Exactly. And even if they use blockchain tech it’s not distributed, permissionless etc etc, so no different from someone just running a spreadsheet.

You're doing a great, unpaid job, of ramping this st.

Serious question, have you reached the status yet of "Q Evangelist"?

Well so far nobody, not one, has actually answered any questions with any concrete answers. It does appear to be a religion. 'Believe in this, dont question it, and you'll see we're right once you're dead.'





Magic beans still for sale.

Also now for sale, 1 colander. Slightly more water-tight than InitiativeQ's business plan.

hehe

I only contributed to this thread before it already reached 10 pages (on my phone) so it’s doing a pretty good job of “ramping” itself.

So are you a "Q Evangelist"?

So are you a "Q Evangelist"?
If encouraging others to ignore stubborn people claiming that signing up to it will make their world end makes me a “Q Evangelist” ... then yes I am. biglaugh

Besides, I’m not really encouraging others to sign up at all. I’m just calling out sceptics.

Please enlighten me as to the reason we shouldn’t sign up to this, and what makes it any different to signing up to YouTube and the like.

The truth is, the argument not to sign up is just as reasonable as the argument to sign up... apart from signing up gives you a very small chance of being part of something that might take off. Not signing up obviously has no affect.

However there are a small number of people who don’t sign up but still let it affect their life by making it their sole mission to encourage others to be as stubborn as they are.

It’s an email address pal. Relax!

I now realise that what you mean is “have I run out of invites.”

No I haven’t, I have 4 left as I have only invited the missus.

If you're going to 'call out sceptics' then you need to show why people should sign up. What is better about it than cash or credit cards? What technology do they have which other people dont? How are they going to ensure it's as safe and reliable as current systems?


People should sign up, if they believe it in and think it has a future. But if you are going to believe in it, then at least show why you believe in it. Show you've thought about what it is, rather than blindly following everyone else like sheep simply because you hope there will be some free money at the end of it. Worse than that, you're encouraging your friends, family, and randomers on the internet to sign up to something you dont understand through greed. Its that which is wrong.

Think you need to be a little more honest with us....

If you have over 100k Q, you have doing a bit more than "just calling out sceptics"...

And it isn't sceptics who need calling out. It is advocates of phony systems smile

Do you not have any throwaway email addresses you can use, it's free money you're leaving on the table!

I believe you are referring to another thread where I mentioned I have “over Q100k” which was a typo, this meant to read “over Q10k.”

Besides, I believe an Evangelist needs far more than Q100k.

The proof will be in the pudding.

As per another member’s post; the risk of not signing up and it taking off is far more scary to me than signing up and it flopping.

When it comes to cash out time that would be classed as fraud, not something I tend to dabble in.

Ah. Fair enough. I thought I had read it earlier in this thread, but if it was a typo, that explains it. It did make me think you must be hammering your contacts on Facebook trying to get signups...

Which part do you disagree with?

You dont understand how it works, so you think its acceptable to encourage everyone else to sign up to something you cant explain in the hope, however unlikely, that one day it will make you rich? Its simple greed. The idea of getting something for nothing.

I’ve already demonstrated my knowledge by answering your stupid questions, which you condescendingly thanked me for...

So why are you having another pop at me? Do you have a personality disorder?

Are you OK?

Do you need help?

Why are you still here?
Im not having a pop, no more than you are. just challenging people to think and answer some questions- the biggest question being 'what is better about Q than existing systems?' So far, no answer. If nothing is better, why would anyone want to use it?

Do you consider those 'stupid questions'?



Honestly, please, someone come out with some concrete answers and say how this is going change the world.
