[Nesting]

Your is the first suggestion I've ever heard that blocktrades is somehow voting exchange funds (and even your suggestion is pretty back-handed, since you then say you're sure we're not doing it). I think most people can quite easily grasp that we are simply buying and selling steem, not holding it for others that buy and sell it. So a comparison to poloniex and bittrex is totally inappropriate.

This is excellent. I have no doubt.

When I say "you have to really dig in order to verify this," I am talking about investors who are initially researching the platform. Imagine, they just found out how to power up. Now they want to know who @blocktrades is before they make the plunge.

So, do I trust this situation? I do. But I've been on the platform for months. I'm talking about potential investors who have hours or days of research under their belt.

Hmm, now I'm wondering on my second reading, are you just quoting something that was removed from krnel's post? Is it possible he came to the conclusion that what he said wasn't likely, and therefore removed it?

I am not quoting anyone. These are my own words. Sir, this seems like a very paranoid thing to assert. What's really going on here?
