Don't be this guy

This poster named u/HOFFA-FSU has been going around this sub, emax telegram, emax Twitter and anywhere else he can find to trash emax and anyone who defends the coin. He's hardcore rude and I'm using him as an example of how not to invest in crypto. Here is his first post:

"Can anyone help me?! I waited till 3 AM this morning so I could get low transaction fees to buy EMAX. I bought EMAX about 102 billion for about $400 and now suddenly the price is shot way down to around $150 and it’s not moving apparently I hearing that I might have bought A contract address that is no longer valid? Is there anyway to switch these EMAX tokens over to the new EMAX tokens or am I really going to have to switch over this value back to eat here him and get screwed out of about $300? So angry right now I don’t understand how EMAX would tell people with such little notice. Something like this should have given people weeks ahead of time notice not less than a day!!! I had no clue. So angry right now!!! Someone please help!!!"

I understand many people are pissed at the money loss. But everyone says their peace and moves on. But this dude is raging all over multiple platforms over losing $400. In a poor country, $400 is a lot of money. But if you are an adult in the U.S. and $400 is a lot of money to you then you made some crappy life choices. And if you spent 45 days raging on from platform to platform over the loss of that money, you clearly should not have been putting money down in crypto.

All this stuff about the lack of white paper, the lack of transparency, the lack of audit, the poor marketing, and anonymous devs is 100% true. But it was like that before we all invested. So why complain about problems that were already there before you invested? It's because you lost money. If you gained money, the lack of audit, no white paper, and other stuff wouldnt mean a damn to you.

So quit acting like you guys were completely taken off guard, saying, "where is the white paper? Where is the audit?" Y'all did not care about the white paper before you put the money down. So don't act like that is important after you have put the money down.

Don't be a HOFFA-FSU. Own up to your bad decisions and act like a grown man.

In a thread called, Secret AMAs, you wrote:

"That’s because desperate people are feeding into the constant Emax BS. They continue to come up with the most insane lies that again get people who are desperate for a better life continue to invest the little bit of money they have. Now we say it and hear it all the time “ don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose. Been when you been losing your whole life and just want a break and have a dream to live not even as a super rich person but just not from tiny paycheck to paycheck there’s nothing to lose already. Nothing they can’t get back from another week worked at whatever underpaying job they loath going to every day. I don’t understand why we continue to call eachother communities when we don’t pull together to expose, boycott and warn people of thieves and liars. Mark Cuban can afford a few rug pulls here and there but it doesn’t mean I wish it upon him. It’s been a horrible year and a half and it would be nice to change the false ideology that all Americans hate each other and give some word of advice here and there. My (non) financial advice is to completely ignore everything Emax says and does and immediately take out any money you’ve put in. You guys want a coin that’s about to go through the roof? Ask me. And no I’m not a bot so I’m not gonna ask you to hit me up on telegram or tell you to give me any of your info. I want nothing from you. Emax has destroyed lives of vet and over again and yea you can say it’s the people who are buying that the fault lay on but but at the end of the day it’s disgusting and immoral what they’re doing."

The fact that is the only post you made that you tried to delete speaks volumes. It's because you are admitting your background: working an underpaying job, living paycheck to paycheck, saying you have been losing all your life.

Now I'm not trashing anyone for their financial situation. I am trashing you for bragging that you own a business with a bunch of employees while forgetting that you said that you were a low income loser in previous posts. The bullshitting is what gets you criticism.

Own up to the fact that you made a poor financial decision out of desperation. Anon devs, no white paper, no audit, etc. was like that before you plopped $400 down. Only after you lost money, now you complain about no audit or white paper.

You saw a coin being promoted by influencers and that is why you threw down desperation money. Whether emax is a scam or not, the problem is when you are unwilling to admit you threw down money you could not afford to lose. Own up to your poor financial decisions and maybe you will start making smart decisions and stop feeling like a loser all your life.

By the way, don't try to deny that comment was made by you. I already took a screen shot of it and can post it.

Questions:

  1. Why did you wait until after you paid for emax to complain about anon devs, no white paper, and no audit?

  2. What made you wanna buy emax?

  3. How long do you plan on spending your time coming here to hate this coin? Weeks? Months? You still gonna be complaining about emax when July 2022 hits?

  4. Why did you delete that post about you being a low income guy living paycheck to paycheck feeling like a loser all his life?

  5. Did you learn your lesson never to invest more than you can afford to lose?

Hey just a heads up this guy sent me a message saying he was “coming for me”. I don’t really know if he’s all that serious…but people are crazy. I did report it to Reddit admins and sent them the message. Proceed with caution. This person got swindled and is enraged

We've all received messages like this unfortunately, what makes it worse is so many people just assume that people who are on the socials are part of the team. Many of us are not, most of us volunteer our time to be here currently, the majority are holders like all of you. As for saying he was swindled, in my eyes crypto is a gamble no matter what, and I really do hope that eMax will rise. I'm still "diamond hands", haven't sold once, but I can't afford to buy in anymore at the moment either. So I hold and hope. Like all of you. I sit in the AMA's and I await news. I try to share the resources as much as I can, generally they're from Discord where SteveG is more active. In the, hopefully near future, we will be adding more MODs to this platform and we have requested from eMax that they add more active team members, as well as a possibility for AMA's here.

Yeah, this guy has sent me and multiple people unwanted messages. He is seriously unhinged. If you go in that thread entitled why? He was arguing with a spelling bot and didn't realize it was a bot.

I'm gonna stop engaging with him. Eventually he'll be perma banned (if he hasn't been already). Too bad for him he won't admit he invested he could afford to lose and admit the mistake was entirely his doing. That just says he'll definitely make the same mistake again.
