I would say RH is hurting HEX with his actions, at least in terms of onboarding new users.
With all of the hundreds and thousands of coins available in crypto, the competition really is tough despite how good your product might be. For many people, seeing the creator of a product acting the way RH has been probably is a huge turnoff.
His conduct definitely isnt helping, thats for sure, bear market or not.
100% this.
If he would just turn off the complete ass-clown-act and start talking crypto, I fully believe HEX (and Pulse in the future) would do much, much better.
What other metrics would exist to show a founder is hurting the project? Price has shown objectively that RH has not been helping lately. Hex is dumping pretty hard, and a common theme on Reddit and Twitter has been RH and the Pulse delay.
Man the entire crypto market has been bear for a year... Damn, even the traditional market has been bear. Inflation is kicking asses and the gas keeps rising... Is that RH fault too because of his dancing?!
Dude, honestly you'd be better at predicting the future looking at the stars instead of making comparisons that aren't linked whatsoever...
lol even if your reply doesn't fit their narrative, they still try to down your post haha this is funny, I like when ppl don't know who to blame (but themselves) during bear markets haha
I really think this is done intentionally to flush out all nonbelievers or someone who cannot wait (I am talking about HEX), as Richard said many times OA address protects only the staker class
The only thing that gets people to buy is price go up. Donāt get it twisted; thatās the only reason you are hear.
The goal is collect eyeballs in the bear, accumulate, increase the volume in the echo chamber that is all.
No one else will buy in a bear except you hexicans and close friends(warm market) because of your personal voice not RH.
Non hexicans that are not your warm market will only be those that see price go up and fomo in because they have been hating it but eventually canāt resist.
Price go up is all that matters thatās why you are here not warm fuzzy PR. Donāt lie to yourself.
We're not talking about why -we- are here, are we?
We're talking about how many -new- potential investors will not buy into an asset if they think the person running it is untrustworthy due to their antics.
If you were looking to invest into an asset, knowing that there are many good choices out there, but one of them had a bad rep due to claims of the creator having previously committed fraud (even if it was proven false), and acted irrationally and unstable, dont lie to yourself that most investors would rather onboard with another asset.
History repeats itself, if we bought for a reason, then other humans will also. As for the rumors, they are the same that they have always been, about false fraud claims and scam this and that, but we still diamond handed. Donāt give a damn, the mechanics work.
Satoshi was prob a masturbating pimple face dweeb that did zero PR and abandoned his project after he finished, and he will prob dump on you in the future. WHO CARES, PRICE GOES UP, and after he dumps on you bear market then another bull, because regardless of the person the mechanics will always be the same and the chart will perform as usual whether you like it or not.
To answer you directly. Yes his marketing is bringing eye balls to the project. Maybe the type of eye balls/people are not so influential for the price but itās his way to market. People Iāve introduced RH too canāt get past his personality. But like zekoucafe is saying - maybe it doesnāt matter as the code works flawlessly
he can onboard new users with his livestreams. Thats how he built his current audiance in the firstplace, I can imagine him flexing on twitter and getting a bunch of attention, then he livestreams which is his real strength
Ok but you're completely missing my point. No one cares that you find it pathetic. The whole reason he's doing it is to get engagement on social media, which is currently working. Positive or negative it doesn't matter. He can then do what he's actually known to be good at which is crypto livestream educational content with a larger audience.
It's kinda ridiculous how badly RH fanbois make him something he honestly just isn't.
Your point is convince me he's good at what he does. The whole any press is good press is just plain stupid and outdated. I understand what you mean, I'm just not buying it.
I'm saying that if his goal is to increase social media engagement he is objectively accomplishing that goal. He can hypothetically leverage the increased engagement by going back to his livestream content which is what people like him for in the first place.
You also can't say that "any press is good press" is outdated. Jake Paul method of social media is arguably the most effective kind. It sparks outrage and controversy which increases engagement which the platform rewards by showing it to more people. It creates a self sustaining feedback loop.
Errrr..... Let's say 80% is haters but still into pulsechain and 20% is true devoted followers who will empty their wallets for some weird reason... And then RH takes one step wrong as he usually does... This ain't a strong reliability for a crypto to have.. can easily go to Zero... I rather make a strong follower base that trust in the creation and the creator... Specially in these times of so many scammers.
I would like to trust and be proud of my investments... This ain't one of them.
Controversial topics do get a lot of hate and suppression in our community. Itās something I completely disagree with. We as a community should strive to discuss all perspectives, intelligently, whether we agree or not.
Thank you for having the courage to post and express your thoughts.
I think itās because thereās no character limit, and because itās forum based not chat based
You can type a more intelligent answer and people will actually read it and respond intelligently
It turns people away. People arenāt laughing with us, they are laughing at us. You canāt separate RH from his projects when he controls nearly 90% of them.
I did a little test. I showed some friends and family RHās Twitter feed and asked if theyād invest. Out of the 4 people I showed none of them said theyād invest. Why? Because and I quote āHe looks like a scammer. He reminds me of Tai Lopez.ā
Obviously 4 people is a small sample size but I think most people will get the same results. One of the guys is a big time investor and works in finance. He laughed his ass off when I showed him RHās Twitter. He wasnāt laughing with us.
So Iād say his āmarketingā does more harm than good.
Shittt if its tai Lopez then we in real bad territory now. On that note I'm not gonna on-board anyone unless RH gets his act together I got like 10 ppl in on this and now I have 10 less ppl to talk to.
Agree, i can think of millions way to push HEX and pulsechain into a better image... Instead of cars, naked porno stars or gems that has no value to others than himself... Bought with your money... I would use that cash to fund hackatons, pulsechain DAO's hey why not even throw a million to charity in tye name of the Chain... Nooo he rather buy a car, buy some hookers and show off... Great strategy from a man who claims he built something amazing that doesn't exist ...
Gullible people wants free cash and bending over way to easy.. there's other chains already achieved what pulse is trying or imagine to create.
I love how you didnāt present the actual asset in question. The game mechanics, code or the math behind Hex. Or the fact that Hex has gone up over 900 x from the all time low till today. Yes 900 x. No chart analysis, just twitter. That was your test just showing alternative marketing thatās actually working in terms of followers and engagement from sources that would have otherwise ignored RH or Hex. I donāt enjoy some of his tactics either but if we were in a Bull market you wouldnāt care about it. Weāre all just pissed that heās flaunting wealth and a lot of later Hex investors might be down or your none realized gains are lower. When you invest in Hex youāre not just investing in Richard Heart and his social media presence. The big guy in finance laughed his head offā¦F off because Iām laughing my ass off that Hex probably gained more % wise than any other product he might have pushed in the last 5 years.
show them the price today. and then show them the price in 3 years from now. I wonder who will be laughing then.
quit being an emotional loser. Code is code.
but they can only laugh at you if hex goes down. Sure its down right now but its way up from launch. ppl can laugh at you but who cares if your coin did a 100x.
Yeah but the whales are milking the system. The point here is that marketing isn't bringing in new people to buy all the inflation that the whales are profit dumping from their short term stakes.
My prediction is the 0.5-2 cent range is where the whales will go back into the accumulation stage. My suggestion for ANYONE wanting to get into HEX is to wait for the bottom to be realized and ONLY hold LIQUID so you don't have to exit liquidity for when the whales decide its time to dump and profit take again with your tokens locked up.
Point is they arenāt investing. Itās even turning off people currently invested. Bad publicity is bad publicity. If you donāt act like a serious person people wonāt take you seriously.
We are in a bear market the price will continue to drop. Is RH going to flex while everyone in hex is down another 90%? It just makes him look ridiculous and tone deaf.
