Title: Dev teams ranked by how much they promote higher prices for their coins
Post by: jehst on February 16, 2016, 01:24:11 AM
Examples:

Bitcoin. Grade: F

Satoshi disappeared. Ominously left 1 million coins sitting there that the market will always be uneasy about. Mike Hearn ragequit and publicly denounced bitcoin. Peter Todd made a public post about how he was selling 50% of his bitcoins due to GHash.io having too much hashing power. Greg Maxwell constantly gets into catty public fights with random trolls on various forums. These may just a few bad apples but they are loud and visible enough to be horrible for the price.

Litecoin. Grade: D

Coblee says "Litecoin doesn't need development." You rarely hear anything from him. He couldn't get LTC on Coinbase or Gox. Although Coblee doesn't actively shit on LTC the way that bitcoin devs do, he gets a D for being an absentee dev who doesn't do much to attract investment. LTC is almost never in the news for any positive reasons.
Ethereum. Grade: A

Awesome job generating hype starting with the very successful presale (which is actually a pre-mine). Vitalik is constantly doing interviews and making media appearances and interfacing with 3rd parties who want to use Ethereum which has created an awesome speculative buzz.



EDIT: I meant for this to be posted to the Altcoin Discussion
could a mod please move this?

Does your post belong in this section? I'm not "reporting it", but don't be surprised if it gets moved.
You are not trying to promote Ethereum, are you?   :P

What kind of governance do you think is best for a coin's price? Democracy?
