@™BlackPearl The Empress™ firstly, I'm sorry that you got rugpulled. Crypto is the wild west, there's no doubt about it. And that's a worse case scenario for all us holders. To wake up, and everything be gone.
If that heightened your level of scrutiny, I've never tried to pry you away from your conditional requirements to join a project. Like I said, if seeing who the dev is a mandatory preference for you, that's within your right.
All I'm trying to do is enlighten you to how arbitrary that is. I'm advocating for you to trust the data. Because people or companies can't be trusted. LLC or not. "Front facing" dev or not.
Rugpulling and owning a dev wallet are two separate things, Pearl. So, are you saying the dev dumped the wallet, or did he pull liquidity?
If it's liquidity, and you checked out the website like you said, you would know that I can't touch my LP tokens until May 2022 at the earliest. Regardless of what the other guy said, it's simply not possible. I approved deeplock.io to remove my ability to withdrawal.
If it's the dev wallet, I can tell you as someone who operates a crypto project, advertising and marketing are crucial to the survival of a token. You need to market. There's no way around it. Personally, I don't feel comfortable asking our group members to donate money for advertising. Especially if it's only 1 or 2 ppl who volunteer. Til now, all the advertising has come from my pocket. I'm paying for Facebook ads and TikTok ads.
There's times I forget the dev wallet exists, because it really only accrues pennies on the dollar. If the majority of our holders wanted me to get rid of it, I would. I would delete it today. I don't care about it all that much because not only does it have a low amount within it, but I spent so many hours, so many sleepless nights getting coli to where it is, that I don't want to risk dropping the market cap by selling tokens. So I just pay out of pocket for the ads.
You're the only person whose bringing up dev wallet concerns, so in that respect, you're unique. Pearl, if you join the telegram and present your case as to why it's better to not have a dev wallet, I will turn the dev wallet into a burn wallet
today. No one has asked or cared til this point. Like I said, I pay ads myself cause I don't want to effect the price, so the tokens are just sitting there.
Contrary to what you may think, our community is actually very friendly, very accomodating. No one would attack you. They're open-minded and think for themselves. We deal with people who ask questions that have already been answered, that's where our frustration comes from.
I can't help you with the identity thing, I'm sorry. Too many crazies in the world. There's people on YouTube who give to charity and feed the homeless that get stalked, harassed, have SWAT show up to their houses as a joke, family threatened. And don't get me started on TheColi. You yourself have had to deal with crazy ppl on here.
I have a wife and kids I gotta protect. In a different world, showing my face wouldn't be a problem. But I'm not rich, I'm not well-off. The creators of Saitama and such are wealthy individuals. They can afford protection, got contingencies in place. It isn't a fair comparison. I'm just a regular guy.
But my main point to you is that it wouldn't stop crime from happening. There are no federal audits in crypto, no regulation. Memecoins aren't beholden to SEC standards. Someone could show you their face, then rugpull on you while smiling at the camera.
The data is all I have to earn your trust.