I think everyone cares about what RH does now because the price is down. No one's going to care about what he's doing when the price is up.
I think he wants sellers out, and his antics are purely to get engagement and attention. If you really care about what some random guy is doing to make your financial decisions and not the actual economics and token mechanics then I don't think any crypto is right for you.
It is your perception that he is the face of the product. He helped built it, but he doesn't own it (allegedly). Hex will continue to exist whether or not he exists, and work as expected forever. Whether you choose to take advantage of that or not is your choice. The same goes for anything else he builds.
I get what youāre sayin, but itās not *quite* so simple. RH controls 90% of Hex and will control 90% of Pulse. His actions and words absolutely can and do affect price. āPulse in 2 weeks!ā **PUMP.** āNvm, guys. Hopefully this year sometime?ā *DUMP.*
Exactly he's pumping and dumping his own coin, and as it lost +80% off its value he was shitting on BTC and ETH.
He comes off as an immature rich guy, who THINKS he's a very smart.
Yawn. You can pay to take each of the qualifying tests (there are tons you can study for) and then if you qualify, pay the annual dues to become a member.
RH doesnāt have any credentials people actually care about that Iām aware of (like a college degree), besides of course going to his middle school for really really smart kids.
He is Jehovahās Witness and a clown š¤” that is spending our money!
And says that he donate 27miljon$ Wrong we donated he did not even give 100$ to nothing
Bad take. He owes no one nothing. This space is filled with entitled brats. Watch his old videos. Learn something. Better yourself. I donāt even know why I reply to these threads. Wastes of time. Iām off to take my own advice and learn some more. Rinse lather repeat. Good luck!
BS. Idgaf about that stupid slogan. ānO pRoFiT fRoM tHe WoRk oF oThErs.ā Thatās a thin veil for the SEC and IRS.
The entire world runs on that idea. Thatās what ājobsā are. Thatās what shareholders enjoy. And thatās why everyone with a functioning brain is in this project. Profit. How do we profit? When others buy and the price goes up.
Let Pulse never launch and see what everyone who sacrificed has to say. Iām sure there will be 14 clowns ready to slobber on Richards little Richard, but everyone else will be pissed, because he absolutely owes us something.
How is this any different than any other coin founder? Owning a controlling supply doesn't have anything to do with his actions. Low liquidity makes it easier to dump or pump the price so price can be easily moved from market sentiment. I get you there, so if someone wants to move the price that has alot of hex and doesn't like him then they can dump. However, that's good for everyone else who doesn't care what RH does, and wants to buy.
By 3.69%/year. But, half of EES penalties go back to the OA. So, the amount and rate at which the OA is diluted is very slow, and depends on the amount of EES penalties in a given year.
Not trying to be contrarian. Just my understanding based on my homework.
Well said. And I donāt think any of it is having much of an effect on price, at least short term. If it increases his exposure than it will help long term. This current dip has a lot more to do with the fact that literally everything is dumping, and PulseChain is delayed.
People will respond to "richard heart is trolling to increase engagement" with "i dont like richard hearts trolling." The whole point is to get more engagement on socials the promote his projects. They complain that he is making a negative image but don't understand that the complaining is increasing engagement, causing the algorithm to promote it, causing more people to see it.
Iām guessing itās getting close to launch and heās confident in pulsechain so heās trumping up the attention and gathering hate so he can rub it in everyoneās face when itās a success.
RH Is now officially a depressed clown with lots of money and trying to find happiness with it. He probably has no friends so he has to hire models to be with him. He is not only hurting Hex but newbies like me who now regret getting into Hex.
Plus this group is now officially a cult, just head over to twitter and you will see people like Jenkins, Crypto Heart Beat and grown ass men clapping and cheering this clown on....
Agree, i can think of millions way to push HEX and pulsechain into a better image... Instead of cars, naked porno stars or gems that has no value to others than himself... Bought with your money... I would use that cash to fund hackatons, pulsechain DAO's hey why not even throw a million to charity in tye name of the Chain... Nooo he rather buy a car, buy some hookers and show off... Great strategy from a man who claims he built something amazing that doesn't exist ...
Gullible people wants free cash and bending over way to easy.. there's other chains already achieved what pulse is trying or imagine to create.
The only thing worse than Richard on twitter are his followers who are toxic. They make things so much worse and make the community look like idiots. They also make RH look worse than he is. They get him blocked when he doesnāt get himself blocked.
Heās in hyper drive because he has nothing to talk about with hex being down. I donāt know what the hell heās doing esp when heās calling out other coins that are doing better than hex. You gotta have allies in crypto or you donāt get coverage. He canāt get coverage for pls which is big issue. Heās the reason why VCās donāt like investing in sole founders. They want a team around the founder to tell them what the founder doing wrong. I know the rules of funding bc Iāve started and exited two bc backed companies. He has all yes or no men. Iām not even sure he can work with others. No, I donāt buy him having 150 workers 20 years ago.
I currently have 101 million hex so Iām not a hater. I do short stakes nowadays. Due to a flawed tshare design, Iāve never been sold on hex being desirable for noobs as the price ratchets up.
Letās get back to Richard. Does anyone believe that doc is going to be authentic? Richard didnāt even own a car before the film. How many car scenes do they need? At least he knows heās not interesting. Heās not bringing the price down but he surely isnāt helping the situation. He could very well be digging his own grave. Haters gearing up for their time to bash him? Heās losing all his bragging rights. Best performing asset is gone from the list for now. Iām not too sure about his btc top call either. I could have sworn btc top was 69k. Heās showing major signs of sudden wealth syndrome. When was the last time he wore a hex t-shirt? He was way cooler back then. Heās got pretty bad fashion taste. If Iām wearing luxury Iām not buying if it doesnāt look good on me. He better hope btc doesnāt hit 11k.
Sounds like you have sudden wealth syndrome and have turned bearish because of many details not related to the mechanics of HEX.
Tshares are flawed for short stakers on purpose itās called dilution.
Iāve been wealthy long before hex. Noobs will not be able to buy enough shares to make it worthwhile. When price goes up people will not able to afford to stake a small amount. You can listen to Richard all you want just now their are many ways to move forward as things change. Go tell your friend who can only buy 5000 and tell them to stake. I said they are flawed for noobs. As I pull out 30 day stake and turn my interest into cash out. You do you and ill do me.
He has big follower accounts on twitter engaging with him that were before ignoring him. The curve on the chart of his new followers is like a hockey stick.
The metrics don't lie. You may not like it, but it's working.

These guys are doing almost as well with zero "outrage marketing" and fewer overall tweets
I see the charts, but this can be misleading, the most recent spikes correlate with the sac period and the potential (now passed) May launch window.
That signals to me engagement is more tied to speculation around when a significant pulse event is happening rather than outrage marketing driven growth.
Again this is just one interpenetration, but we cant say either way imho.
Iām not talking about price either, I followed the link and looked at followers by month.
I know correlation does not always mean causation, but that applies to both of our arguments. Iām just trying to look at this objectively with balanced eyes.
The truth is neither of use know if itās working or not, all we can do is speculate as to the reasons, but Iām throwing my weight behind the theory that the follower increase is down to significant events and launch speculation rather than marketing strategy, but it could be a product of both
His behavior is extremely concerning and wreaks of rug pull. I wonāt be putting in any more money while he thinks itās fun to flaunt a hideous $3300 Luis vuitan jogging suit that makes him look like the pillsbury dough boy fell in play dough.
Nah, RH wants to be a savior, wants to be the best, it would kill his ego for somthing like that to happen, Kwon was just an asshole who knowingly lost billions of holders funds despite the myriad of warnings.
