Fitting comparison, Mal. Robespierre was one of the main instigators of the French Revolution, he was eventually betrayed by his co-revolutionaries, and lost his head to the guillotine.

I'm not 100% happy about how things have turned out, either, Latoshi. But I know enough about history to say coups and revolutions and hostile takeovers happen. People have to adjust when change happens, and change is usually messier than anybody expected before it's over. Robespierre felt the sting of the guillotine. I predict Lisk will feel the sting of unexpected long-term downward price pressure from large forging rewards hitting the exchanges; an empty, unmotivated Standby Delegate corps; and a developing oligarchy class of Active Delegates whose rewards give them additional votes to stay in power even as the genesis Community voting power is diluted with time.

Crypti was a pure PoS coin with pure DPoS voting, which was part of its beauty. Lisk, despite all of its positive attirbutes, is neither.

However, this revolution is at least "legal" as an open source fork, even if it feels like a heist / robbery because it happened fast and in secret. At least Crypti holders have a conversion path forward instead of a fistful of worthless numbers. This option is to Max and Oliver's credit, they didn't have to do it. They have put themselves in the driver's seat of this train mainly because nobody was strong enough to stop them. Don't blame Max and Olivier for that, blame the people who have "Crypti Foundation Board of Directors" tags by their names.

And you know Murphy's Golden Rule:
