The coin is bound by the code that makes up its codebase. As I will not be auditing all of the code there is going to be some trust in the developers involved here. David Latapie's state socialist views are a stain on this project, and he cannot be trusted around the codebase of an anonymous coin. If he is not involved in actual coding then he would be even easier to replace. I believe I have provided enough evidence that I am not a "troll", but it doesn't really matter. I haven't and won't mention any other coins in this thread (and haven't posted in any others).
In the end you owe me no satisfaction. I have and can drop the price....but only a little bit and the coin will recover or keep falling based on nothing related to me. I still hold significant amounts and will buy no more.....so I have no interest in trolling or creating that dread FUD. I am looking for a good exit, and will make sure I do so while turning a nice BTC profit.
If I remember correctly, David Latapie is not a developer anyhow, so I don't really know what your concern is.
More than anything, it looks like you're just looking for yet another angle to attack monero and spread FUD. Don't be surprised that your objections are met with a little hostility, because frankly we're all getting a bit tired of people coming up with stupid excuses as to why this remarkably fair coin is somehow untrustworthy.
The term "developer" is a bit ambiguous which is why we usually prefer core team, but often the term developer or dev is used to describe whoever it is that owns or manages a coin project. David is part of the core team but he is not a developer in the sense of software developer or programmer that is true. He is more involved with business development, branding and strategy, writing, managing some of the volunteers, plus other non-programmming tasks as they come along.
I agree the FUD and general negativity isn't really helpful, at least once you have made your point. If you don't like the coin, just move on, preferably quietly. There are hundreds of others to choose from.
