An Apology (of sorts)

Where to begin … first of all I am very new to steemit. I opened an account about 3 months ago and noticed the name dougpolk was not taken. I was/am a big Doug Polk fan so I thought nothing of just taking that name. dougpolkcrytpo is the real one. About a week ago I thought why not refer some people who are not already on Binance and KuCoin to them. That is where I make most of my money. I really am one of the top 1% of traders by volume on those sites, and placing near the top in both of their trading competitions has been helping me survive, especially in this bear market.

However, I digress. I seem to have angered/upset some people. Either by pretending to be the real Doug Polk, or by "spamming" too much/or to them directly. So yeah I actually am sorry about that. I'm still learning how things work on steem, and didn't think that what I was doing was hurting anybody, at least that wasn't my intention. I really was just trying to get people to sign up, and as far as I know I was the only person offering money back to people.

To anyone saying that I'm taking money from people well you're wrong! I've had 3 people click on the KuCoin referral link but nobody has started trading yet. Also (and more importantly) it doesn't cost anybody anything. I dn't see anything wrong about having a win win situation at all.

And, I believe that we live in a free world, and that means freedom of speech and expression. I won't "spam" individuals, and again sorry if I upset anyone (not my intention), but I will keep posting for anybody that wants to read my posts they can. I forgive everybody that was angry and upset at me, since it was I that angered and upset them, and I hope you can all do the same for me. I really am just trying to help out some people, and I'll try to do that in a better way in the future. If you still don't believe me, then please answer how am I hurting anybody? If you're still angry then maybe you should take a look at yourself first before judging others. I have never written a mean post on here.

Sorry if this apology came across as not being sincere, it is, but I just want to get my point across accurately. If you've read this far then I thank you. Everybody is, of course, entitled to their own opinions. To those that were gracious in telling me the errors of my ways, a big thank you! I have taken your comments to heart. I may soon just end up not posting on here at all if that ends up being for the greater good. Thank you,

Richard (real name)
