You obviously don't read so well. This is not trolling. This is a coordinated exist strategy and its aimed at finding easy to persuade people in the DASH thread and making them future Monero bag holders when they all exist.
Placing large sums of any form of money in alpha software and expecting it to be secure is just plain foolish.
If you do so then ask yourself, am I feeling lucky?.
I agree with you, and I'm not being misquoted here.
But let's be real here, the entire market cap is like 5.5 million USD. That just isn't "large sums of money" when divided among a large number of participants. Its a very low speculative value fairly consistent with the risks involved balanced against what might be significant upside if the risks can be overcome.
Of course what is large to one person is small to another. Certainly no one should invest more than he or she can afford to lose in any speculative investment, and that includes not only any altcoin but any cryptocoin at all, in my view.
Wow, Smooth agrees that keeping any large sum of value is not safe because xmr is alpha. I was holding 540 xmr but will dump it asap. I got to admit I never expected this open admission from the xmr team. In the same post bcx talks about other exploits which again smooth doe not dispute.
If you buy it you are making a bet on whether or not that happens. Simple as that. You don't buy XMR because you want to use it to buy a pack of gum at your local convenience store. It's 100% speculative. Decide how you want to bet, and bet, or don't bet.
The Official developer view on Monero (and why they don't spend any time on developing anymore and spend their time trolling)
3 Point Exit Plan
1. Pump the price
Go to DASH thread and recruit suckers by trolling
2. Push and push Monero, while keeping the official view fairly close guarded
3. Dump into the suckers
