The "issue" is people who missed the cheap coins are jelly and butt hurt.
That's not the issue because the same can be said for other coins which don't get the same negative reaction.
The amount of jelly butt hurt is proportional to the amount of easily amassed cheap coins and their potential profits one has missed. And as you can attest, the amount of cheap coins has been exceptional in case of Dash.
Well there you go, if that's the issue, then Dash, specifically, is screwed.
But if you really believe 'jelly' is a dominant factor, then Dash is screwed either way. You can't wish away the 'jelly' factor any more than you can wish away the 'instamine scam' disgust factor. It is still part of human nature, even if, again, you, illodin don't consider it the right way to think.
I believe I said
it is an issue that affects emotional "investors" and speculators. User's don't care.
Jelly seems indeed to be a dominant factor in these forums filled with emotional "investors" and speculators though.
What is different between people in these forums and people who don't know about cryptos yet, is that being here in the forums at the time of the launch and knowingly making the choice of not getting some cheap coins or even betting on the wrong horse and/or holding an asset being slowly but surely killed by inflation and stagnant development adds to the amount of butt hurt.
