Or did they keep the useful information as secrets to themselves?
This is a matter for thought for me too.
And it should be asked about your colleagues and "friends" in addition to the topic.
They push their promotional content, disguised advertisements and you follow them and read their content.
Did they inform you when Byteball was given for free?
Did they warn you that bittrex was about to become an exclusive club?
Who was told by anyone about bitcoin mining when it was very profitable?
Who was told by anyone that any mining of a decent currency was still very profitable?
Are these people worthy of our following?
Edit:
I found a good guy here:
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@blockchainbob/byteball-airdrop-for-btc-holders-tonight
And I discovered that I just missed the last tiny bit of opportunity less than 24 hours before posting about it and a few hours after initially posting about it.
Due to STEEM's current 7 days feature, in the future I may have to add additions to the good guys exceptions list in the comments section, or maybe even in new thread or threads for such exceptions list purpose.
