Honestly, I'm going to take the risk that this comment might not age well, but... I feel bad for Steve. Promoting crypto-networks have gone poorly for pretty much every pseudo-celebrity that's done it.

This company is run by a bunch of random people. The very first thing I see is where to buy the token. There's a bunch of growth charts that have nothing to do with the platform itself (more people are expected to use energy in the future, just in case you didn't know). These type of blockchain pitches are way too familiar at this point.

Honestly without real standards/regulation blockchain is just going to be synonymous with fraud and failure. Bitcoin is its own thing, not just "blockchain". Companies are leveraging its success as if they're offering the same features (like immutability) or growth prospects just by offering "blockchain solutions".

Hopefully Steve can avoid the McAfee/Segal ending.



Do you ever feel like all these blockchain frauds and failures are intentional and designed to keep the general public from ever trusting the technology?
