1. Bill Gates pre-mined Microsoft stocks.
2. Mark Zuckerberg pre-mined Facebook stocks.
3. Vitalik pre-mined Ethereum.
4. Crypto-coins are both digital gold and a stock.
I believe that creators need to have financial incentives to make their projects a success.
EDIT: Here a guy that wrote an article that Bitcoin is not a digital gold, but more like a company stock. Good read !

EDIT2: Even better would be, for the investors, is if creator pre-mines his coins, but uses a 5-year TIME LOCK transaction, so he can't dump it on the market. This will provide a long-term motivation to improve his creation. Pump-and-Dump out; Innovation in !

The big difference is that Evan claims Dash wasn't premined and also that he didn't mean to instamine it.
Bill Gates, Mark Z, etc all made it clear that what they would be selling would be "premined"
Evan didn't do that at the beginning...
he pretended it wasn't a problem...
if it isn't a problem then I guess that news will go away eventually right?
It has been 3+ years so far...but eventually right ? lol
