So it has no advantages over Litecoin, it came out just from pure greed, from desire of being an early adopter.
Don't you get it? You're literally witnessing the next generation of entrepreneurs invent themselves. These guys are putting their time, energy, and money into building a community, pushing adoption, providing leadership, increasing effectiveness, and doing everything they can to make it successful. As a result the value of their stock is increasing. What they've done is figured out a new way to start a new form of business while bypassing the existing bureaucracy and governance, and the free market of which you are a voting member will decide their fate. This is the early days of the internet all over again where anyone with a bright idea can make a quick buck, but those with the patience and skills to see it through the long haul will be rewarded on the long tail... and good on them for doing so I say. Capitalism wrenched from the hands of the elite and put back in control of the people, by the people, and for the people. All business owners are early adopters. Labeling that as "pure greed" is shortsighted to say the least. I say what better way to make a dollar?
I agree with what you said. But it applies to every coin [even BTC]. My main point was untackled:
It has no advantages over Litecoin.And also, as some of people seen on BTC-E,
there is a guy who has 500k FTC. If I was him [or just had a large amount of FTC], I'd also support the currency with all of my might before dumping.
Good luck with your great coin, build from pure marketing. [It has a great logo, btw.]
Thank you for acknowledging it's a great coin, we have a strong community putting their blood, sweat and tears into it. I also appreciate the comment on the logo, again, built from community effort. It's amazing how so many people have a difficult time understanding what made different Linux implementations successful. How could an OS make money when it was given away for free? How could it make money with very few differences?
Support makes all the difference, community makes all the difference, merchants that eventually attach to the coin makes all the difference, availability of funding makes all the differences, good documentation on mining makes all the difference, volunteers that are collecting community feedback makes all the difference and programmers willing to experiment with new features on testcoins makes all the difference. Bitcointalk snipes don't make much difference.
I feel the teen angst... maybe I'm just too old to care. We're not going anywhere, period. Let go of the sarcasm and spend a few minutes in our community for a change.
You might feel a bit better and far less bitter.
I am impressed, it's over doubled the hash rates.
