I'm actually in this coin for all the reasons arielbit isn't.

The whole point of an alt-coin is to make improvements and you can't make improvements without making mistakes. Bitcoin takes the ultra-conservative approach - no changes allowed. Evan takes the opposite approach - make changes for the sake of progress, protect the blockchain, constantly improve and try to get things right.

I didn't buy into this coin because it had a 'perfect launch' ffs. I bought it to have a horse in this race and because it has a couple of uniquely innovative qualities that I think are going to make a huge difference to the quality of electronic money - i.e. addressing 'fungibility' directly without compromising the visibility of the public aspect of the blockchain and the introduction of decentralised functional specialisation to the network.

There are hundreds of coins out there addressing all kinds of challenges, some succeeding, some not, some with perfect launches, some not. Markets will end up deciding what worked and what didn't, what's of value and what isn't as well as the impact of the coin's heritage on its valuation. In that regard, if your idiotic enough to think having a 'perfect launch' is all that matters (or even that it matters more than anything else) then your going to come away from this market skinned alive. I doubt that's the kind of advice that arielbit wants his 'newbs' to hear though  Wink

Follow arielbit/adam's mono-signal advice and your coins are going to zero nine times out of ten. (Most of his already did).
