Is Haejin A Guru Or A Quack? Let’s Find Out

in bitcoin •  7 years ago  (edited)

I honestly don’t know yet but it is time to find out. There has been a fairly significant battle going on between supporters and detractors of Haejin for a while now. Most Steemians who are tuned in to what’s going on with the platform would have seen some of the fallout and it hasn’t been pretty. Just when it seemed to have settled down it has flared back up. I have been meaning to have a closer look at the validity of Haejins Technical Analysis for a while now, both for my own interest and in the interest of potentially helping to settle this dispute.

The Case For Genius

The supporters of Haejin claim that he is a Genius. With his Elliot Wave theory Technical Analysis of various different Cryptos there are people who say that he’s made them a ton of money with his price forecasts. If this is true then surely his presence on STEEM is very welcome and he is probably worth the significant rewards he is getting from his upvotes.


The Case For Quackery

The detractors of Haejin claim that anyone who could throw darts at a dartboard would be able to pick profitable Cryptos in this relentless Bull Market. They claim his Technical Analysis is a sham and that he is “Raping the Reward Pool” with an average of maybe 8 high paying posts daily. If this is true then those upvoting him should be educated so that they will stop enabling such abuse.


But how do we get to the truth?

It’s a situation where it’s really just one persons (and their supporters) word against another and people seem to be picking sides, so I am proposing that we use a bit of a scientific method to effectively paper trade some of his previous predictions to see if there is any merit in his analysis. It is a technique that I have used before to effectively benchmark and audit tipsters in any field to see if they are worth following.


Methodology

The first thing to do is to start out with an open mind and consider that either case may be a possibility. With any kind of Scientific Method there is no room for bias and so it is critical that we start out with a clean slate. What I propose to do is to collect all of Haejins posts over a particular time period – maybe 1 to 3 months – and start making the following notes :-

A. For every instance where he makes a bullish prediction and/or shows a price chart showing an increase, we find the price of the Crypto that matches the Timestamp of his post and we make a paper trade of $1000 USD of that Crypto. We ALSO make a paper trade of $1000 USD at the Total Market Capitalisation of the Crypto market as if it was an Index of all Crypto.

B. For every instance where he makes an announcement of profit on a previous call we find the price of the Crypto and the Total Market Cap at the time of the post and we will close out both of the $1000 USD paper trades. We will then compare the profitability of the two trades and see whether Haejin has outperformed the broader market.

C. For any bearish predictions we will do the opposite by shorting $1000 USD of the specified Crypto and shorting the Total Market Cap. I don’t think there are many of these, but it is important to be thorough and have the contingency in place.

D. Any post where he is showing both increase and decrease scenarios will be considered ambiguous and neutral. We will not record any paper trades against these posts.

E. Any instance where he has made a prediction but has NOT made a profit announcement in the Time Period we will take the price of the Crypto and the Total Market Cap at the end of the Time Period and consider that this is an Open Interest, to have current profit/loss recorded accordingly.

What all this will do is determine whether followers of Haejin would have performed better than the broader market, or worse. This is how many hedge fund managers are benchmarked. If Haejin outperforms the broader market then we can agree that he either has some invaluable insight into Crypto Technical Analysis or he is able to influence the market with self-fulfilling predictions. Either way, he is worth following and worth having on STEEM. If he under performs the broader market then we can agree that he adds no real value to the platform and followers would be better off throwing darts at a dartboard than following his predictions.

I am not normally one to get involved in this sort of personal conflict, but I can see it is a detriment and a distraction for the platform. If I can be blunt I am tired of it and it has gone on for long enough. I think that it is time for it to be resolved and some impartial analysis be done to bring facts into the light. I’m not expecting the die-hards on either side of this argument to ever change their mind (or even support this analysis) but I’m hoping there are enough people with the platforms best interest at heart who will support it.

Does this sound fair?

Would you support the outcome of my findings?

