So you're conflating David Latapie being ripped off (who is not a Developer) with the Monero Devs starting a pyramid scheme? I've seen evidence of your inability to comprehend who is involved, what took place and what constitutes evidence, but no evidence of any Monero Developer being involved in a scam or scheme. You are simply wrong if this is the story you're basing your accusation on. David was ripped off, the culprit is in jail, and no Monero Devs were ever involved.
I think we all know that for one reason or another people feel threatened by Monero. Apparently some of these people are Darkcoin/Dashcoin supporters.
It's perfectly natural that there will be some rivalry, but it's easy to see why Dashcoin holders feel threatened.
Monero may possibly have a good future. Hard to say as things change so quickly.
Dashcoin has absolutely no hope at all.
It's difficult enough to get a wider acceptance for Bitcoin, how on earth will Dashcoin ever survive the scrutiny that must come with a wider acceptance? Everything has been documented. All the evidence is there.
At the moment altcoins are only used by an extremely small fringe element. How can Dashcoin ever be accepted apart from the Dashcoin cult that is composed of those who have already invested and who are invested in MN's?
Can you imagine what journalists will do if Dashcoin ever tries to become "legitimate" or widespread.
BTW I hold no Monero. I may buy some if the technicals improve one day, but for now I see no reason
