Either way, those who purchased in weeks 1 and 2 were throwing money away and it was obvious due to the coin inflation level. If there was block rewards halving weekly I could understand, but block halving ~1 year - there was absolutely no hurry to purchase MaxCoin in those first weeks.
Maxcoin started with difficulty 0 so I would really like to know what you guys who bought early and bought a lot were thinking. Even right now, with
prices as they are, those who started mining at the very start are very much in plus and will stay so for a long time, until eventualy (and hopefuly not)
difficulty drops down to 0. Even then, if block time averages 30 seconds those who started mining at the very start would still be very much in plus
because block time average at the very start was just few seconds! All in all, even if Maxcoin was designed to not halve but stop coin generation 1 week
since start the price at the start (as it was) would still be extreme high and it is so because, as you can witness with EXC, ZET and PMC, once some coin
generation stops and coin fails to attract many users (not much use for it) not many miners actualy give a damn about coin anymore ... difficulty goes
down a lot which means you can not ask a lot of money for coins. Not many are so retarded to pay super high price (and thus make early adopters very
rich) for a coin that has no use and that means less and less people will be mining, difficulty will drop to compensate and finaly even if price starts to
match low difficulty not many would put much money into coin because of one simple fact = low difficulty means almost anyone can successfuly do
51% attack. Basically, as proven by EXC, ZET and PMC, useless coin is going nowhere and all gibberish like specs, algo, whatever are totally irrelevant.
Bitcoin is not around 600 USD because it was the first cryptocoin. It costs that much because it is by far the most useful cryptocoin.
Just to make it clear, any cryptocoin which at this point in time started with difficulty 0 or similarly ridicule low values is an early adopter scam, period.
