Finally some common sense. You are absolutely correct in that there is nothing funny for anyone seriously wanting crypto to succeed in seeing the DAO fail. It discredits the whole community and makes crypto look to the common man not worth investing in.
No it does not.
Eth/DAO failing because of programming errors, Bitcoin failing because of future power cuts to chinese mining farms do not affect the crypto movement in the long run. Eth and Bitcoin flaws have been and will be fixed in other crypto and the show goes on.
You won't get as many investors if it's seen as a risky investment. Crypto needs slow steady increases not boom and bust.
