Which tokens are we talking about?
The HELIOS tokens? I still have them all but they are not so useful now. Before I could use 10 HELIOS and get the helios.voter to upvote any good post worth about $2 HBD. However, HELIOS discontinued the service so now I have 10,000 tokens which don't really have a use. That is very sad.
As for the GLD tokens and GLS tokens? Those are my own tokens and they are very much alive and useful. GLD is 100:1 HBD, and GLS is 1:1 for HIVE. Both are exchangeable on my website.
Did I really lose everything? No. But the HELIOS went in value from about $2,000 HBD to ... probably worthless. Makes me sad.
However as you said in your article.
It not whether you succeed or fail, its whether you pick yourself up after a failure and continue on. So, I'm picking myself up and will continue working to get the GLD game world working and the GLD stock market (sort of) working.
The bigger problem is that the $2,000 from HELIOS was meant to distribute to members and support the community. I'm fine as I was never going to keep the money for myself, but I'm sad that I can't distribute it to potential community members as I had hoped.
The game I'm making will still pay out money but very much reduced. :(
