The "logic" (rationalization) of criminal is that everyone is a criminal so his actions are no worse than anyone else's. It is this warped mindset that is apparently held by 2.5% of the population.


Liar. Bitcoin, Litecoin and Monero do not appear to be scams to me. My angst against Monero was when they were in every coin's thread spamming everyone about how only Monero could win. And some Monerotards making prouncements about DA MOON.

My angst against Dash has grown as the lies and deception have grown. When I originally went to the DarkCoin thread as the behest of illodin, I told Evan that CoinJoin could be jammed (since I was the first one to point out in gmaxwell's CoinJoin thread that a blacklist couldn't work because the point of the mixer is to prevent tracking identity, duh!). Evan responded by designing masternodes. I left the thread thinking he is an amiable but dumb man, so let him go ahead. Then later I come to find out about the instamine and using the masternodes as a scheme to enrich the insiders. So that is why I have gone ballastic on Dash, because I should have shut that down from the start instead of appearing to have given it my blessing. And because of Evan's greed! He should have stopped but he analogous to all criminal mindsets think they can continue, so they push it too far and end up caught. The Evolution hype can keep the fools coming in to perpetuate the scheme, but eventually the scheme will blow up. Because you can't print money out of thin air and always make the fools pay the insiders without eventually it eating up all the capital that is dumb enough. Probably you have some people who think the dividends they are getting from masternoodes are enriching them, but that illusion will fall away and then it will be a stampede to the exits or just stuck there watching their price decline towards 0. Most likely what will finally kill Dash is when there is a good enough altcoin that everyone just says fuck these shitcoins.


Be very careful. I fell into that trap over the past years and almost justified some shady ideas because "the entire system is scam". That is sliding into a criminal mindset and forsaking any ethical backbone. With that attitude, we all steal from each other and end up in a clusterfuck Dark Age. Step back from the ledge before it is too late and recover the ethics you learned as a child perhaps from your grandparents who came from the honorable generation before the boomers (assuming you are my age or older).