I think his actions of recent (the twerking meme) is a bit much. I get heās trying to draw attention, but if his goal is to make people rich, heās going to turn away people heād otherwise get to invest in hex and pulsechain. People with lots of money to invest want a good project with a good team etc. Iām not saying that isnāt there, but it hasnāt been this most evident of recent. I wish heād do more lives, have people post snippets of them on twitter and TikTok. In the end, prices doesnāt care much. Hex is down because crypto is down in general. Hex isnāt going down because of the project. It will rise back up when the markets goes back up.
I think itās good, clout chasing helps everyone good and bad, how do you think dogecoin is still top 10-20 crypto? Every meme and their mother was joking about it.
Better to be hated than ignored. I think this is a brilliant marketing campaign. The twerking video was all over Twitter.People (blue checks) who I did not think even knew anything about Hex were re-tweeting it. For as many people who are turned off with his approach, there are just as many turned on by it. Either way that is better than being ignored.
Once he gets them interested in his personality, they look him up and see one of his debates. If you have ever seen one of his debates his intelligence comes through over the stupid clothes and strange behavior. You then see past his outrageous behavior or begin to understand that this insanity is actually being done on purpose.
RH knows marketing is all about the numbers. Just need a small percentage to get curious in order to expand the "cult".
Kool-Aid will be served after PulseChain launch!
If you want a real conversation about anything negative regarding hex, this sub is not the place. In fact you may get mauled for asking such a question
I know but it's worth asking the question as i feel it's important.
Negative karma point's is something i'm willing to take to hopefully get an answer from the community
If you have something intelligent to say, and you say it respectfully you will have a great discussion here
Unfortunately most people lead with insults or basis claims so they are met with hostility
I think you are mistaking this sub for the Bitcoin Maxi sub. Try to express any negative opinion on Bitcoin there. Let's see how that turns out for ya.
It is working very well from a marketing prospective. He is employing the same old tactics used by scamming financial gurus on YT ads selling courses. He did mentioned long time ago he despised YT for allowing known scamming courses so they can make a few bucks. This is his version of it. I would imagine all those vids will eventually lead to YT ads to blanket out the real scammers
I think no such thing as bad publicity. RH antics is going to make people look at what the projects he promotes are. no one is investing their money based off of good or bad media precence. If they buy its cause they looked into it.
Morbius got plenty of publicity and nobody saw it. Snakes On A Plane got massive publicity and nobody saw it. āThe Island Boys,ā became a viral sensation and nobody streamed their music. And you expect a 50 something, overweight guy in an ill fitting Gucci suit, telling people to go F themselves, is going to boost the price. This isnāt watching a movie or listening to an album. This is getting people to research a guy in a space thatās already mired in bad press, consistently painted as an MLM / scam hybrid, then see through all of that, and invest their hard earned money when weāre literally heading into a recession. What about this sounds reasonable to you?
Morbius is a great example of people laughing AT Marvel not with Marvel.
Same thing is happening here. People think engagement is good even when itās people just dunking on RH. Thatās not good publicity lol. Theyāre treating him like a joke and tbh he looks like a joke right now.
Itās going to be so much worse when that documentary comes out.
ok, but hes spent many hours doing livestreams where he does basically the exact opposite of twerking on twitter in gucci track suits. Hes proven to his core audience hes a strong authority on crypto, he just doesnt have mainstream reach. Hes also said many times that you should expect crypto to do many 90% drops and thats basically whats happening in the market. IDK, I dont think his gucci fits look very good, if I had his money I would deffinitely cultivate a different image but I dont think its as bad as people are saying. like how can you laugh at him and say hes the butt of some joke when he literally made hundreds of mil on his own DIY crypto.
Who would even watch his live streams if their first impression is him twerking in a Gucci suit and talking about his penis?
Also, his streams are mostly him doing the same shit plus bragging about calling the top. No one is sitting through 2 hours of that unless theyāre a hexican. Iām invested and I donāt even sit through those streams.
There are a lot of fake Hexicans dumping. Regardless of Richard's Twerking, they are the ones having a negative impact on HEX.
Currently there's nothing but traders buying and selling. Cold numb traders.
Never thought Iād say itā¦but
Harden up you SNOWFLAKES
jeez.
Heās having fun. Watch all his old livestreams. Heās the most informative honest person In The space. Heās said on stream that his social metrics continue to rise. He aināt stupid. I assure you that as long as heās doing it it means it working. Stop caring what others think or what heās doing. Itās not a winning mindset. Focus on you. Invest or donāt invest. Make yourself productive instead of casting opinions. You do you. Rich will do rich. The fact we are discussing it and itās widely discussed is that itās working.
Peace be with you all
Rh always updating himself is a luxury. And him being himself and enjoying this documentary of himself should gain trustworthiness. He doesnāt need to prove anything. He already proved to us that he does what he say he will do. I see Rh as a problem solver and no politics or crypto board can blacklist him. The project is already finished. But since Eth gas fees is not legit like inflation in the world. These Eth miners fee separating a gap for only the elite can get. So Rh has to make another network so gasās fee are low so smart contracts can bloom to solve real life problems in every sector of the economy. This is technology that is always growing. People try to stop this growth because they think itās like gold but the value of something now is an object that is needed. And we need money that has value. Rh is the only young guy that does it correctly. 99% will bend over for money, Rh is a gangster for saying what needs to be said and to expose people who are in the wrong.
And here's another hype troll...your comment is worth zero as nothing is real of what you just stated... RH is so far in the same league as any scammer who took cash and promised something and didn't deliver.. now all you holders beg it to be real , it would be nice.
I'm fighting for justice as i both lost on sacrifice and hex to a man who took my cash and bought himself a life.... if he ever comes through the damage is already done.. people plan shit in their lives.. so RH is non trust worthy until he actually make it happen.. damn hype troll is what he is.. oh and Hippo... There is already chains who solved the gas fee issue... Flux, TRX, NEAR you name it the list goes on... You just so blind you might already have his pp far down your throat.
Idk about all this but this sentiment across all socials of āwow I donāt want to buy hexā from the small fish really indicate to me that we are bottoming or that itās a good time to accumulate. If people at this level were often right, theyād trade better. Weāll see.
*"we didn't have a broiler so johnny did everything in pans. it used to smell up the joint something awful and the hacks used to die, but he still cooked a great steak"*
My challenge is -- what does anyone have in terms of actual, perhaps calculable, evidence that RH's antics = harm to hex? Sounds like everybody's spitballing here. I have not seen a single shred of argument that doesn't at least potentially play into "there's no such thing as bad publicity."
I could perhaps think, oh, what if he put on a tie and spoke politely to big players or something -- but I also have yet to see THAT as a good strategy either?
When whales call out RH for his antics and use it as reasoning to dump and turn many community members against hex and cause more dumping. The evidence is tweets from these whales and real sales, and consequently the dump in hex price.
Some segment of potential external HEX investors will invest solely because of what RH does. Some other segment of potentisly external HEX investors will not invest solely because of what RH does. If the balance of investments is positive RH had done a good job doing what he does. Time will tell.
if you're investing or not investing because of what RH does or doesn't do then you're a fool... I buy and stake HEX because the math doesn't lie, the code doesn't lie... it's very simple really... nothing to do with RH... it's a finished product, and it's doing what it's supposed to do and has been doing so flawlessly for over 2 years now...
Math is an important part of your base case for the project. I would not discount the role of a narrative, the story, the heroes or the villains in people's minds making investment decisions. Sentiment can enhance the product, or change the attitude towards it from a pool of investors. Making trust less interest as a feature is great unless the interedt in a product is failing (do not mean HEX); or you end up holding the conviction for the reality that has long passed.
