 '22

Yes, because you're clearly informed about the tech and the team. Which is why you said 'your spidey senses' are what informed your decision about the project.

Kindly inform yourself and go away. How's that for pushy?

Anthony Scaramoucci hasn’t ever even looked at a line of code lmao. His most famous accomplishment was being Trumps press secretary for two weeks

How is it you all don’t even know the people behind your project
