1717 Masonic Commemorative Token (MCT)

[1717Token (MCT)]

It’s another altcoin or bitcoin. I wasn’t sold on it when it first started happening, definitely not sold on someone approaching Masons with a “specific version” made just for us.

Dear Bro:.,
you are absolutely right! We shouldn't start the conversation that way anyways! But on the other hand, how did we come to the conclusion that "someone is approaching Masons...etc etc". We only offered a gift for the few curious and pioneering minds who “dared” to ask for a commemorative token by PM.

All the rest is a useless chat amongst respectful brothers that spend their time on a forum. This is not our intention and we do not have time for this.

We are sorry!

We know that creating a “think tank” such as the 1717tok:. Initiative we were entering uncharted territory and you as well are invited to test the grounds and explore. There is a lot of danger, there may still be undiscovered traps, there may be ravaging bands of pirates waiting to attack you, but there also is vast room for opportunities, excitement and evolution.

In order for one to understand, he’ll need some basic knowledge about blockchain, cryptocurrecies AND he'll need to TRUST HIS OWN DECISIONS to do or not to do something. Trust, Thinking, Fast and Accurate Response are Critical for the pioneering era of blockchain. We know that in the early phase of establishing any new idea there is plenty of questioning and doubt. For now we are only addressing the Early Adopters and the Pioneers.

If you are not comfortable with it, we strongly advise you to step back, watch from a distance for a while and wait until we will gradually build MCT's reputation among Freemasons, Collectors and Innovation Supporters.

We will also step back from this nonproductive conversation. Talking about blockchain legitimacy w/o basic knowledge is like having a theoretical debate about the book of Enoch with your pub colleagues. They may be your friends or relatives but they are not initiated.

More Trust will be gradually available as the Opportunity of claiming an award will fade. Remember, there are no "done for you solutions" yet and for everything you do here, you are mostly on your own as we were when we had this disruptive idea.

We are aware of the danger that we would be extremely questionable and unsanctioned both in the blockchain community and from our brethren but IS THIS A REASON FOR A MASON TO STEP BACK? Or is it a reason TO STEP UP? (Just food for thought)

For the last 3 centuries Freemasons have lead exploration, frontier expansion of any kind, pioneering, groundbreaking changes and historical shifts and we DO NOT FIND A SINGLE REASON TO CHANGE THIS NOBLE HABIT & TRADITION. We may perish under the pressure of the tasks and the fights we need to give to post a Freemasonry flag on the Decentralized era of blockchain. Maybe we are chasing Chimeras or we seek an unidentified digital Holy Grail, but at least we seek something.

Please excuse us if we rudely disrupted the lake mirroring throwing stones without a warning…

We do appreciate your time spend on this thread and we thank you for all of your responses, the positive and the negative even the childish…

I don't know what to make of it, but it lost me when it copy and pasted the same response to ripcord and myself.

Yes this is embarrassing. We are sorry. But frankly, we never thought we had anyone at all
Have a good day bro:.

You lost me at cryptocurrency. Sounds extremely questionable and unsanctioned. My apologies if its not, but my first impression is caveat emptor.

Oh! Yes, we are aware of the danger that we would be extremely questionable and unsanctioned but IS THIS A REASON FOR A MASON TO STEP BACK?
We try our best not to seem like a caveat emptor since we are not. I guess we have a long road to walk. Anyway thank you for your kindness. There is no need for apologies. You have been helpfull beyond measure.
Have a great day!

Sounds like the perfect reason to step back, for a mason or anyone else.

Exactly! Thank you! It has been a pleasure.

How/why would anyone "collect" something that's not even real.

As for your "think tank" comment.....I'm all for something like that, but none of you comments on here make any sense. Also our discussions on here are anything but useless

You are absolutely right about the discussion! Lagash will contact you via PM. Thank you!

ABSOLUTELY!!! I've learned more on this forum than in lodge!

Perhaps if you introduced yourself as a human, a Brother, and not just a foreign mystery with a VR name, asking us to buy into a new currency originating in Singapore, we might be more willing to discuss it. But few people here seem to use (or even understand) altcoins and fewer are willing to blindly join. You have to understand how many scams are sent to Masons every day.

Hello Bro:. This is Lagash from 1717tok:.
You are absolutely right. It was an embarrassing and completely inappropriate way to introduce ourselves.
But that’s it! What has been done can’t be undone.
I guess that you know as well that working with a team and cooperating with people of good will that may miss some details and protocols, it may sometimes go wrong. And it did! It doesn’t matter if it has already been stated that “We shouldn't start the conversation that way anyways!” Even if we could delete the whole thread and restart properly, it would be rude and inappropriate also. Therefore as we have stated “Mea Culpa” in all the possible ways, we would like to ask (again) if anyone would like to have a Complementary Gift MCT token. We have allocated a limited number of tokens for the pioneering curious few that “dare” to ask for it.
(It is FREE for God's sake!)

If any brother feels threatened I do not put any blame on him. Not every stone fits the same. Just sit back and enjoy the show. We may fall or we may rise but it’s a part of history anyway. Even this thread! And you my brethren have been a part of it. One fine day we will have a laugh about it.
But please gentlemen, enough with the criticism. I am too old for that...

Have a good morning/day/evening/night.