I would certainly enjoy reading such an analysis. I chose not to make one myself, for a few reasons:

  1. Good chance of being attacked rather than rewarded, regardless of outcome.
  2. Nobody seems to care about the evidence or due process, but seems more interested in convicting people in the communist court of public opinion.

Maybe I can help out, if you want, message me on Discord.

I appreciate the offer. I haven't yet started out so I haven't estimated the amount of work involved and the (proportional) time period. I think I saw you made some notes about profitability previously and the main difference here is I want to benchmark against the broader market cap.

This is a very good point - ive seen constructive comments from both sides, but the masses are still committed to argue and flag on behalf of whoever they believe in, regardless of facts.

@lexiconical: can you explain why you seem to leave steemit? I would like to understand, so my question is plain and serious. Does this war has a significant impact on the whole community from your perspective? Sometimes I think that and then I don't. From what I understand it doesn't matter how the majority behaves but those who can cause great impacts through their wallets. ... When the big players drive it into the swamp: this is it?

Me, I think it would be nice to know. However, you are taking a big big risk if you do this. You do understand that he with a couple of 100% downvotes on you and his favorite whale a couple of 100% downvotes on you, your Rep could be a twin of berniesanders.

If you have a rescue whale, I would say go for it. If it ends up being a blatant scam, like performance is 230% below what the broader market is, you could be in serious trouble. Remember it is almost always the messenger that takes the bullet.

If you do this, remember steemcleaners will try to help fight against retaliation downvoting, so keep them in the back of your mind if you take this project on.

This is a good point and it is a risk that I have considered. For a start, I am not downvoting anyone and I am trying to approach the issue from an impartial angle and not take sides. I am trusting that my integrity will be recognised and preserved.

If the findings do come out one way or the other and I do get attacked for it, I would hope that I'll find support from other whales to counter any downvotes. If that doesn't happen then my logical conclusion will be that the platforms demise in inevitable and I am wasting my time here, so I will leave. But I am optimistic it won't come to that :)

Even if they do flag you, you'd still be right.

I'd go for it if I cared even the slightest fucking bit. This commie flag was has utterly destroyed any fucks I had left to give about this platform.

I guess I still care a bit and I've missed your posts of late. If you do end up giving any fucks about any other platform please be sure to drop me a note about it :)

If that doesn't happen then my logical conclusion will be that the platforms demise in inevitable and I am wasting my time here, so I will leave. But I am optimistic it won't come to that.

I'll be right behind you if this happens, because I always believed that this was Steemit's biggest flaw.

Agreed. This is a commie nightmare waiting to flare out. The "party" controls the stake, and they decide how much you "get" to have.

Same here I think if Steemit can clean it's act up regarding this we have a serious platform otherwise it's going to die.

If the worst does happen, then I am sure some will come to your aid. I think it would be something @ned would aid in if he had to, and if not, there are a lot of redfish, minnows, and dolphins that would try to help, if a call for help is sent out.

Oh, yeah, Ned is a real crusader for helping the little guy rofl:

Ned Self Vote 6k.png

Ned Self Vote $6000.png

Corollary: This place is fucked.

I am trusting that my integrity will be recognised and preserved.

This is a nice sentiment, but unfortunately people don't always respect impartiality and the scientific method. This whole haejin mess is pretty ridiculous. I'm just a minnow watching the sidelines but when money is at stake people have a tendency to toss out things like respect of integrity.

I still think it's a good idea, though. I like the idea of someone actually doing the research instead of taking sides and screaming at each other.

You have to BE the change you want to see in the world...or in this case, platform :)

This is going to be a good test for me to find out if I am wasting my time here. So I look forward to the outcome however it plays out.

You are, indeed, mostly wasting your time here.

great post, shame it's buried here inside the inside.

On that quote alone i wish you all the best amigo!

Any deliberate bullying without due course of discussions should be countered. One way for that would be to create an account that could counter such attacks and all sensible people can delegate some SP to this account so that the greater interests of the platform are maintained.

