Conveniently leaving out the context. ... Monero
What you call "the contest" i.e. Monero, is off topic to this thread. Please try to stay on topic. iCEBREAKER seems capable of that (as far as I can tell every one of his posts here discussed Dash and Bitcoin). Are you?
Back on topic: Dash has lost nearly all of its value while Bitcoin is quickly recovering a large portion of the value it lost over a similar time period. Dash is NOT a better alternative to Bitcoin based on market performance, which is often cited by Dash proponents as a measure of its success.
And now instead of just leaving out the context editing posts to make the context different that it originally was is approaching forum games I've generally expected from puppets deserving the "Trollero" title. Please don't go there.
When iCEBREAKER invested in some coin other than Dash or Bitcoin is totally irrelevant to this thread, so yes, I'm going to trim that irrelevant context.
No, you changed the quote to make it out to be the context was Monero, when the context originally was one of the reasons why Icebreaker might be angry towards Dash and also his horrible investing skills which should make everyone consider his opinions on Dash very critically.
Everyone should also consider any Dash fanclub member's posts critically as being heavily involved with something can come with biased views (hopefully I didn't steal your reply here).
Wading back on topic, here's some shit you'd never see Bitcoin (much less Monero) core devs pulling.
The following has been brought to the attention of the DASH core team several times and has been categorically ignored.
Sept 15: Coin's founder begins posting pump/hype statements like "Finally got my money to the exchange" as if inviting the public to take advantage of an opportunity to front-run a bull with insider info.
Sept 16: Coin's founder continues pump/hype with self-serving, faulty TA.
Sept 17: Coin's founder advertises OTC coins for sale, on an ongoing basis, from the coin's official website. Why he's using market rather than OTC buys (which directly benefit his coin) is not disclosed.
This summary does not mention specific names, to make it clear that such actions would be outrageous no matter the particular coin/dev involved.
