I'm not sure why people keep posting new threads to make fun with The DAO, Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin. We saw videos, memes and everything, but the truth is that personally this failure makes me angry.

You are right it is not funny. But people are responding with memes and jokes simply because the Ether hype got so extreme (for example I got spammed with dozens of personal messages on reddit, promoting ether, as did everyone who ever posted on the r/bitcoin subreddit).

It's the extreme promotion that has made people respond with jokes.

Damn fucking right and all these guys are side stepping this ugly issue.
Admitting we witnessed the largest obviously paid hype / spam campaign here and across Crypto
..is bullshit !
They had a LOT of "Stories" pre-made and submitted and approved on Coindesk going back to 2014.

NONE of this was possible with out a few millionairess to start the Pump for the dump too.
And there was a dump too !
V. Butterin admitted to dumping a massive fortune (how did he get his coins ?)

Don't forget about the million dollar secret ETH cash-grab in 2014 on launch day.
This was a cold calculating ICO scam from the start !

SO i laugh at them as it all collapses around them as i predicted.

AND..

I laugh at you all when you say it's bad for the Crypto Currency scene when scams are busted.
Sorry but busting up and killing scams is a good thing Investards.
..don't bother trying to lump together your scammy ICO "Scheme" tokens
with the far older and far more respectable Alternative Currency scene.

The public ?
You mean the one i have been railing away at you all for fucking years on end
as you ALL bent over backwards to deny it ?
All of a sudden you are trying to use that against me ?
AHAHHAH I THINK NOT !

The public can do a quick Google search on the difference between ICO scheme and ALT-Currency.
They are not that stupid.

The public is not blown away by techno-jargon & catch phrases..

Turing Complete, Crowd-funding, Block-chain, APP's, platform, ICO, Immutable, Recursive, Angel Investing, ITO, Line trends, MARKETING ...for profit "schemes" Roll Eyes

We have ~~ICO scams~~ and we have currencies period .

..i support currencies that are intended as such.
..I laugh at all the other "For profit" crap.

By the way i just had yet ANOTHER new account here ask me AGAIN for trade advice via PM.
And it was not very difficult..
This is what i told him people (so bear that in mind when you think scams being killed is a problem for Crypto-CURRENCIES)

Look for a currency launched fairly. (little or no premine for starters)
ICO = 100% premine not fair at all.

Many are not intended to be a currency.
Look for a currency ..that has potential for adoption etc.
And avoid the ICO schemes.

Litecoin may be a good example.

Good Luck.

PS:
@Minecache
As usual you are a deceitful Fraud who refuses to stop pushing your scammy bullshit.
Even after the gig is up and the game is over. Cheesy

Desperate little noob bag-holder ..awww i feel sorry for you (NOT) Grin
