I was there at the VERY start I watched it unfold in real time. There is nothing anyone can do to convince me that what i witnessed in real time did not happen. There was no mistake, there was no accident.
No one is trying to convice a fool.
Here is a different opinion
I was actually there the second that XCoin(Darkcoin/Dash) was launched (the thread with 0 reads popped up before my eyes) and never even once had the impression it was being launched in a fraudulent manner. The Dash folks have developed a lot of interesting stuff since then and seem to continue to do so
...no matter the innovation, or evans efforts now it deserves to be held back hard because of that FACT. If it can grow from here I would be shocked. It is not a bad coin from a tech standpoint but it is a coin that will be held back forever due to the bad decisions and actions at the start.
That "held back" is funny as hell. Look at what happens to many crypto projects, compare them to Dash and tell me what you see.
And tell me where Dash would be if its back wasn't held. You can say in market valuation, adoption or whatever criteria you assume would fit.
It grows since 2 years and it's going better than ever and much better than other projects.
You look shocked now btw.
A fool? is that all you have? are all the other people that vote dash is a scam based upon the black and white evidence that it is a scam...are they all fools too? only you and the dashers are not fools?
I think it was around 7-10 bucks when i first broke this scam to the main board. So I see no major rise in my dash tokens value since then. Perhaps I should have cashed out before mentioning it?
I see masternodes shoring up its value for now. I don't see that lasting.
Let's revisit in another 2 years and see then. To me it does not matter at all.
To be honest dash was out early with some new tech, it has constant development and could have exceeded litecoin if it had not been hampered by being a scam. That is my opinion.
Again these diversionary questions are irrelevant to the fact dash was and remains a scam coin.
If I think it was held back and you do not that is merely opinion. The fact is was a scam is established fact. This is where the problem lies for dash. If you think that the dash scam being know and accepted as such to most is an advantage and hasn't held it back then that's fine I can't try and fix what nature has withheld. You must try only to take small steps when working through a logical process. Don't miss or jump steps else that's when trouble starts. Try thinking out aloud and explain how the dash scam being know and accepted as a scam has not held dash back at all.
Side tracking, diversions, swearing, cursing, shouting, claiming others are butthurt, jealous, cry babies, repeating non sense, accusing other coins of being scams, pointing out some innovation etc etc etc .... does nothing to change the fact dash is a scam coin.
When you realise that you can not convince the majority that black is in fact white....then you can all creep back to the dash thread and remain there in peace. Telling each other how lucky you all are to be part of dash nation and how everyone else is just butthurt and foolish for not wanting to be a part of it. Meanwhile the majority of the board will focus their efforts on non-scammy projects.
