It's all deaded.

People do not cared. 

^ lol.  Are you retarded?

^ True.  And Buterin and Co. would love a pump.  They need to dump more ETH to fund whatever it is their doing.

And "helped redefine how poverty is measured"??  Did he make an economic model on how the elite take from the poor?  Because that would be really interesting. 

Lol Economists.

Remember these two?  Myron Scholes and Robert Merto.  They won a Nobel price on 1994 based on some derivatives model idea they had then started a hedge fund based on that model.  They failed miserably and lost billions.

What are you talking about?  They made quite a bit of BTC with their funding model, both in the presale and the listing at the exchanges...  And outside the SEC's clutches too.  They did well for themselves.

But they should have sought for another spending model though.

But Emperor Palpatine owned Ripple so they don't got nothing on him.

Yeah, Jabba the Hutt owned the biggest mining centers.

Yeah..  They hurried and made a 'frontier release' before all the hype fades away.  It really says a lot on what (I think) Buterin and co.'s projection for the crypto scene in the coming months.  And it's not good.  We could be in for another year of nothing again on the first half of 2016.

Cool. Thanks.

^ I find that hard to accept.

^ Best comment from a NXT supporter imo.

I have nothing against NXT but I've noticed its supporters love to attack Bitshres when what they really should be doing is focusing on advertising their own platform.  NXT market cap is falling while the Bitshares people are busy making partnerships and are working hard on developing a new (and hopefully good) product.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think the NXT supporters are butthurt.  Sorry for the direct honesty guys...

This will go down some more.  Buterin and co. will be needing some funds to continue development.

^ But what's really fucked up is... Is society a pyramid scheme?

Oh k.  Make sure to buy a whole bunch.

"Fuck Bitcoin, I want to make money."

^ That is such a dumb comment from an idiot.  Comment should be "Go cryptocurrencies, so we could make lots of money."

The success of the whole scene (minus the scams, P&D's) is good for everybody longterm at different levels, not just profit.

^ LOL.

Anyway, I would like for something like OP said to happen, but I'm still hopeful that the scene will evolve on it's own and become a better ecosystem somehow.

edit:  I know OP isn't the only one who's starting to think about it, I do too.  And for sure many people in the community are as well...  I guess it's evolving.

And there's a possibility he's the guy who shorted Monero as mentioned in the speculation thread.

Looks good, looks good...  I hope you guys roll out a fine product.

He's trying to show the people what's up with Monero.  Which, doesn't really look all well and rosy right now.  It is actually a good short imho.
