What can I buy with HEX? When will I be able to buy something tangible with HEX?
Is my whole investment in HEX based on the idea that someone will buy it for more later?

You dont see a problem with this? I am 100% curious behind the thought process of a project with 1 man controlling this much.

that doesn't seem decentralized or trustless, two mainstays of the crypto realm.
I get that Richard has no incentive to rug pull the whole works from a game theory perspective, just tough for me to swallow as an investor and HODLer in this space.

So you’re only buying crypto that you can buy cloths, coffee, etc with?
Or are you asking if you can sell it and get fiat? Bc yes you can. Just like any other crypto.

So honestly, do you ask this same question with all your investments? Bc this applies to everything.
You buy btc based on the idea that someone will buy more later? Eth? Gold?

Also, I stated above. Why would a billionaire dump on his own product? He'll buy way before he'll ever sell. The OA has proven to be extremely benevolent. Unstaked to allow higher apy's for the staker class. He's diluting himself when he doesn't have to.

I guess I’m not buying into it then. I like tangible things. My investments typically are in companies or strategies that actually make profits based on some work.
People can spend bitcoin. People can even spend shiba in a game. If there is no known use or perceived future use then I have no use for it.

It's trustless. More transparent than anything else. Have you seen the front ends built? You know future supply. It's charted out for everyone. You know the dumpers, traders, holders. Everything is there to see.

Right, but the Bitcoin network itself is decentralized and trustless unlike HEX (from my understanding). I don't have to worry if anyone if a bad actor because they won't be able to break the protocol. If a whale dumps, sure if lowers the price, but it doesn't break trust in the network.
HEX is definitely not completely trustless, I have to trust Richard (which I get why you do from simple game theory arguments). What happens if Richard passes away? I now have to trust the OA is passed to someone trustworthy as well. If the OA dumps all the funds wouldn't it ruin the project?
I hope I'm not coming across as confrontational, I'm just probing.

If I buy a stock, I buy because the future growth will reflect in the stock price and or I receive dividends based on their performance. I usually only invest in things I like or think have long term staying power.
I have invested in crypto as a gambler. It’s just like going to the casino. Now if you can tell me I can spend my tokens somewhere outside the casino then it has intrinsic value to me.

So you don’t own Amazon, Tesla etc?
Think about this….when was the best time to buy BTC? When satoshi owned 99% of it.
When was the best time to buy eth? When it hit the market at Vitalik etc owned like 80% of premined eth.
When was the best time to buy Amazon? When Bezos owned 99%.
50% of a VC fund and founders of SOL still own their shares.
It’s non-sensicle to be honest

I have to trust Richar
Richard at least puts himself out there and I respect that. I'm pretty sure you invest in projects that you have no clue who's behind it.

They all go to 0. This applies to everything and every market.
ETA: Gotta run for a bit. I'll check back here as much as possible to continue the discussion.

Well BTC is POW. The network is secure and is decentralized. Its not really debatable. Even if you want to discuss "bag holders", its doesn't mean much given the security behind POW.

From what I read, it is a bit more than that.
Richard profits on the way in and when you exit. He gets half of the penalties.
In fact, he could theoretically dump everything he owns which would cause a massive slide and when you sell, your penalties go back to him.

Richard was a billionaire long before Hex. Majority of crytpo founders that dump on peoples heads are the opposite. They don't have a lot of money. Richard doesn't need Hex to survive. Ever. He has enough ETH/BTC/USDC to live an unbelievable life. So honestly, he'd buy Hex and pump the price way before he'd ever sell it.
This is where you lose me. If you can make money on this great. Don't act like this dude is crypto Ghandi or something. I don't trust anyone IRL or especially the crypto space.

I’d be more worried about what would happen to eth if Vitalik dies. Bc they have to continually make “updates” to eth.
There is no changing the code of hex. It is a completed project.

But Satoshi's bag was diluted within the 1st year and even more so now.
Richard will maintain his share. He can even sell it all and it will eventual go back to 45%+ based on the code. He would never have to buy another coin after selling it all and he will get 50% of all penalties etc.
Everything above you mentioned does not work like that.
