Yes, I held Darkcoins in the past. That's not illegal and doesn't mean I'm presently or otherwise commercially invested in the coin.
Evan Duffield never portrayed DASH as an investment vehicle. He has a long-term roadmap to help in the process of redesigning the financial system. If you want to hold coins for a short period of time, that's your choice, but Evan has always been looking to build an alternative system with wide-ranging functionality. He has clearly laid out the pathway his developers intend to take over the next 18 months, in doing so.
By contrast, what has Monero done? Anyway, I admit to personally liking Evan. He's a pretty interesting guy. He's a doer. The bottom line is, he is working on solutions that the world needs. They may not be absolutely perfect but he is getting on with the challenge instead of bad-mouthing competitors.
Oh so you sold (unloaded onto suckers) them all. Thanks for letting me know!