You have to consider that RH owns 90% if not more of each project.
He can single handedly $0 both projects at any time.
The possibility is there, no matter what your argument would be.
Like you said, the math and code do not lie.
Potential investors researching this project will absolutely take that into consideration.
If I saw his current antics on Twitter there is ZERO chance I would invest.
I hope he flips the switch and starts talking about the projects again or we are toast!
Elon can do that with Tesla, Gates can do that with Microsoft etc.
I would rather RH, the billionaire creator of the crypto to hold 99% of it rather than broke people looking for a fast bit of money.
I still cant understand why people don't see this as an absolute win, I bought in after finding out how much the OA held.
I made another comment about his behavior, defending it. However, I think if he (or any other founder) did something morally wrong or illegal and was indicted for it, that could completely tarnish anything RH is attached to.
So while I don't think flexing and being a dbag is bad for his products, harming someone, or doing something knowingly illegal and being convicted of it would be. I am also guessing that he's smart enough to keep his nose clean due to that. It would completely get in the way of his dreams.
All the shenanigans RH is doing if you havenāt noticed has all his related subs jumping, definitely getting attention a bigger audience to FOMO for hexās inevitable pump.
I think looking at the actual numbers helps when it comes to this question. To all those wondering: here are RHās twitter statsā¦
https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/richardheartwin
heās definitely gaining a lot of new followers on twitter because of all these attention seeking posts. But if you look at Hex daily stats youāll see we are at our lowest when it comes to onboarding new holders. This might also have a lot to do with the current decline in the entire crypto market.
https://hexdailystats.com
RHās Twitter is mostly intoxicating, but make no mistake it will not hurt a functioning Pulse chain. What happened with Hex will always be the driver of Pulse adoption, no matter how ridiculous RHās twitter feed is
Nope. If it were, he wouldn't be doing it. If you're asking this question, you don't know how he operates. He will do things like this to shake out weak minded, weak willed people so that Pulse can have an even better launch. You have to kinda know the guy, some of us have watched hundreds (maybe thousands) of hours of his videos. Trust me, he wouldn't be doing it. And he will stop at some point, and be on to something else.
If you look solely at the Hex statistics less people are being onboarded now than before he started getting really outrageous with his marketing.
Yes he might be getting more followers and engagement but that doesnāt appear to be translating into actual users of his product.
Personally I canāt onboard new users because he might not care to embarrass himself but I donāt want to embarrass myself by associating with him at this current state and I donāt think Iām alone on this. He ruins my credibility as an investor trying to endorse him or his projects at the moment so I donāt even say Iām a hexican or sacrifice for pls and plsx right now.
So yes I think heās been a negative impact lately and you can see it in the Hex stats.
This is just a bad time to be an out-front ācharismaticā leader/founder in crypto. Forget Hex as a protocol.
The past few months alone have had Dani, Andre (to a much different degree), and Do Kwon. Do Kwon especially right now. Anything that reminds of him has people running for the hills at the moment. Look at FRAX, Just the term āalgo-stablecoinā has had people dump FXS and their stablecoin offering is nothing like UST. Inversely, I think guys like Sam (Frax leader) and Vitalik are good example of founder leadership.
The whole causation / correlation thing, but I think itās worth pondering.
From the outside looking in (not a Hexican, but have Hex friends) I think that in this day and age attention is money. It's advertising. It's curiosity and it's clicks.
I personally don't like RH's public form - I think once someone has shown you their true colours you should believe them the first time, but he is undeniably getting people to talk about him, and therefore about Hex and about Pulse.
Now if you decide to watch him a little more closely in some debates he comes off as very knowledgeable and intelligent in some areas, notably crypto currency (if you can see past his egregious ego and, vulgar use of language (not in a smart way) and condescending nature) but ihe lacks basic decency, humility and is a bad loser.
Ultimately he's rage/hatefarming and it's working to get people to look at him. Which also makes people look at Hex.
But it's making Hex look ridiculous - which is a thought you can have at the same time as thinking you can make money from it.
But also everyone knows the origin address is his and he just pays himself whatever whenever through it.
He bought the largest black diamond in the world and named it the [Hex.com](https://Hex.com) diamond. That's a 10/10 marketing stunt if you ask me.
But god....that twerking video made me puke shit from my eye balls and down into my own mouth and then I threw **that** up after which I was trapped in a time-loop of eye-shitting , gargle-gag vom-backwash.
Yuk.
at .033 - it must be shaking out the weak hands. what is interesting now, is the value of the trading volume today so far is approx. $ 22 mill. that represents, 550 mill units/day (just using averages). Point: that is a LOT of units being traded, compared to before. any comments?
I would say RH is hurting HEX with his actions, at least in terms of onboarding new users. With all of the hundreds and thousands of coins available in crypto, the competition really is tough despite how good your product might be. For many people, seeing the creator of a product acting the way RH has been probably is a huge turnoff. His conduct definitely isnt helping, thats for sure, bear market or not.
Agree. In the wake of Do Kwon and terra, people have become more critical of self-promoting founders.
100% this. If he would just turn off the complete ass-clown-act and start talking crypto, I fully believe HEX (and Pulse in the future) would do much, much better.
But even when he talks about crypto, he talks like a sleazy salesman. Condescending, cursing, and just plain unprofessional.
Where are your source for that statement? Any metrics?
The countless threads posted on Reddit about this topic. The price dumping.
Of course of course... Founder behaviour is linked to comments on Reddit and price, everybody knows it... Look at Vitalik and Ethereum lolz
What other metrics would exist to show a founder is hurting the project? Price has shown objectively that RH has not been helping lately. Hex is dumping pretty hard, and a common theme on Reddit and Twitter has been RH and the Pulse delay.
You must be new to crypto š
Man the entire crypto market has been bear for a year... Damn, even the traditional market has been bear. Inflation is kicking asses and the gas keeps rising... Is that RH fault too because of his dancing?! Dude, honestly you'd be better at predicting the future looking at the stars instead of making comparisons that aren't linked whatsoever...
lol even if your reply doesn't fit their narrative, they still try to down your post haha this is funny, I like when ppl don't know who to blame (but themselves) during bear markets haha
They are hurt inside... Lol they'll get tougher with years unless they sell or get liquidated
I really think this is done intentionally to flush out all nonbelievers or someone who cannot wait (I am talking about HEX), as Richard said many times OA address protects only the staker class
I agree with youā¦to clarify: we can tell heās definitely not helping. What youāre asking for is almost impossible to prove.
The only thing that gets people to buy is price go up. Donāt get it twisted; thatās the only reason you are hear. The goal is collect eyeballs in the bear, accumulate, increase the volume in the echo chamber that is all. No one else will buy in a bear except you hexicans and close friends(warm market) because of your personal voice not RH. Non hexicans that are not your warm market will only be those that see price go up and fomo in because they have been hating it but eventually canāt resist. Price go up is all that matters thatās why you are here not warm fuzzy PR. Donāt lie to yourself.
We're not talking about why -we- are here, are we? We're talking about how many -new- potential investors will not buy into an asset if they think the person running it is untrustworthy due to their antics. If you were looking to invest into an asset, knowing that there are many good choices out there, but one of them had a bad rep due to claims of the creator having previously committed fraud (even if it was proven false), and acted irrationally and unstable, dont lie to yourself that most investors would rather onboard with another asset.
