All the stuff being posted here makes me really happy. I know that Evan will do whatever it takes to make Dash succeed. Meanwhile the Monero devs are being held back by their bloated ethics. Ask yourselves, what kind of people generally prevail when it comes to wealth? Is Wall Street ethical? Do people get rich because they respect others and play fair?

Ouch, not a good day for XMR. Looks like ethics aren't really that important to people after all. Instamines are in, fair and equitable emission is out.

I'm a supporter of whoever will make me money. If the Monero team gets their act together in the future, I'll support Monero. It'll be hard to give up the masternode income from Dash, though.

A whore won't accept fairness or ethics in exchange for a blowjob, so what good are they?

Very possible, given how he's always trying to sell something. Seminars, videos, AI.

Armstrong is a complete nut. Probably got brain damage from the medication they gave him in prison, and now he thinks he can find patterns in markets with the aid of numerology. Pure sophistry.

Regardless of what envious bagholders of other coins say, I respect Evan more than any other person who's currently involved in cryptocurrency. He created value for others, and profited nicely as a result. His strategy was clearly superior to what the Monero team did. While the Monero devs have to solicit donations, Evan can hire top notch talent for Dash. Dash's emission is winding down, while Monero won't be under 3600 coins per day (Bitcoin's current daily emission) until early 2018!

Can't let people make a nice profit, because that wouldn't be fair! Can't reward early adopters, because later, some loser might get his panties in a twist! (Monero logic)

My first post to the nearly 5000 page Dash thread was on page 36   I've been with Dash since the beginning, and I'm very happy with what Evan did for me.

Toknormal is right. If anyone had a problem with Evan changing the emission, they could have left then and there. But most people didn't. They supported the change. So who are you to tell the community that a currency's emission can't be changed?

I'm very much pro Dash. It might sound like FUD, but I honestly believe that Dash will prevail over Monero. As determined by market cap. Plus the masternode system is just plain awesome. 10-15% yearly returns and all I have to do is pay hosting fees for a server ? Yes please.

Nothing in life is without risk. I'm of the opinion that because of the positive feedback loop generated by the masternode system, Dash can easily go to astronomical heights. I'd sell some, keep some, and even if it fails after that, I've already won.

Does he regret it? Probably not. And I'm totally okay with that. It's actually one of the reasons that I invested. Evan is a smart guy who isn't held back by having to play by the rules. Ethics are for losers. That's why I think Monero will probably founder in the long run. The team is too ethical and concerned with fairness. We all know that nice guys finish last, which is why my money's on Dash. (And yours should be too, unless you want to be an ethical indigent.)

Here's a concrete example of how ethics are holding Monero back. The Monero team keeps blathering on about how Dash is fundamentally flawed, the masternode system is ripe for attacks, etc ad infinitum. If they weren't ethical imbeciles, they'd find ways to attack Dash (or pay someone else to do it). If Dash were to collapse, Monero would likely capture the bulk of Dash's previously held market share. Then the Monero devs would have more resources with which to fund development. But nope, we can't do that, that wouldn't be fair! Instead we'll cry about how we're losing to a competitor who we consider to be fundamentally flawed! Pathetic.

If you feel Dash is flawed, do something about it instead of making threads and crying.

Hope this coincides with a dip in Bitcoin.

Put in a ton of work and investment to possibly get a reward that won't even cover the investment? Anyone with a brain will require multiple confirmations for large transactions. All you've done here is show that this attack would be a waste of time.

Changed to diametrically opposite meanings, I'd say.

Can't believe this political correctness/social justice garbage has filtered through to Bitcointalk.

$160k for secretary work? Sounds like fraud to me.

I'd rather have Monero stay low over the next few months, so that I can acquire more. Pumps don't really serve anyone except for short term speculators.

I guess at this point it's unavoidable. However, once Monero is brought to a greater level of usability, and merchants begin accepting it, Bitcoin will no longer have relevance for me.

From my perspective, I would only be using Monero.