However one good thing amongst all these hoopla is that people recognise Steem as value and a source generating income and hence all these attempts at gaming the system. When there are ways to make money power play comes into fore and it is the same case with Steem as well. But let us hope that with governance built into blockchain it can be better handled on Steem than in the real world.

Whether Steem whales will consider the long term prospects of the platform and hence their own or will they think short term will decide the fate of the platform itself in my opinion.

Do you mean gaming the system as in posting multiple comments in response to a post, self-voting them to 100% without even upvoting the original post.

Yeh, that sort of gaming the system really sucks eh. It's rife.

Thats a good approach. But one flaw I see is that it was an alt bull market so alt-coins would have performed much better compared to bitcoin or the top 3-4 coins. If there is a way you could factor in that as well then it would be a great analysis.

He spotten the altcoin bull run and milked the maximum out of it. Once he got popular the hysteria could have added to the pumping effect he had by posting about an altcoin.

However this has highlighted the governance issue in Steemit. Next couple of days will be interesting and I would like to see how these issues are sorted out.

I applaud your willingness to do this (if in fact you gain enough support through the comments to feel it worth all the time and effort to do it). I think it's only appropriate that a neutral party take a look at the results.

I've been around on Steemit just long enough to know that this is a big part of the issues currently plaguing the platform, and it would be good to be able to resolve it through proper analysis. I will accept the results no matter how it turns out (I have no dog in the fight, other than seeing resolution to the ongoing back and forth).

My main concern is the results will be inconclusive, and we will be right back in it.

Thanks. It is quite likely the results will be inconclusive, but we won't know until we try :)

Been watching the crypto markets since 2013 and for me it was pick a coin and hodl = win. Today it's no different but still for long term. I think his predictions are not wrong in a sense but still anyone can make them. His only upside is understanding the charts, but any coin listed on the most popular exchange will bring profits.

Just because of how many XRP there are, I never imagined what XRP is doing today. This has opened my eyes to what other coins can do, and the actual demand that crypto has. The market cap will absolutely grow tremendously.

I have actually tried your method with a few of his predictions already, but on a much smaller scale. It has been a loss since then but the reason is pretty obvious. However; I think it is still to early to make any decisions. So I would absolutely support your outcome because I feel that when it comes to my "investments" vs "his suggestions" I think my own will be more profitable.

I'm not exactly throwing darts at a dart board, however; following his predictions IMO is like throwing darts at a dart board. I can say that any coin will be both up and down in a given day, and be right. So far his "numbers" are off as I'm still waiting for Dash to hit $1900 and NXT to hit over $3. Predictions are great and so are profits but when I invest in a coin it is because I believe in the coin. I believe in what it's doing, what it stands for, I understand it. I can see how it is unique unlike other copycoins, scamcoins and shitcoins. I can see where it brings value and the world needs it. I do my research and my due diligence on a coin. When it comes to making predictions about coins, for example, that are listed on Bittrex, man it's damn near a win/win for any coin. Sit on a coin long enough and you'll see gains. I'm already in dash, so his dash prediction isn't my reason for being in dash. His NXT prediction reminded me that I wanted some and it was time, because I believe in the coin anyways I figured why not.

Sit on a coin too long and you'll see a loss, as well as "If you had woken up 3 hours earlier and signed in, you would have seen decent gains and buy back more 3 hours later during the drop". It's just all about timing, but it's all about the value that the coin brings too.

When Dash first made the change from Darkcoin and Ethereum was relatively new, they were both at $1. I knew that they were going to be huge. They brought huge potential to the table because I read about them and did my research. Did I profit from my own prediction based on my own research and understanding? Absolutely

The problem is a lot of New Money coming in and doesn't understand whatsoever how crypto works, they just want to play the market.

Don't just take his word for it, read up on the coins. However; in todays market, you can play the trading game with any coin and make profits daily because of the volatility.

