Monero might have blown past Bitcoin had it done the exact opposite by now.
The name of the game is adoption.
What are barriers ? the pubic & govts + business / markets.
Had they done the opposite of anonymity.. they may have surpassed the adoption of Bitcoin already.

Think about it people.. just imagine WORKING WITH governments & banks.
Making a coin that falls in line with compliance laws across the globe.
Would have embraced the markets and business and then in turn pull in the user base.
Whether you all like it or not.. we already have financial laws right NOW !
Such as the Florida Anti-Money-Laundering laws that have been tripped up in Crypto many times.

We need to be realistic.. not ONLY dreamers.

I have said endlessly for 3 years regulations do not have to be bad.
They probably will be if we make no effort to have our input into their creation though.
We CAN make a digital currency that complies with some fair / common sense laws.
I think that would be reasonable.

I have NEVER advocated the govt's implementing their regulations on us against our will
..if they are bad or unfair.
I have simply said lots ..let's all work with them together to find a good compromise.

Creating an ANON coin optional or not would be a mistake.
This is the opposite direction we should be moving in or at least a foolish pursuit.

All i ever asked is people to consider it all sincerely.. give it careful consideration.

And yeah i know FIAT is sort of like ANON too.. i get it
But Digital coins are not Fiat LOL

I was going to stay out of this one but

Scroll down.. see SunnyKing ?

I have long said i liked his PPC & XPM coins AND that it's a pity he keeps his topics locked.
I think that hurts his adoption.. unlock it guy !
Would be nice for people to respond to his weekly updates etc.
Or if Sunny talked to the common folk..
It will of course end up on page 2 FAST !
See what i mean people ?

And we all know i am all in with JPC 
Jackpotcoin is going to MOON anytime !

Just kidding.. the only coin i approve is "Tenebrix" the others are scams !

The accusation the other day launched buddy into a campaign like we never seen before WOW.

I did not realize at the time what was playing put eh
I was on IRC on #Cryptsy Freenode (like now)
..
I was surprised to see him bolt over to the channel asap
i guess after From-Above said he was Dave.. like RIGHT AWAY !
I had not even seen the comments yet that he was being accused of being Dave .here.

So get this..
He shows up and right away PM's me saying hey..
Then starts asking me if i am Dave Latapie LOL
And he's all like are you sure ?
Uhhmm yeah i kept telling him LOL

Here read the whole entire 48kb private IRC chat we had people.
Hopefully this clears it all up
http://pastebin.com/1ZqsLNYP

i said that looong ago ..i was suspicious based on weak proof.
i also said he is not Dave yesterday but you missed that .. no wait you didn't..
i know i talked to you on the other topic.. so what are you trying to pull necro-quoting me ?

Making such a big stink just raises more questions.

"Mr. I know Dave" is posting that same retort around word for word too
And i never seem him talking before.. weird.

That is god damn retarded.
..that is like saying as long as you run a Pyramid scheme correctly it's ok.

and thanks From Above  

I am not killing "this technology" at all.. i am helping it.
I have told you all for 3 years regulations are coming and i was proven correct lots.
I warned you guys of you stupid behavior and you plow on with it ..still.
Anon coins ?
Will do nothing but attract hackers and worse the US Fed's etc..
It's a retarded gimmick tacked onto Litecoin etc.

Need an example of how fucking right i am buddy boy ?
Cryptsy.
Users flagged, lied to, and reported to the US Fed's for money law violations.
I AM right ..and.. i have more examples too.

I told you guys 3 years ago you should think about getting involved with
the reg's being made announced and you all scoffed at me got lippy insulted me
then said who cares they can't do anything and no reg's are coming.
WRONG RETARDS.

I TOLD YOU SO.

I WANT anarchy or some shit ?
Noooope.. you just are too stupid to get what i am after that is all.
You do not possess the level of intelligence needed to "get it"

dumb

stubborn

mouthy

greedy

AKA: Crypto.

What a crock of shit.
Before you came here SHIT LOADS of dev's make coins with no Million dollar advance.
Further more what in the fuck are they "Developing" ?
NOTHING but 1,000's of pointless shitcoins traded on exchanges.
0 fucking innovation period .

Minecache, You are as usual a FRAUD !

You are only saying that to prop up your Ethereum scam your helping run too.

You guys keep *trying* to make excuses for ICO's and you have always failed miserably.
This topic is no different.

Based on the Poll results so far i think half of you are greedy morons.

Yup it's true all that FUD you guys whine about could effectively neutralized.
In reality you could simply run around with a big eraser and have it all gone
..preventing most of it from coming back.

