Agree fully with all Fabian has said. I know the entire story on both sides here, and frankly much of the stuff floating around is flat out not true about mark and his situation.

I can also say that a large majority of the stuff on the internet about his situation is flat-out opinion and mischaracterization of statements. I have personal visual proof and knowledge of his operations previous and present the communication that happened.

I'm not even going to address the majority of the stuff that is completely false on dimartino's articles, but let's just say at least 80% of it is 100% false and 20% of it is subjective to how you see things in a situation.

Everyday millions or billions of people out there try to start a business or invest in something to better themselves. Sometimes they're successful and sometimes they're not. Sometimes business start-ups rely on other people's Investments and rely on other people to build their business and sometimes they are successful and sometimes they fail. When they fail do they deserve to be mobbed for life?

Mark knows that he didn't handle all of this situation the best that he could have in previous times. There's other decisions you could have made after looking back in hindsight, and there's some things you could have done better. He knows that. And we all know that too.

I'd like to think he's learned from those lessons and is applying those lessons with his new Ventures going forward.

Just like how we learned lessons with bitshares, the failures in the problems we had with the platform, the challenges that we went through and are now applying all of the knowledge we've learned to what we're doing now here and in other grapheme based ventures.

Right now people are calling what he's doing here a scam. I'd invite you to tell me exactly why it's a scam. He is not ask for any money from anybody at all. He's providing a service to the community by educating people about what can be possible on this platform and pushing new members here.

As of right now he's not selling any information made publicly available on the Forum and last time I checked this interview with Fabian was not publicly available until Mark made it.

In addition if he wants to sell a training course for a website or how to do something on a website he has every right to do that. People do that on everything from Reddit to Wordpress to everything else and none of you scream scam.

People will pay for convenience. I know that might be a New Concept for some of you but I have to tell you that even though there might be public information available on how to code a certain language or paint a picture, people still pay for art classes and for tutoring.

If Mark wants to put together a really good product that concisely explains everything and shows people how to use this platform and brings people a greater level of knowledge ana quality to it, then more power to him.

In fact I chose to work with him on this project because I know what I'm putting into it and I know what he's putting into it in terms of effort and intention for education and bringing people to this platform.

The reason why you don't scream scam to them and you do to him is because you have a personal problem with him and it's very obvious. I understand why you may not like him and you don't have to personally like him but you can't pretend like your bias isn't 100% obvious.

Most of you don't know that Mark spent lots of his time and money promoting the bitshares platform and trying to find potential investors to help with progress in development.

If you want to put that in perspective the work he's trying to do to bring investors and to help people is what would be paying salaries for a lot of people that are commenting and talking s*** on this thread right now.

He was literally working to try to find money to help pay you development salaries while you were all saying horrible things about him in a forum somewhere else. And he never mentioned that fact to you.

This is mob mentality here.

If you want to discuss academically this so called scam attempt let's go ahead and do that, if you just going to continue to base statements on opinion and just say things arbitrarily without knowledge, then it's obvious you have other motives than to help people.

Pm me on slack or rocket. Any of you. I will answer any question I can about Marks operation on this project and I'll even answer questions about any knowledge I have of his previous and former projects.

I'm willing to discuss things rationally. If you are, feel free to join me.
