Anatomy of a scam:
1) High early emission rate creates instamine (for this to be a scam, it must be intentional)
2) Dev fixes the emission rate
3) Dev begins hyping his coin like crazy
4) Dev sells at maximum hype
5) Dev abandons coin to start other project
Anatomy of a feature:
1) High early emission rate creates instamine (he was rushed and excited, and screwed up the code by accident)
2) Dev fixes the emission rate
3) Dev never hypes his coin; instead, begins building features like Darksend
4) Dev quits his job to work full time on the project; commits to at least two years of full time work
5) Dev buys as many coins as he can
6) Price goes from one cent to ten dollars...dev never sells
7) Price crashes, dev keeps adding features, unconcerned about short-term price
Price rises again, back up to $6 in March 2015; dev still doesn't sell
9) Price falls again, dev continues coding, continues holding his coins, Monero trolls call him a scammer
10) Eighteen months later, dev still has no day job and is hard at work (full time) on the project; innovation continues at an even more rapid rate
Which one describes Dash?
tl;dr If Evan was a scammer, he'd be the worst scammer in history. He missed an opportunity to sell his supposedly-massive holdings at $12 per coin in May 2014, missed an opportunity to sell this supposedly-massive supply of coins at $6 per coin in March 2015, and continues pouring more and more work into the project. Do you know what kind of person this describes? It describes an entrepreneur who holds his stake until long after the project comes to fruition. It sounds like Mark Zuckerburg, who had the opportunity to sell his stake in Facebook for a hundred million, then a billion, then several billion...instead he HODL'd and is worth tens of billions.
Yup....trolls like icebreaker & Adamwhite are the scammers!!!! They are the ones misleading people about what great work is being done here....they should read the list above and take note...
