I believe the original intent was to be a stakeholder with all that comes with it, and not an investor. If you want to be an investor then do your short sighted day trading. If you want to actually build something, stay put, ignore prices, and do something of high quality. We can shake loose the weak hands. If you have confidence in the devs and what they are doing you won't care about the price. The first coin across the finish line that has the same feature set as nem doesn't mean it wins at all. Rushing your product can be bad. One bad security flaw and it destroys the coin forever. You want to properly test for as much as you can, and it sounds like our guys are.
An investor is a stakeholder. Its not a matter of an opinion or semantics.
The term you mean to apply to the guy you quoted is "day trader," which cannot be confused with an "investor."
Someone who holds their stocks overnight is no longer a day trader but a "short-term investor." This is the terminology that has existed for decades and its not really open to renegotiation.
Are you Utopian Future again? (for the fourth time in this thread lol). He was hung up and insistent on this nonexistent linguistical demarcation as well.
People November is for official launch. BETA = distribution of coins = Septemeber.
At least that's the plan and always has been.
You have to remember that even Bitcoin is technically still in Beta.
Thank you Pat for making this clear.
