Sorry, let me clarify.
DASH is no longer a scam because we all know now that its governance model is a Dictatorship.DASH was a scam before this occurred, when it started out as a "Hashocracy/Meritocracy" hybrid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQGlcLFhwE0#t=2m8sYes, like many political systems that start out with certain "ocracy" good intentions they have a slimy way of being corrupted over time (power corrupts weak minds), which is exactly what occurred here with DASH. Until Evan pulled the scam, this coin was indeed scam free. And now that the public knows the truth (that Evan is simply a Dictator), then it is no longer a scam.
TLDR: If I'm telling you that I am a liar, and I lie to you, then I made no misrepresentation. Since Evan is showing us that he is a dictator, we cannot claim that we did not see it coming when he changes the politicies of his community on a whim.
ELI5:
A dictator is not a liar (scammer), he just has the power to get away with lying to you
Evan scammed that's why he become a dictator..
a "scam before" cannot "un-scam" itself ..
