It could also be that the OP is just doing some reverse trolling. So be aware of that.
The XMR community seems to favor diversity since we have different threads for speculation, support, miners/mining,imporvement etc.
Thought an unmoderated speculation thread where we can discuss the needed features for XMR to become the next Bitcoin can't hurt. I feel that self-moderation within Bitcointalk isn't the way to go.
I completely agree with dEBRUYNE. In fact, I'm fairly convinced that this is just the latest installment by the Creative Troll(tm).
With regards to this forum, and speaking about thread moderation specifically: free speech = free trolling. There are absolutely no complaints about the other speculation thread, yet you created a new forum account for this specific purpose. Sure ... I've been around long enough to know what this is about.
Repeating:
Newcomers, please just stick to our ANN or speculation thread

Makes no sense to open up an additional thread.