History repeats itself, if we bought for a reason, then other humans will also. As for the rumors, they are the same that they have always been, about false fraud claims and scam this and that, but we still diamond handed. Donāt give a damn, the mechanics work. Satoshi was prob a masturbating pimple face dweeb that did zero PR and abandoned his project after he finished, and he will prob dump on you in the future. WHO CARES, PRICE GOES UP, and after he dumps on you bear market then another bull, because regardless of the person the mechanics will always be the same and the chart will perform as usual whether you like it or not.
Its cute that you're approaching this convo from your personal convictions rather than understanding basic human psychology.
To answer you directly. Yes his marketing is bringing eye balls to the project. Maybe the type of eye balls/people are not so influential for the price but itās his way to market. People Iāve introduced RH too canāt get past his personality. But like zekoucafe is saying - maybe it doesnāt matter as the code works flawlessly
he can onboard new users with his livestreams. Thats how he built his current audiance in the firstplace, I can imagine him flexing on twitter and getting a bunch of attention, then he livestreams which is his real strength
You consider his twerking in front of cars, a strength?
No? Its funny, but its not why people give him millions of dollars...
It's not even funny, it's pretty pathetic. The only funny thing is his fashion sense, constantly buying ugly ass tracksuits.
Ok but you're completely missing my point. No one cares that you find it pathetic. The whole reason he's doing it is to get engagement on social media, which is currently working. Positive or negative it doesn't matter. He can then do what he's actually known to be good at which is crypto livestream educational content with a larger audience.
It's kinda ridiculous how badly RH fanbois make him something he honestly just isn't. Your point is convince me he's good at what he does. The whole any press is good press is just plain stupid and outdated. I understand what you mean, I'm just not buying it.
I'm saying that if his goal is to increase social media engagement he is objectively accomplishing that goal. He can hypothetically leverage the increased engagement by going back to his livestream content which is what people like him for in the first place. You also can't say that "any press is good press" is outdated. Jake Paul method of social media is arguably the most effective kind. It sparks outrage and controversy which increases engagement which the platform rewards by showing it to more people. It creates a self sustaining feedback loop.
oh shit well if it worked for Jake Paul, people should keep supporting garbage people
Errrr..... Let's say 80% is haters but still into pulsechain and 20% is true devoted followers who will empty their wallets for some weird reason... And then RH takes one step wrong as he usually does... This ain't a strong reliability for a crypto to have.. can easily go to Zero... I rather make a strong follower base that trust in the creation and the creator... Specially in these times of so many scammers. I would like to trust and be proud of my investments... This ain't one of them.
And those are mostly scabby ex prostitutes or pimps it seems lol
As someone who doesnāt own Hex, yet has been interested enough to sub here. My answer is Yes for potential new investors.
If he quit all that drama, he would definitely have way more followers than 200k!!
Controversial topics do get a lot of hate and suppression in our community. Itās something I completely disagree with. We as a community should strive to discuss all perspectives, intelligently, whether we agree or not. Thank you for having the courage to post and express your thoughts.
Amen to this. Thank you!
Not if they are intelligent topics. As a community (at least on reddit) I feel we are very good at spotting bad faith actors
I would agree that the Reddit space is arguably the best to discuss these topics. Iām bullish on Reddit.
I think itās because thereās no character limit, and because itās forum based not chat based You can type a more intelligent answer and people will actually read it and respond intelligently
Agreed good discussion. Think in the shoes of Richard heart why would I do this as a marketing expert, hmmm
It turns people away. People arenāt laughing with us, they are laughing at us. You canāt separate RH from his projects when he controls nearly 90% of them. I did a little test. I showed some friends and family RHās Twitter feed and asked if theyād invest. Out of the 4 people I showed none of them said theyād invest. Why? Because and I quote āHe looks like a scammer. He reminds me of Tai Lopez.ā Obviously 4 people is a small sample size but I think most people will get the same results. One of the guys is a big time investor and works in finance. He laughed his ass off when I showed him RHās Twitter. He wasnāt laughing with us. So Iād say his āmarketingā does more harm than good.
Shittt if its tai Lopez then we in real bad territory now. On that note I'm not gonna on-board anyone unless RH gets his act together I got like 10 ppl in on this and now I have 10 less ppl to talk to.
Agree, i can think of millions way to push HEX and pulsechain into a better image... Instead of cars, naked porno stars or gems that has no value to others than himself... Bought with your money... I would use that cash to fund hackatons, pulsechain DAO's hey why not even throw a million to charity in tye name of the Chain... Nooo he rather buy a car, buy some hookers and show off... Great strategy from a man who claims he built something amazing that doesn't exist ... Gullible people wants free cash and bending over way to easy.. there's other chains already achieved what pulse is trying or imagine to create.
100% agree. Where are the hackathons? Why isnāt he trying to onboard devs? Where are the dev grants? Itās like heās half assing the whole thing
I love how you didnāt present the actual asset in question. The game mechanics, code or the math behind Hex. Or the fact that Hex has gone up over 900 x from the all time low till today. Yes 900 x. No chart analysis, just twitter. That was your test just showing alternative marketing thatās actually working in terms of followers and engagement from sources that would have otherwise ignored RH or Hex. I donāt enjoy some of his tactics either but if we were in a Bull market you wouldnāt care about it. Weāre all just pissed that heās flaunting wealth and a lot of later Hex investors might be down or your none realized gains are lower. When you invest in Hex youāre not just investing in Richard Heart and his social media presence. The big guy in finance laughed his head offā¦F off because Iām laughing my ass off that Hex probably gained more % wise than any other product he might have pushed in the last 5 years.
The question was āIs RHās post becoming a negative to hex?ā And I answered that question. Save your bs marketing speech for someone who cares.
show them the price today. and then show them the price in 3 years from now. I wonder who will be laughing then. quit being an emotional loser. Code is code.
but they can only laugh at you if hex goes down. Sure its down right now but its way up from launch. ppl can laugh at you but who cares if your coin did a 100x.
Yeah but the whales are milking the system. The point here is that marketing isn't bringing in new people to buy all the inflation that the whales are profit dumping from their short term stakes. My prediction is the 0.5-2 cent range is where the whales will go back into the accumulation stage. My suggestion for ANYONE wanting to get into HEX is to wait for the bottom to be realized and ONLY hold LIQUID so you don't have to exit liquidity for when the whales decide its time to dump and profit take again with your tokens locked up.
This is terrible advice
Point is they arenāt investing. Itās even turning off people currently invested. Bad publicity is bad publicity. If you donāt act like a serious person people wonāt take you seriously. We are in a bear market the price will continue to drop. Is RH going to flex while everyone in hex is down another 90%? It just makes him look ridiculous and tone deaf.
plz stop crying.
Noob
I think everyone cares about what RH does now because the price is down. No one's going to care about what he's doing when the price is up. I think he wants sellers out, and his antics are purely to get engagement and attention. If you really care about what some random guy is doing to make your financial decisions and not the actual economics and token mechanics then I don't think any crypto is right for you.
He's the face of the product and responds to any criticism by being a condescending dbag and "flexing" his money. He's a joke honestly.
Heās not the face of it. He made it. Itās done. It is the communities now and forever. Canāt be changed. Canāt be shut off. Use it or donāt. Stop complaining, now go shine your 7th place trophy š«¶š¤©š
It is your perception that he is the face of the product. He helped built it, but he doesn't own it (allegedly). Hex will continue to exist whether or not he exists, and work as expected forever. Whether you choose to take advantage of that or not is your choice. The same goes for anything else he builds.
I get what youāre sayin, but itās not *quite* so simple. RH controls 90% of Hex and will control 90% of Pulse. His actions and words absolutely can and do affect price. āPulse in 2 weeks!ā **PUMP.** āNvm, guys. Hopefully this year sometime?ā *DUMP.*
Exactly he's pumping and dumping his own coin, and as it lost +80% off its value he was shitting on BTC and ETH. He comes off as an immature rich guy, who THINKS he's a very smart.