I also feel many are upvoting him just to get curation rewards. From seeing my rewards, people are doing it wrong when it comes to upvoting a post just because it's trending or just because it'll payout huge thinking they'll get a large curation reward out of it.

Good post. What you are talking about here is analysing and understanding the Fundamentals of a Crypto, which is something I believe very strongly too. But a lot of people are uninformed and just rely on Technical Analysis (charting) from people like Haejin, which is why I think it's important for people to know whether it's a strategy that can work or not so they can be better informed.

I actually like this idea regardless of the issues surrounding him.

I did this actually with an ai bot I was following that made calls. Spent a few hours tracking all the calls and realized it was a decent bot!

Then sure enough he released a "summary of his calls" and how accurate they were a day later...blahhhh all that time put in to find out how accurate he was and then he goes and tells me! lol

It's always best to never blindly follow anything though. EVERYTIME I find a new TA person and blindly follow their calls I ALWAYS lose money on that call, 100% lol karma!

I'd be very interested to see this AI bot if your open to sharing. I haven't started the analytical grind yet but it sounds like it might make the job easier. Does it do any benchmarking against the broader market?

Couldn't we just ask to see a copy of his trading journal? Or maybe he can show us his account performance/track record on a site like Myfxbook? The proof is in the pudding.

The problem here is that the other side won't trust the trading journal is not modified. This way is more work but it is also more likely the 2 sides will recognise the independent analysis.

Myfxbook is 100% true and verifiable ... the statistics there on a live account can be trusted.

There is a battle between "grumpy cat" supporters and detractors too.

He has no supporters other than his self-voting and minnow sycophants who are idiots:

Abuse 3.png

we either decide we have the right to control how people use their steem, or we don't. that really is the question...

somehow this whole thing feels like gun control, start a fire here, blame it on those over there, try to gain some advantage.

just saying, it smells fishy to me, with lots of name calling, and little discussion. and trying to say 'be nice' got downvoted to oblivion on his post. lol.

We don't have the right to control what people do, but we DO have the right to decide (collectively) how the reward pool gets shared. All I am doing here is trying to ensure people are more informed of the facts before they make their own decision on how they want to share the rewards.

That's an interesting approach. Have you already started implementing it ?

Not yet, I am just seeing whether I have any chance of getting support to see whether it is worth doing and whether I will do a short time period or a longer one. (I'm not doing a huge amount of analytic work if no-one cares)

I see. Getting some reward for this work is maybe not easy. Probably there would be more traction if you compare different gurus, so people could use your results to make a decision on whom to follow.

It is probably a different post to be comparing gurus. Here I just want to find out if this is genuine value on the platform or abuse.

Creating a Token that is resembling the difference between the prediction and the true development could maybe do the job another way around. It would be easy to do this with a trusted party, but that's maybe not possible here. As the predictions are already on the blockchain it should be enough to create price feeds for the altcoins, and deploy the tokens as some form of contract for difference. In a natural way the token's exchange rate should mimic the quality of the prediction and additionally transfer SP/SBD to the people banged on the target.

Ok. It's an interesting idea. I'd like to make sure I can crawl though, before I try to walk or run with something like this :)

I would REALLY like to see this data and would support it. It would be VERY valuable for this community. We need some kind of resolve!

I have not forgotten about this but it is a lot of work and even though it is on my TO DO list I probably won't get to it this month.

Something is rotten in the State of Denmark mate.

This Knight has been working his arse off to spread as much love as he can - whilst others do not.

How have you been anyway?

SirKnight.

I've been busy mate. Still trying to figure things out but gradually making sense of it all. This is just the latest chapter and if it all goes pear-shaped it might be my last! :)

Sounds fair to me. I only started following him a couple of weeks ago when it all kicked off. I'm still on the fence but agree in a bull market the dart board theory is just as effective. From the stuff he's predicted that I hold I'm worse off from following him.

