DAO was promising project but it failed because of security hole. Life sucks sometimes.
I don't think that it was an intended scam from the beginning, but more something akin of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1kuy2yIRdc |

I can go with the idea that it *became* a scam at a certain point, when the over-ambitious authors of it realized that this thing grew totally over their heads and didn't know how to get out of it. But I do think they were honest at the beginning at least, with truckloads of hubris and ego-inflation. |

It seems that could be a big pump and dump scam. |

ETC is the real ETH and ETH right now is the HF'd coin which by all measurements or metrics whatever you call it is not a crypto anymore. Do you know what message was in the Bitcoin genesis? Something about the '09 bailout of banks, this HF was a bailout of investors who played the markets like anybody else does. Just frigging ridiculous and you dare say ETC is a scam? ETC is the real deal and ETH is a frigging joke man. I am not gonna say ETH is a scam because people have destroyed that word but it is a joke and a disgrace to crypto. |

The Bitcoin has hard forked, so is the Monero. Does it mean they are scams. The ETC has hard forked before. |

There is exponential increase of difficulty in the PoW miing. |

It was set up illegally from the get go. I think they've broken at least a dozen securities laws for example. And how the hell were you supposed to your taxes on something like that? I was pretty surprised to see such a large portion of the community invest in this. Basically everyone in it would be doing something illegal at some point. Blows my mind..
And well if somebody should go to jail at some point it's definitely Stephan. He's a very good marketer because he doesn't care what he say is true or not as long as he believes it himself then that's ok and legal for some reason. I like the guys charisma but damn that is fraudulent.

There will be many forks of the ETC and many people will own many kinds of ETC in the future. |

So the current ETC holders will be rich in the future. But the combined values of the various ETC could be lower. |
