RE: Whaleshares Have Finally Destroyed Themselves

Can't say that I'm very surprised @raymondspeaks; "copies" of something else — especially when created by disgruntled participants of the "original" thing — have a way of falling flat on their face because they will never be more than copies.
Whether Whaleshares is/was mismanaged, misguided or an ill-advised idea, the reality of life tends to be that the "original" of most concepts has a remarkable stickiness... and it's al but impossible to lure many main players away for anything more than "curiosity." Seen any good "copies" of eBay, or amazon, or Facebook that are highly successful? Neither have I...
But it's still interesting to hear your version of events, as they have unfolded!
=^..^=
Interesting -- yes, I'll have to agree with you there. Whaleshares was exciting at the time; a novelty perhaps. Even if they made a success out of their dump, I think most would have came back to Steemit in the end. Especially with steem engine tokens and smts on the horizon. That sort of stuff would have blown Whaleshares out of the water.
Also from what I've seen their team lacks any sort of true vision - so there's that too.