I won't tell you what and how many cryptocurrency in holding but he's been more WRONG than right with me. 🐥 quack quack.

I like your scientific approach and I look forward to the outcome

This sounds really fair @buggedout. In my first weeks on Steemit, I was greeted with the e-war.
Although I don't fully understand the issue at stake for now because I am learning about cryptos, I understood there were some casualties between the warring factions, that is, their followers were making serious attacks from both sides.

I even wrote an article as to whether the issue is really a FEUD VERSUS PUBLICITY STUNT having their case in mind but didn't express myself fully because I don't know where the flagging may be coming from or what my account will be like if flagged.

I like your bluntness and I am equally tired of the e-war scenario here.

Thanks. My assessment is that this is a bona-fide FEUD and there is a lot of STEEM POWER on both sides. But it's not a good look for the platform so hopefully my analysis will help to resolve things a little.

Your analysis will likely work if the powers that be support it.

If Elliott Wave analysis worked, the creator of Elliott Wave would be a billionaire from trading profits, and not made almost all his money from selling books.

So save yourself the trouble of all that scientific analysis.

A better analysis would be studying his precision gaming of the Steemit system, which is outstanding in its craftiness. But if you're going to do him, you should do ALL the whales who've been on the system since 2016 bc most of them have gotten majority of gains from acceleration of Steem price combined with having most followers due to time in service.

The only real question is, will Steem be able to improve as a semi-decentralized organization, or will it die bc it becomes nothing but a game only the old and gamey can win? THAT is the more interesting question, and probably best answered by witnesses.

You make a good point. But I think I've probably painted a big enough target on my back for now.

For me the point is not whether haejin is accurate or not, but that even if he isn't, people (including me) have the right to like and follow whomever they want. I would prefer not to have steemit vigilantes out there determined to save me from myself: I defend my right to my own 'stupidity'!

You have the right to be stupid and I'm not looking to take that away. I would defend your right to be stupid.

But if you wanted to choose not to be stupid then maybe I can help you with some factual analysis that might make you less stupid. That's all I'm trying to do here.

PS - I am not calling you stupid. Just answering your point using the same frame you yourself used :)

I would certainly be interested in seeing what the outcome of this is.

I suspect the bull market has helped greatly.

As far as the flagging, it's a bigboys game and I've stayed out of picking a side.

Cheers!

"I suspect the bull market has helped greatly."

The strategy outlined here of comparing against a same-size purchase of the whole crypto market will eliminate this bias.

@abh12345 I stayed out too because I want to build my blog and not endanger my reputation

I support your method and think it’s great you were able to come up with such a great idea. I’ve only been on Steemit for a little over a month so I’m still fairly new to this Haijen debacle but from what I’ve seen it has caused some disruption into the harmony of the platform. So I congratulate you for coming up with a way to put this issue to rest. I look forward to your findings!

Good luck figuring out if he was right for each of his posts. The market stats fluctuate like crazy and he is making 3 claims every day.

There is no doubt there would be a lot of work involved.

Actually this was on my mind on doing exactly this. But have in mind that is is only part of the problem.

But this approach is definetly needed.

But why no do it retroactively? Take old posts and check it with the market reaction?

Retrospectively? Yes, that is what I intended to do.

Creating a Template for Analysts to Follow that are is to parse price and symbol data could help. This way a Bot could track registered and compliant analysts keeping a basic P&L of the provided opinions.

Honestly I'm disappointed no-one has done such an analysis previously. As you say, it's not all that difficult to prove whether they're a scam or not, just a bit time consuming.

I've seen a lot of accusations flying around, with very few facts to back them up. So please, go ahead and do the analysis, so those of us who haven't picked a side yet can pick the side of facts. :-)

Steemit prefers to convict people in the communist court of public opinon, on the word of known abusers like Bernie and Transisto, rather than actually do any research.

It's very much like other social media in that regard.

You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!

