Shitcoin buyers are victims of their own stupidity and greed but in the case of Dash I don't think there's any ongoing victimization. Initially with the lies and bs, yes, but anyone buying now I'd say has had fair warning. I don't think Dash is a bad coin by any means. Its future is uncertain, but that's true of everything else in crypto up to and including bitcoin itself.

So when you say, "I don't think there is any ongoing victimization. Initially with the lies and bs, yes, but anyone buying now I'd say has had fair warning" you believe that going onto the dash ANN and reading, "fairly and transparently launched" that that person has been fairly warned and is just a victim of their own greed or stupidity?

My point is that it takes time here and other places to learn the truth about dash (if at all, some seem to rationalize it away when finding out), and that blaming the victim for their ignorance is pretty absurd when the lie is being actively perpetrated by the developers and their community (though some in the community are just continuing the lie unwittingly).

Now if apply "Shitcoin buyers are victims of their own stupidity and greed" to "I don't think Dash is a bad coin by any means" it seems a fair assessment if someone has done the necessary due diligence in learning a bit about cryptosystems and concluded that they are all about equal and dash is as technically sound as another--though I would think ignorance (willful or not) would be the culprit of misdiagnosis in this case as much as stupidity or greed.

Well I will have to admit my own ignorance on a lot of things related to crypto. But dash isn't a bad coin imo, as I said. The greed and stupidity I was directing more toward the real shitcoins, i.e. the ones that don't even trade on all the exchanges and sell for single digit satoshis.

Don't know about the dash ANN thread. Much of what I learned about it was from related threads.