And how is obvious.. the answer is right in front of your nose.

Instead ?
You all do the complete opposite and fuel the fire actually causing more FUD !

It's kind of sad really.
Because obviously people are not smart enough to get it.

I even dropped a subtle hint above on how but i bet no one will pick up on it.
Sorry but crypto users are really honestly not very bright at all.
And ooooh sooo stubborn ..and super cocky / opinionated.

Next time you are arguing for 139 pages about Ring Signatures etc crying "paid" FUD
..remember what i said here

Well that is a fair perception if you know him.

If you talk to him though.. tell him to consider providing more info on this story.
It would defuse any drama hat it started some what.

Although Dash guys may still want to have a go at Monero about this.
I would have less to bite into LOL

I think the people in Crypto do in fact deserve a proper explanation.
So if Latapie wants to provide more info he can if he wants send me a PM
and i will try and post on the forum what he wants said.
I am not hearing trying to badger him to pick on him.

If he ran into problems then fine i get it.
But when you go in silence we are all left to assume things or guess etc.
Sorry but that is just how it is.. nothing personal.

SO far he did comment on this topic and CHOSE to not saying ANYTHING !

People..
I am not the one who posted apologies online then would not say why.
And i am trying to say here Dave don't be scared just give us some more info guy.
I get the impression he is worried about being attacked or something if he speaks up.

I keep forgetting about that.. i did not get PM spam about ETH.
I don't do Redditt ..or even know how to spell it LOL

And i agree with the price theory too.. makes sense.
I just can't grasp how in gods name it even got $20 a coin for ICO DAPSS "Fuel Tokens" WTF ?
They should not have been worth more than one dollar !

That would not make Monero even 1% more legit in any way ever.
This topic is not called "Do supporters of Dash give Monero guys a hard time ?"
That is irrelevant..

Many of us could not care less about Dash sorry so your Monero is an innocent angel..
..being FUD'd by Paid Dash guys routine *again* is a load of whiny stupid bullshit.
And you know it so cut the crap already.. grow up.

Quit spewing stupid retorts here for the "audience" in the hopes of swaying their perception.
..it's blatant 

Like fuck look at the games being played here NON STOP.

I just said..


Your reply with..


That is retarded .

@btc_zero_sum
Put it in a Hallmark card & sell it..
Bumper Stickers ?
Something to sell along with the Monero "Hoodies" in the Merch-Store

So what is wrong with that ?
Bill Gates has been a member of the Church of Satan for decades.. he turned out alright !
Plenty of famous members.. Sammy Davis Jr ..Google it if you don't believe me.

@OP
Yup.. agreed something is not right.
It should have had a far larger sustained drop in price i think.

fuck sake's how did "fuel tokens" asset smart contract bullshit ICO coins get to $20 each ?
Like WTF people ?  

@BTCwriter
Agreed !
I thought that when i seen it's scammy launch + Coindesk advertising in 2014.

more than that right now..
and yesterday 0.
~ weird ?

I thought this topic was going to be about how many TOTAL.
I was going to say.. I don't know, i can't count that high  

@BitMaxz
YES i think so.

Relevant & HOT post !

I am moving to Latvia NOW !

..so why did all the Monero Shills run off ? Were they arrested for Tax Fraud ?

Was that a retort ?

ICO is the best way for legit developers to raise money ?

"Legit dev's" ?
What cowards hiding + name changing with fake names on a scam web site is legit now ? LOL

News flash.. they don't need any money.. they WANT money. (Big Difference)
Further more the procedure used to do all these 100's or 1,000's of ICO's is scammy by design.
LOTS of people have been burned !
..kinda funny you never brought that up huh ? LOL

build cool innovations ?
Show me ONE "cool innovation" out of THOUSANDS OF COINS !
You can't .
There for their need want of money looks far more scammy.

OP just has problems with ICO because he cant use his free mining gear to mine the coin for nothing and then dump on anyone willing to pay anything for it ?

Problems ?
I have none.. i win at this shit while you're all scammy profiteers with no class or integrity.

Oh and which coin is it that people are willing to pay "Anything" for again ?
Because i will buy THAT one i think ROFL

..trade tips bro ..help a brutha out  

WOW dropping science on us son ?

..how is it every noob that comes here is a Financial expert on day 1 ?

There is no precedent for your assertions.
You are just making shit up.

Is that your way of telling us you are a Satanist ?

hey pothead.. your spamming.. lay off the drugs mmmk ?