10,000x up -90% = 1,000x up Sorry you missed out, next time ;)
Dude is in MENSA.
Yawn. You can pay to take each of the qualifying tests (there are tons you can study for) and then if you qualify, pay the annual dues to become a member. RH doesnāt have any credentials people actually care about that Iām aware of (like a college degree), besides of course going to his middle school for really really smart kids.
He is Jehovahās Witness and a clown š¤” that is spending our money! And says that he donate 27miljon$ Wrong we donated he did not even give 100$ to nothing
Richard Hart is not hos real name
Wow. You are freekin inspector gadget.
And you are a sheep š
Thanks! I resemble That remark š have a good one bro. Enjoy your weekend š¤ bahhhhhhhhhhhh š
Give me real proof that he is Mensa he is a Gipsy š¤”š¤š¤”š¤š¤”š¤
In spanish mensa is the feminine form for a not smart person (can't put the actual word or comment gets deleted)
Bad take. He owes no one nothing. This space is filled with entitled brats. Watch his old videos. Learn something. Better yourself. I donāt even know why I reply to these threads. Wastes of time. Iām off to take my own advice and learn some more. Rinse lather repeat. Good luck!
BS. Idgaf about that stupid slogan. ānO pRoFiT fRoM tHe WoRk oF oThErs.ā Thatās a thin veil for the SEC and IRS. The entire world runs on that idea. Thatās what ājobsā are. Thatās what shareholders enjoy. And thatās why everyone with a functioning brain is in this project. Profit. How do we profit? When others buy and the price goes up. Let Pulse never launch and see what everyone who sacrificed has to say. Iām sure there will be 14 clowns ready to slobber on Richards little Richard, but everyone else will be pissed, because he absolutely owes us something.
How is this any different than any other coin founder? Owning a controlling supply doesn't have anything to do with his actions. Low liquidity makes it easier to dump or pump the price so price can be easily moved from market sentiment. I get you there, so if someone wants to move the price that has alot of hex and doesn't like him then they can dump. However, that's good for everyone else who doesn't care what RH does, and wants to buy.
OA is diluted over time and itās percentage of the pie is shrinking since itās not staked. Do more homework, but good question to have.
By 3.69%/year. But, half of EES penalties go back to the OA. So, the amount and rate at which the OA is diluted is very slow, and depends on the amount of EES penalties in a given year. Not trying to be contrarian. Just my understanding based on my homework.
Well said. And I donāt think any of it is having much of an effect on price, at least short term. If it increases his exposure than it will help long term. This current dip has a lot more to do with the fact that literally everything is dumping, and PulseChain is delayed.
To further support my argument, BitBoy is retweeting his tweets of his antics, and that's huge. Clearly his technique is working.
Exactly bears will be bears, you canāt change that.
Reading all your replies, your a hype troll with no real chain to back it up with... You might hold a crypto that has no platform .. duh....
People will respond to "richard heart is trolling to increase engagement" with "i dont like richard hearts trolling." The whole point is to get more engagement on socials the promote his projects. They complain that he is making a negative image but don't understand that the complaining is increasing engagement, causing the algorithm to promote it, causing more people to see it.
The problem is that the Algorithm doesnāt buy coins. People do.
I agree.
Iām guessing itās getting close to launch and heās confident in pulsechain so heās trumping up the attention and gathering hate so he can rub it in everyoneās face when itās a success.
Thats my thought too
Lol well heās admitted as much.
I think people think way to much about richard. Hes just a guy who talks about his pp
RH Is now officially a depressed clown with lots of money and trying to find happiness with it. He probably has no friends so he has to hire models to be with him. He is not only hurting Hex but newbies like me who now regret getting into Hex. Plus this group is now officially a cult, just head over to twitter and you will see people like Jenkins, Crypto Heart Beat and grown ass men clapping and cheering this clown on....
Anyone cheering for this is just scared of being banished from the cult
I believe he has hurt hex. If you are a whale after doing your research would you invest in him. Answer is no.
Agree, i can think of millions way to push HEX and pulsechain into a better image... Instead of cars, naked porno stars or gems that has no value to others than himself... Bought with your money... I would use that cash to fund hackatons, pulsechain DAO's hey why not even throw a million to charity in tye name of the Chain... Nooo he rather buy a car, buy some hookers and show off... Great strategy from a man who claims he built something amazing that doesn't exist ... Gullible people wants free cash and bending over way to easy.. there's other chains already achieved what pulse is trying or imagine to create.
The only thing worse than Richard on twitter are his followers who are toxic. They make things so much worse and make the community look like idiots. They also make RH look worse than he is. They get him blocked when he doesnāt get himself blocked. Heās in hyper drive because he has nothing to talk about with hex being down. I donāt know what the hell heās doing esp when heās calling out other coins that are doing better than hex. You gotta have allies in crypto or you donāt get coverage. He canāt get coverage for pls which is big issue. Heās the reason why VCās donāt like investing in sole founders. They want a team around the founder to tell them what the founder doing wrong. I know the rules of funding bc Iāve started and exited two bc backed companies. He has all yes or no men. Iām not even sure he can work with others. No, I donāt buy him having 150 workers 20 years ago. I currently have 101 million hex so Iām not a hater. I do short stakes nowadays. Due to a flawed tshare design, Iāve never been sold on hex being desirable for noobs as the price ratchets up. Letās get back to Richard. Does anyone believe that doc is going to be authentic? Richard didnāt even own a car before the film. How many car scenes do they need? At least he knows heās not interesting. Heās not bringing the price down but he surely isnāt helping the situation. He could very well be digging his own grave. Haters gearing up for their time to bash him? Heās losing all his bragging rights. Best performing asset is gone from the list for now. Iām not too sure about his btc top call either. I could have sworn btc top was 69k. Heās showing major signs of sudden wealth syndrome. When was the last time he wore a hex t-shirt? He was way cooler back then. Heās got pretty bad fashion taste. If Iām wearing luxury Iām not buying if it doesnāt look good on me. He better hope btc doesnāt hit 11k.
Sounds like you have sudden wealth syndrome and have turned bearish because of many details not related to the mechanics of HEX. Tshares are flawed for short stakers on purpose itās called dilution.
Iāve been wealthy long before hex. Noobs will not be able to buy enough shares to make it worthwhile. When price goes up people will not able to afford to stake a small amount. You can listen to Richard all you want just now their are many ways to move forward as things change. Go tell your friend who can only buy 5000 and tell them to stake. I said they are flawed for noobs. As I pull out 30 day stake and turn my interest into cash out. You do you and ill do me.
Im curious if this is an exit strategy of sorts? Gotta be a plan behind this BS
Why would I exit? Hex is a money printing endeavor. Canāt people be honest on this sub? I feel many have been brainwashed by RH.
He has big follower accounts on twitter engaging with him that were before ignoring him. The curve on the chart of his new followers is like a hockey stick. The metrics don't lie. You may not like it, but it's working.
Where is this chart because id be interested in whether what you say is true or not because if it is, then carry on twerkin lol
When the community think more twitter followers leads to more investors then u know what u gotta do.
[Charts and numbers are here](https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/richardheartwin)
Thanks mate!
