I'm so glad to see that most of you early Bitcoin adopters finally see that Bitcoin has been hijacked by the banks. I was saying it since 2013 but nobody would believe it - especially not the Bitcoin "experts".
Afair, you participated in my (as AnonyMint) "Bitcoin is a Ponzi" thread where I cited and discussed with you my "Bitcoin: The Digital Kill Switch" in 2013. So "nobody" is incorrect.
FYI: Monero is most likely a fed coin. Just ask the top hackers in crypto! So is DASH. That makes both coins good buys just don't go falling in love with another lie. 
Smooth and iCebreaker are running a convincing campaign to elucidate that DASH (DarkCoin) was instamined.
Why do you think those guys (fluffypony, tacotime, smooth, etc) are moles for the banks? I sometimes have discussions with smooth. He is also working on AEON.
I read an innuendo yesterday that implied fluffypony has 25 x 2.5% of the XMR coins! I doubt that! But there was apparently one entity mining the hell out of Monero on AWS (these are just accusations I read yesterday so I dunno).
Seems the more plausible explanation is these are all just sort of scammy coins by guys who want to get rich and pretend (hide behind) an ethos that they are more ethical (holier than thou) the other scammer.
It is the Hegelian dialectic principle that TPTB employ where the lesser worst looks better (i.e. manufactured crisis).
But I still doubt that. I bet it is just human natures at play.
Also I want to move away from getting into these political battles. Who cares! Can't we just go create great tech and make our presentations and let the users decide what they want to buy and use.
I know for a fact that fluffypony can't have 25 x 2.5% of the XMR coins because I have 50 x 2.5% of the XMR coins. So not enough left for him to have that much.
P.S. TPTB stop wasting time with this inane crap. Come on, really. What's the point anyway?
