Lets cut to the chase, a huge flood of headlines have surfaced over the last few days that I am not even sure where to begin with and so want to ask you all, if you are aware of a major event that took place over the last weekend ? What has happened recently is probably the biggest pre-fork news which should not go unnoticed.
You all must have heard the story about SmartCash being donated to an influential popular guy who wanted to or declined the offer earlier. Unless you've been living under a rock, you'd know about how Tone Vays, who is a Bitcoin maximalist, an altcoin hater, detractor and who was very strict about his tipping policy for long time, refused to accept the Σ 50,000 SMART donation sent to him earlier (~~~ embed:910494449855287297). The reason if you may ask is because he said he only accepts donation in Bitcoin and Litecoin and was waiting for Monero to provide him with a user-friendly wallet. One can check out the whole story, here : twitter metadata:VG9uZVZheXN8fGh0dHBzOi8vdHdpdHRlci5jb20vVG9uZVZheXMvc3RhdHVzLzkxMDQ5NDQ0OTg1NTI4NzI5NykuIFRoZSByZWFzb24gaWYgeW91IG1heSBhc2sgaXMgYmVjYXVzZSBoZSBzYWlkIGhlIG9ubHkgYWNjZXB0cyBkb25hdGlvbiBpbiBCaXRjb2luIGFuZCBMaXRlY29pbiBhbmQgd2FzIHdhaXRpbmcgZm9yIE1vbmVybyB0byBwcm92aWRlIGhpbSB3aXRoIGEgdXNlci1mcmllbmRseSB3YWxsZXQuIE9uZSBjYW4gY2hlY2sgb3V0IHRoZSB3aG9sZSBzdG9yeSwgaGVyZSA6fA== ~~~

Breaking News :: Following SmartCash's recent bull run Tone Vays is tempted to cash out his Σ SMARTS Σ.
It seems like that common sense is not an endangered species at all and stupidity has not completely taken over the world, yet. In a surprising turn of events Tone Vays has decided not to just sit on the fence and has jumped on the SmartCash bandwagon.
Despite being a bitcoin maximalist he has now accepted the SmartCash donation that was sent to him late September 2017.
He was very strict about his tipping policy for long time, he refused to accept any altcoin tips until Bitcoin transactions became too expensive and he started accepting Litecoin which he has previously called a scam, until recently when he went ahead and accepted donation in SmartCash making it the third cryptocurrency on his donation list. Bitcoin and Litecoin were the only coins he accepted so far but now that he has claimed SmartCash tip that's no longer the case.
Smartcash tips/donations can be sent and claimed by people that didn't even think of accepting SMART in the first place.
He may have noticed the positive development & growth in the value of SmartCash over the past few weeks. Whatever the reason may be, one thing is obvious that people such as Tone Vays are smart enough to see through the value of a cryptocurrency clearly and Smartcash tips/donations can be sent & claimed by people that didn't even think of accepting SMART in the first place.
