Dear Bro:.,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.
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…
With a triple fraternal embrace,
on behalf the 1717 Token Initiative