LOL. You got a blind upvote from rewardpoolrape. Is that somewhat ironic?

My opinion about haejin is that he could help people make profit @buggedout, however people who are behind he, sometimes don't really want their advices, but his votes on comments

I am super curious what comes out of that!

I personally care little about technical analysis. his tips might be a hit or a miss, but everyone's are- over a period of time. we do not have a crystal ball, so a good guess is worth what its worth. My problem lies with the discussion on censorship and reward pool rape. It creates division and animosity and looks bad in the eyes of minnows. the platform is set up on the assumption that we can regulate ourselves, and this is a test to said principle. People who voted bad content our free to do so, because they value it higher. There should be reprocussions for abusing Steemit but without limiting the freedom of users

nice post bro

Hi! Forgive me if this is an idiotic question but instead of following his predictions, why don't you just analyze and compare his predictions from his earlier posts to the current (or past) actual market prices?

Yes, that is what I was planning to do.

Nice post!

I'd love such statistic and would help you in any way getting it done.

Wouldn't it be fair and transparent to apply some analysis on everyone who doesn't set out by saying 'this is not financial advice'? If it isn't applied to everyone, it seems like targetting a single case/individual.. and a little unfair imo.

Sure. If there was a major flag war and a PR nightmare in progress that was negatively affecting the platform and was centered around any other individual then that would be appropriate.

An action taken against a single person will be seen as illegitimate and easily discredited. A host of examples of abuse may already exist or certainly will arise later. If it is the case which sets the measures in place but the measures apply to everyone, I think the efforts would be better spent that way. You'd also have people from outside this flag war seeing the benefits of supporting it.

You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!

hi this is amazing post

My supposition about haejin is that he could enable individuals to make benefit @buggedout, however individuals who are behind he, some of the time don't generally need their advices, yet his votes on remarks

I am not normally one to get involved in this sort of personal conflict, but I can see it is a detriment and a distraction for the platform

Same here, i concur with you

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I identified him as a quack two months ago when he made a post about EOS. I explained why elliot waves predictions does not work on an ICO that introduces 2,000,000 new tokens into the circulating supply every single day for one year.
His response was rather ignorant saying things like: "I don' care" about the token distribution, and arguing with me about how long it lasts.

It was very easy to see through his lies, and tell he really knew nothing about EOS, the token he was doing an "analysis" on.

I suggest this to you all: Pick a coin or token that you are well educated on, and watch his TA video on it ( I'm sure he's made one for it). Decide for yourself whether or not he's full of shit.

Or just look through his posts and ask yourself the obvious questions that seem out of place... Why are there so many low reputation followers with no pictures or posts that constantly leave typical comments like "Nice post!" earning $5-10 upvotes from each other. Look deeper into these accounts and ask yourself if what's going on makes sense.

EOS 11/17 = $1.67
EOS 1/18 = $9.68

So, you called him out on EOS, were completely wrong and got hopelessly owned, and you are here spinning it as "you were right?"

I can see why your rep is sub-50.

Eos Price.png

are you retarded or do you just have selective comprehending? I never said EOS wouldn't increase in value if that's what you're assuming.
Try reading a little harder.

I thought typing it in caps would help people like you, but I guess some people are just a little slower.

Serious question:
How is he lieing there? He always says that he doesnt care in fundamentals.
Your argument about EOS is an fundamental argument.

The fundamentals of EOS my dear. If one is not interested in the fundamentals herein, one is not able to use it seriously.

Citation for made up bullshit needed.

Eos Price.png

Actually im just new to Crypto in general and no troll.
Whats your problem, i even said serious question.

a-dalora: You're right. Never said that I actually think that TA only is the best of choice. Its still a nice tool.

Still its his opinion. ponts sounds jealous to me.

Oooh look, another low rep/ no picture haejin follower/ resteemer standing up for him. Go away obvious troll.

Does it hurt getting owned this badly?

