Riccardo Spagni

Place of residence: Plettenberg Bay, South Africa

Activity: cryptocurrency developer Monero

He is the creator of a unique project Monero, who was able to reach heights, despite the lack of funding and a crowdsale. Promotes cryptocurrency anonymity, calling your project a true digital cash.

“Most altcoins are a regular scam. I do not want to be a hypocrite and therefore I say that all this is disgusting. We are talking about obvious fraud in the case of a preminine or instamine; there are also attempts to hide the premine from the researchers of the blocs. All this is aimed at one thing - the enrichment of the creators of such altcoins. ”

The behavior of Ricardo, who likes to plant discussions on the Internet under the nickname Fluffypony, is often criticized by Monero users. So, the reason for one of the most striking scandals was the publication of data about one supposedly preparing project, which gave an impetus to the price increase. The ensuing announcement that “it was a joke” brought down the price, thereby disappointing many users.