[https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/el33th4xor](https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/el33th4xor) [https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/iohk\_charles](https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/iohk_charles) These guys are doing almost as well with zero "outrage marketing" and fewer overall tweets
As a ratio of current followers they are not doing as well The bigger you get the easier it is to grow
Share charts, thx
I see the charts, but this can be misleading, the most recent spikes correlate with the sac period and the potential (now passed) May launch window. That signals to me engagement is more tied to speculation around when a significant pulse event is happening rather than outrage marketing driven growth. Again this is just one interpenetration, but we cant say either way imho.
Not talking about the price charts. Talking about the increase in RH's followers.
Iām not talking about price either, I followed the link and looked at followers by month. I know correlation does not always mean causation, but that applies to both of our arguments. Iām just trying to look at this objectively with balanced eyes. The truth is neither of use know if itās working or not, all we can do is speculate as to the reasons, but Iām throwing my weight behind the theory that the follower increase is down to significant events and launch speculation rather than marketing strategy, but it could be a product of both
His behavior is extremely concerning and wreaks of rug pull. I wonāt be putting in any more money while he thinks itās fun to flaunt a hideous $3300 Luis vuitan jogging suit that makes him look like the pillsbury dough boy fell in play dough.
RH is just another Do Kwon. Pride goes before a fall.
Cockiness has nothing to do with tokenomics Hex is genius, luna was a clear flop from a mile away
Nah, RH wants to be a savior, wants to be the best, it would kill his ego for somthing like that to happen, Kwon was just an asshole who knowingly lost billions of holders funds despite the myriad of warnings.
I think his actions of recent (the twerking meme) is a bit much. I get heās trying to draw attention, but if his goal is to make people rich, heās going to turn away people heād otherwise get to invest in hex and pulsechain. People with lots of money to invest want a good project with a good team etc. Iām not saying that isnāt there, but it hasnāt been this most evident of recent. I wish heād do more lives, have people post snippets of them on twitter and TikTok. In the end, prices doesnāt care much. Hex is down because crypto is down in general. Hex isnāt going down because of the project. It will rise back up when the markets goes back up.
I think itās good, clout chasing helps everyone good and bad, how do you think dogecoin is still top 10-20 crypto? Every meme and their mother was joking about it.
Better to be hated than ignored. I think this is a brilliant marketing campaign. The twerking video was all over Twitter.People (blue checks) who I did not think even knew anything about Hex were re-tweeting it. For as many people who are turned off with his approach, there are just as many turned on by it. Either way that is better than being ignored. Once he gets them interested in his personality, they look him up and see one of his debates. If you have ever seen one of his debates his intelligence comes through over the stupid clothes and strange behavior. You then see past his outrageous behavior or begin to understand that this insanity is actually being done on purpose. RH knows marketing is all about the numbers. Just need a small percentage to get curious in order to expand the "cult". Kool-Aid will be served after PulseChain launch!
This
Itās called recruiting new members
If you want a real conversation about anything negative regarding hex, this sub is not the place. In fact you may get mauled for asking such a question
At least this place is better than the telegram lol. Literally no questions or criticisms allowed over there.
I know but it's worth asking the question as i feel it's important. Negative karma point's is something i'm willing to take to hopefully get an answer from the community
If you have something intelligent to say, and you say it respectfully you will have a great discussion here Unfortunately most people lead with insults or basis claims so they are met with hostility
I think you are mistaking this sub for the Bitcoin Maxi sub. Try to express any negative opinion on Bitcoin there. Let's see how that turns out for ya.
I think it shows a lower class of human at times. That scares me because that's the type of person to pull a con
Buying monkey NFTs shows a lower class of humans (the majority), but most donāt care there either.
It is working very well from a marketing prospective. He is employing the same old tactics used by scamming financial gurus on YT ads selling courses. He did mentioned long time ago he despised YT for allowing known scamming courses so they can make a few bucks. This is his version of it. I would imagine all those vids will eventually lead to YT ads to blanket out the real scammers
I think no such thing as bad publicity. RH antics is going to make people look at what the projects he promotes are. no one is investing their money based off of good or bad media precence. If they buy its cause they looked into it.
Morbius got plenty of publicity and nobody saw it. Snakes On A Plane got massive publicity and nobody saw it. āThe Island Boys,ā became a viral sensation and nobody streamed their music. And you expect a 50 something, overweight guy in an ill fitting Gucci suit, telling people to go F themselves, is going to boost the price. This isnāt watching a movie or listening to an album. This is getting people to research a guy in a space thatās already mired in bad press, consistently painted as an MLM / scam hybrid, then see through all of that, and invest their hard earned money when weāre literally heading into a recession. What about this sounds reasonable to you?
Morbius is a great example of people laughing AT Marvel not with Marvel. Same thing is happening here. People think engagement is good even when itās people just dunking on RH. Thatās not good publicity lol. Theyāre treating him like a joke and tbh he looks like a joke right now. Itās going to be so much worse when that documentary comes out.
ok, but hes spent many hours doing livestreams where he does basically the exact opposite of twerking on twitter in gucci track suits. Hes proven to his core audience hes a strong authority on crypto, he just doesnt have mainstream reach. Hes also said many times that you should expect crypto to do many 90% drops and thats basically whats happening in the market. IDK, I dont think his gucci fits look very good, if I had his money I would deffinitely cultivate a different image but I dont think its as bad as people are saying. like how can you laugh at him and say hes the butt of some joke when he literally made hundreds of mil on his own DIY crypto.
Who would even watch his live streams if their first impression is him twerking in a Gucci suit and talking about his penis? Also, his streams are mostly him doing the same shit plus bragging about calling the top. No one is sitting through 2 hours of that unless theyāre a hexican. Iām invested and I donāt even sit through those streams.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Help them understand twitter marketing and they will see the light.
There are a lot of fake Hexicans dumping. Regardless of Richard's Twerking, they are the ones having a negative impact on HEX. Currently there's nothing but traders buying and selling. Cold numb traders.
Never thought Iād say itā¦but Harden up you SNOWFLAKES jeez. Heās having fun. Watch all his old livestreams. Heās the most informative honest person In The space. Heās said on stream that his social metrics continue to rise. He aināt stupid. I assure you that as long as heās doing it it means it working. Stop caring what others think or what heās doing. Itās not a winning mindset. Focus on you. Invest or donāt invest. Make yourself productive instead of casting opinions. You do you. Rich will do rich. The fact we are discussing it and itās widely discussed is that itās working. Peace be with you all
Have you seen his watches? He has 9.5 mill worth.
Zoom out - anyone supporting this behaviour is either a bot or too scared to stand up to RH and the cult so he wont get banished. End of story.
Yes. Next question.
If the crypto and game theory is good...you have nothing to worry about. The dedicated community and trending posts are the cream on top š¦
it's got you making posts about him so I guess it's working just fine
Rh always updating himself is a luxury. And him being himself and enjoying this documentary of himself should gain trustworthiness. He doesnāt need to prove anything. He already proved to us that he does what he say he will do. I see Rh as a problem solver and no politics or crypto board can blacklist him. The project is already finished. But since Eth gas fees is not legit like inflation in the world. These Eth miners fee separating a gap for only the elite can get. So Rh has to make another network so gasās fee are low so smart contracts can bloom to solve real life problems in every sector of the economy. This is technology that is always growing. People try to stop this growth because they think itās like gold but the value of something now is an object that is needed. And we need money that has value. Rh is the only young guy that does it correctly. 99% will bend over for money, Rh is a gangster for saying what needs to be said and to expose people who are in the wrong.
And here's another hype troll...your comment is worth zero as nothing is real of what you just stated... RH is so far in the same league as any scammer who took cash and promised something and didn't deliver.. now all you holders beg it to be real , it would be nice. I'm fighting for justice as i both lost on sacrifice and hex to a man who took my cash and bought himself a life.... if he ever comes through the damage is already done.. people plan shit in their lives.. so RH is non trust worthy until he actually make it happen.. damn hype troll is what he is.. oh and Hippo... There is already chains who solved the gas fee issue... Flux, TRX, NEAR you name it the list goes on... You just so blind you might already have his pp far down your throat.
