They were bought for the sole purpose of ensuring that, and I quote Evan, "The acquired project itself will not continue".
As myfarm said earlier in this thread, the IRS has determined that cryptocurrency is property in the USA. As such, Evan bought assets for the purpose of reducing the value and function of other people's personal property. Doing this in Arizona is a very very very bad idea.
Not feeding, just clarifying for the REST of the folk that have the unfortunate itch of these postings.
That is a lie. Evan bought Dashcoin's reps for the purpose of the trademark dispute. NOT to shut down Dashcoin. If you understand verbal tense, you will read that, as a SECONDARY effect of said purchase, Evan has no intention of continuing developing Dashcoin
"The acquired project itself will not continue".
Ding-dong!!
Furthermore, cryptos may be an asset, but until Evan goes D2D stealing wallet.dat or hacking, there is zero personal property liability. In the same sense, if the original Dashcoin dev did a Mr.Spread trick and vanished, you wouldn't be able to sue him for NOT continuing a project that he started.
Function was NOT reduced, it is EXACTLY as it was before.
Doing this in Arizona is terrific idea as I hear the weather is very fine and sunny.