Eos Price.png

he is right on that a TA trader does not care many times about the fundamentals, a day trader will profit more on TA rather than waiting for the news. Short term, TA, mid-long take care of the Fundamentals :)

He has openly admitted he doesn't care for Fundamentals and his appeal is clearly just Elliot Wave Technical Analysis. It is possible to be successful purely using TA even though I think it is dangerous to do this without understanding Fundamentals, but that's not really the issue here. The question is - Is his stand-alone TA any good?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Maybe there is some confusion in using the word Fundamentals. It seems to be used in the classical sense of fundamentals of the asset by one poster, but in the sense of fundamentals of the theory. If one dismisses fundamental analysis and favors technical analysis he still has to accept the fundamentals of technical analysis to keep hies views consistent.

"accept the fundamentals of technical analysis"

Oh, you mean, exactly like he does?

Do you even know TA?

What is the intended meaning of your 'cathchline' ?

My reply on @buggedout has to be interpreted in a context respecting this comment.

The point is that even if someone is believing in Elliot Waves and Technical Analysis, the ongoing distribution of tokens does not allow its application out of its own underlying ideas.

@lexiconical wrote:

Maybe you should read comments more carefully. The contrary was the statement.

Do you even know TA?

Obviously ! What about you ?

Just because he doesn't "care about the fundamentals" doesn't make my point go away. YOU CANNOT USE ELLIOT WAVE PREDICTIONS WHEN THERE IS A HUGE INFLATION EVERY SINGLE DAY. Why is this so hard for people to comprehend?

And yet, he did so and is making you look stupid.

Your point is valid, but it is actually not relevant to this thread. This isn't an argument of technicals vs fundamentals and if it were, and you actually were a reader of my blog then you would know what side of that debate I am on. It is about potentially settling a dispute with audit-able facts and performance benchmarking instead of screaming opinions at each other.

If you are correct then I will probably actually prove your point. Until then, pull your head in.

When you analyze a coin's potential value and increase in value, but you don't take into account that there's a huge number of these new coins being created every day, you're not actually doing a technical analysis. Not caring about fundamentals doesn't make the inflation go away, it just means you failed at analyzing the coin.

I love the unbiased data driven method. Let the data speak!

About Haejin, i think, someone depends from the point of view of the judging. If the supporters, will judge good. Not the other way.

OK, like really!! i thought this whole heajin thingy has being finally resolved with the whole every 10/6/4 50.50 100power up decision. are you trying to stir up stuff again? cause thus far i was following several posts as regards to the conflicts and i dont see any new issues. brother really, cooome on!

The commie flag wars are back in earnest.

You haven't seen THIS POST yet?

O yeah... i saw it right after i responded to yours. guess you do have a point and the whole situation is pathetic to say the least.

GOOD POST ;)

in my openion he is a Guru

Just like the rest of the low rep and no picture accounts that circle jerk each other in his posts.

Yeah, if only these low rep, sub-50/55 rep accounts would stop pushing their unsupported-by-fact nonsense...

Maybe you should be trying to get Curie'd instead of trying to use a (correct) call on EOS to attack Haejin. Your rep is still low enough for it.

i tried to upload a picture , but something went wrong in doing so :/ and it got the error

update he has a picture now hahaha

That is the best post in Steemit.. now I vote for you.. nice? :)

But how do we get to the truth?

Hi! I'm new here. Really need help. Please vote My articles. I vote for yours. They are very good. Thank You!

why did your rep went down from the starting point 25?

Because he's a spammer who has been flagged.

😂😂 what a reply, well said! Regarding your study, i'm very interested into someone doing a research on this guy. He's everywhere on the platform and has started a crazy war that still last. Checking some of his predictions were not accurate at all...keep us posted with what your results are. thanks!

You are responding to the wrong person. This comment makes no fucking sense.

He was replying to me. I guess it was just an ironical way from @santana33 to let spammers know they are spamming, no?

Honest question though :) hehe
