If people like Smooth and Pegasus weren't remorselessly full of shit, I wouldn't hate it nearly as much. Like I said before, its dumb to hate inanimate objects. I just hate people who have decided to use the precious gift of life to rip off their fellow man for a living.
I get what you are saying and I dislike the kind very much too, I just don't think smooth or pegasus are doing this to rip anyone off, at max they are waiting for the long-term late adopters get in and if theres use-case available for Monero, buy their slighted inflated by virtue of free-market and early-adoption moneroj, ofc I speaking purely from a financial perspective, some may be interested in this because of the technology and what it could offer as a complement in a crypto-dominated, btc-based new world.
