The only thing that Evan was guilty of is being excited, enthusiastic, and lacking foresight about what he was doing. You have to understand the timing as well. This was a time when several coins were hitting the market every day. Evan was excited about his creation and wanted to launch as soon as possible. His enthusiasm can be seen in the post you quoted.
He still has that enthusiasm to this day, and it's evident with every new groundbreaking idea he comes up with, and every innovation he articulates. He is a visionary, and he's leading a passionate, devoted team. This is where I see the difference in Dash. Building the Internet of Money will not be easy, and it's wonderful to see this team work together. If you don't believe me, just hang out at DashTalk for a while.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, however.
