Hoffman stole another $2 million from us

Put your crypto experience on your CV. You did good, put that down. It is the crypto that has the problems. Your work, your experience is (was) valuable and may help you in the future, regardless of it’s immediate impact on your life (or lack there of).

But in any case, your CV will be completed, without blank time intervals.

Put it on your CV, anyone that can make a living from crypto for six years was doing extremely well.

But, at the end of the day CNI didn’t make you farm Chia, it was your choice, and with your experience you really should have known it was more likely to crash and burn. I’ve lost a lot of money, but that’s my fault, and luckily I could afford it, that said I’d be much better off if I had simply invested it in my pension, which is what would have happened had I not gambled on Chia.

It’s good that you honestly described what really worries you. I agree with my colleagues that you can safely include this time in your CV as a time of gaining knowledge in crypto and general IT. I don’t know what country you live in - in mine, self-education is definitely possible to include in your CV (however, it is worth being able to precisely and interestingly tell the recruiter about this period during the recruitment interview).

It was definitely not a waste of time - you will remember our words.
Our human actions or investments (often even the less successful ones) build our base (experience) for further life decisions. This may be a truism - but maybe thanks to what you have experienced with crypto in recent years - in the future you will not make the most unwise decision in your life (maybe not even knowing that crypto caused it).

Nevertheless - I know that the situation hurts. Especially since you worked so hard for it. And you have to be honest here, especially with yourself and the people close to you. But if you are moving forward - as exemplified by the fact that you are thinking about your CV and what will happen next, then that is already optimistic.
Be brave and know your value!
Now it has increased - you know how careful you have to be in the world of finances…

I made a living from crypto full-time for 5+ years.
It’s not easy, US costs are higher than wherever root87 is in at least some ways - but they probably had issues I didn’t have.

Hello;
It’s nice to hear what you say, I feel like I’m not alone.
If it’s okay with you, can you share with me how you’re still able to continue?
I really want to know where I went wrong.
If you want, you can also send me a private message. I’d be very happy.

It all comes down to low cost of electric.
With everything factored in (senior discount helps), I’m paying less than 5 cents USD per KWH.
But most of that time I was paying a hair over 5, only been a few years since I turned old enough for the senior discount.

There used to be 3 counties in the US with SUPER cheap electric rages, in the middle of Washington, with a few more in the 6cents or less range. Some of those counties, including THE cheapest, have turned anti-cryptocoin and imposed “special” cryptocoin mining rates - just in time to see their issue largely go away when Etherium went to Proof of Stake.
A FEW of them have turned pro-Cryptocoin to a degree.

thank you for share your idea with me but still you need around 10PB farming space for living with that money.

I didn’t say I was living on Chia.
The coin didn’t EXIST yet when I was living on (mostly) Etherium GPU earnings, with some input from the last days of X11 GPU mining, some small ASIC Bitcoin input part of that time, and a LOT of ASIC Litecoin input.
Also farmed some BURST for a while, but it wasn’t worth it more than a few months or so that I was involved in it (and SIGNUM has zero markets that a US citizen can use that have ANY liquidity, or I’d be tempted to become one of the 2 biggest whales that coin has).

I just watched the latest video on YouTube. I would like to say regarding the question directed to SEC, if I have contributed even a little by opening this title, I am happy about it.

I would like to say that I will start my research and make an application to SEC very soon. Because they have really lost themselves now.

hello;
Thank you for your guidance. I have a few small questions and a few needs.

Is it necessary to be a US citizen or resident in the US to file a complaint?

Is this link different from the Whistleblower program? I was planning to apply to Whistleblower with my non-existent legal knowledge.

If I’m not mistaken, there is a Twitter account belonging to SEC, can we speed up our process if we invite people to tweet together after applying? Maybe we can save chia from extinction this way.

Finally, do you have any evidence that specifically says that prefarm sales will not be made? I’m sure there is a YouTube video like this, but I need to find it. If you already have such evidence, can you share it?

I’m sorry I cannot provide legal advice to others on this topic. Hope you find the answers from the SEC website.

Welcome to the world of crypto, where past performance is no guarantee of future gains (see FTX as case example then (Bernie Madoff - Wikipedia) along with (Tulip mania - Wikipedia). NOT YOUR KEYS NOT YOUR CRYPTO! Invest your time, energy, and perhaps money in equipment—but always at your own risk; especially if, you feel in your gut, heart :green_heart: , and mind :brain: that the project violates the “spirit of crypto.” Here’s another website that might be more interesting —let’s keep it constructive with feedback that’s non-legal and non-financial!

If someone actual stole something as the heading “insinuates,” the police typically require several types of proof and information to proceed with an investigation. Here are the common requirements:

  1. Proof of Ownership: Documentation showing you own the stolen item, like receipts for the total cost of stocking one’s garage with brand new top dollar hard drives, serial numbers, eBay photos, or other identifiable records. This establishes that the item belongs to you.

  2. Details of the Incident: A clear, detailed account of the incident. This might include “deleted YouTube channels” documenting one’s YOLO journey, the date, time, location, and circumstances of the theft. Witness statements can also help.

  3. Evidence of the Suspect’s Actions: Any evidence linking a suspect to the theft, such as security camera footage, Discord rants, eyewitness accounts, or any interviews, messages or interactions with the person involved.

  4. Police Report: Filing an official police report is essential. This allows the police to formally investigate the incident, which could include looking for fingerprints or other forensic evidence at the scene, if applicable.

  5. Additional Evidence: If applicable, other evidence such as farmer & harvester tracking data (for items with tracking capabilities), or, in digital theft cases, logs showing access to your account or devices.

I’ll be over here selling lemonade for anyone who’s feeling a bit tired or thirsty from all the complaints—let’s keep it constructive with feedback that’s non-legal and non-financial! IMO

OP has no legal training and appears to use English as a second language. The clickbait title is to grab attention. Not sure why you’re conflating him with me.

Fair, without getting into the alphabet soap of JD, CPA, CFA, CFP, and PhD researcher etc. It seems there’s a bit of intermingling between several folks here and I’m just attempting to head off some of it as best I can.

Yes, the title is intended to be attention-grabbing, but IF OP doesn’t have any legal nor financial/accounting background and likely isn’t a native English speaker THEN of course neither of us holds that against him or her, Just to clarify. I’m not “entwining” their perspective with mine nor yours, respectfully.

There’s been several YouTube channels deleted or taken over in general online along with basement, garage, attics, storage garage units, extra buildings, etc full of hope dreams and aspirations during this recent crypto retooling period 2024. FRAUD has always been illegal!

So, what I’m hearing is that “the shoe does NOT fit” and therefore I’m not speaking “of you in particular” but more for posterity purposes.

To Our Continued Success!