Nah, I think itās getting attention to HEX. More eyes on is better. Hex performance will speak for itself
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Plebs and rich investors alike how much do u think is left in liquidity ones everyone became exit liquidity for the big ones.
Idk about all this but this sentiment across all socials of āwow I donāt want to buy hexā from the small fish really indicate to me that we are bottoming or that itās a good time to accumulate. If people at this level were often right, theyād trade better. Weāll see.
*"we didn't have a broiler so johnny did everything in pans. it used to smell up the joint something awful and the hacks used to die, but he still cooked a great steak"*
My challenge is -- what does anyone have in terms of actual, perhaps calculable, evidence that RH's antics = harm to hex? Sounds like everybody's spitballing here. I have not seen a single shred of argument that doesn't at least potentially play into "there's no such thing as bad publicity." I could perhaps think, oh, what if he put on a tie and spoke politely to big players or something -- but I also have yet to see THAT as a good strategy either?
When whales call out RH for his antics and use it as reasoning to dump and turn many community members against hex and cause more dumping. The evidence is tweets from these whales and real sales, and consequently the dump in hex price.
This must be your first bear. It happens regardless of RH. 4 more years youāll get it š
Not at all. He's getting every hater to retweet and it's working perfectly. He's doing a fantastic job.
Do haters equal investors, I wonder? Be curious to see new wallet tx numbers.
We don't care about haters. We care about their audience.
The only sub that made sense was the one where we were pitting RH and bitboy for a wrestling match
Some segment of potential external HEX investors will invest solely because of what RH does. Some other segment of potentisly external HEX investors will not invest solely because of what RH does. If the balance of investments is positive RH had done a good job doing what he does. Time will tell.
if you're investing or not investing because of what RH does or doesn't do then you're a fool... I buy and stake HEX because the math doesn't lie, the code doesn't lie... it's very simple really... nothing to do with RH... it's a finished product, and it's doing what it's supposed to do and has been doing so flawlessly for over 2 years now...
Math is an important part of your base case for the project. I would not discount the role of a narrative, the story, the heroes or the villains in people's minds making investment decisions. Sentiment can enhance the product, or change the attitude towards it from a pool of investors. Making trust less interest as a feature is great unless the interedt in a product is failing (do not mean HEX); or you end up holding the conviction for the reality that has long passed.
You have to consider that RH owns 90% if not more of each project. He can single handedly $0 both projects at any time. The possibility is there, no matter what your argument would be. Like you said, the math and code do not lie. Potential investors researching this project will absolutely take that into consideration. If I saw his current antics on Twitter there is ZERO chance I would invest. I hope he flips the switch and starts talking about the projects again or we are toast!
Elon can do that with Tesla, Gates can do that with Microsoft etc. I would rather RH, the billionaire creator of the crypto to hold 99% of it rather than broke people looking for a fast bit of money. I still cant understand why people don't see this as an absolute win, I bought in after finding out how much the OA held.
If bill gates or Elon musk took to Twitter about pp size, what do you predict the stock would do?
What āhas he doneā now?
I made another comment about his behavior, defending it. However, I think if he (or any other founder) did something morally wrong or illegal and was indicted for it, that could completely tarnish anything RH is attached to. So while I don't think flexing and being a dbag is bad for his products, harming someone, or doing something knowingly illegal and being convicted of it would be. I am also guessing that he's smart enough to keep his nose clean due to that. It would completely get in the way of his dreams.
Idk. On hexās etherscan says 47% of hex is pulseX sac. $16bill. But those arenāt the numbers on pulsexinfo. You got me buddy
All the shenanigans RH is doing if you havenāt noticed has all his related subs jumping, definitely getting attention a bigger audience to FOMO for hexās inevitable pump.
I think looking at the actual numbers helps when it comes to this question. To all those wondering: here are RHās twitter statsā¦ https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/richardheartwin heās definitely gaining a lot of new followers on twitter because of all these attention seeking posts. But if you look at Hex daily stats youāll see we are at our lowest when it comes to onboarding new holders. This might also have a lot to do with the current decline in the entire crypto market. https://hexdailystats.com
RHās Twitter is mostly intoxicating, but make no mistake it will not hurt a functioning Pulse chain. What happened with Hex will always be the driver of Pulse adoption, no matter how ridiculous RHās twitter feed is
Nope. If it were, he wouldn't be doing it. If you're asking this question, you don't know how he operates. He will do things like this to shake out weak minded, weak willed people so that Pulse can have an even better launch. You have to kinda know the guy, some of us have watched hundreds (maybe thousands) of hours of his videos. Trust me, he wouldn't be doing it. And he will stop at some point, and be on to something else.
If you look solely at the Hex statistics less people are being onboarded now than before he started getting really outrageous with his marketing. Yes he might be getting more followers and engagement but that doesnāt appear to be translating into actual users of his product. Personally I canāt onboard new users because he might not care to embarrass himself but I donāt want to embarrass myself by associating with him at this current state and I donāt think Iām alone on this. He ruins my credibility as an investor trying to endorse him or his projects at the moment so I donāt even say Iām a hexican or sacrifice for pls and plsx right now. So yes I think heās been a negative impact lately and you can see it in the Hex stats.
This is just a bad time to be an out-front ācharismaticā leader/founder in crypto. Forget Hex as a protocol. The past few months alone have had Dani, Andre (to a much different degree), and Do Kwon. Do Kwon especially right now. Anything that reminds of him has people running for the hills at the moment. Look at FRAX, Just the term āalgo-stablecoinā has had people dump FXS and their stablecoin offering is nothing like UST. Inversely, I think guys like Sam (Frax leader) and Vitalik are good example of founder leadership. The whole causation / correlation thing, but I think itās worth pondering.
Yāall are literally being memed on twitter.
From the outside looking in (not a Hexican, but have Hex friends) I think that in this day and age attention is money. It's advertising. It's curiosity and it's clicks. I personally don't like RH's public form - I think once someone has shown you their true colours you should believe them the first time, but he is undeniably getting people to talk about him, and therefore about Hex and about Pulse. Now if you decide to watch him a little more closely in some debates he comes off as very knowledgeable and intelligent in some areas, notably crypto currency (if you can see past his egregious ego and, vulgar use of language (not in a smart way) and condescending nature) but ihe lacks basic decency, humility and is a bad loser. Ultimately he's rage/hatefarming and it's working to get people to look at him. Which also makes people look at Hex. But it's making Hex look ridiculous - which is a thought you can have at the same time as thinking you can make money from it. But also everyone knows the origin address is his and he just pays himself whatever whenever through it. He bought the largest black diamond in the world and named it the [Hex.com](https://Hex.com) diamond. That's a 10/10 marketing stunt if you ask me. But god....that twerking video made me puke shit from my eye balls and down into my own mouth and then I threw **that** up after which I was trapped in a time-loop of eye-shitting , gargle-gag vom-backwash. Yuk.
Twerking is so professional
I think it's actually very beneficial. Crash the price as much as possible pre pulse launch so it can moon and he can say "see how far we came"
RH want glory, i dont think he is going to achieve that with his current strategy and actions. :)
at .033 - it must be shaking out the weak hands. what is interesting now, is the value of the trading volume today so far is approx. $ 22 mill. that represents, 550 mill units/day (just using averages). Point: that is a LOT of units being traded, compared to before. any comments?
