A coin with big price swings is an OPPORTUNITY :-D

Lottery is an opportunity. Betting on horse races is an opportunity. Paying a visit to your local casino may be an opportunity. ZCoin isn't an "opportunity", it's one of the most advanced cryptocurrencies ever released, built upon rock-solid technology. Did you read the Zerocoin protocol whitepaper? Do you even know what a zero-knowledge proof is? All I can see here it's a vocal minority of minus habens spreading FUD and misinformation that don't have the foggiest idea of all the benefits that truly anonymous cryptocurrencies can bring to everybody.

Does it make you feel superior to insult a well respected developper in Latin? Or anyone for that matter? Or in any language?
If you choose to criticize those you feel are inferiour you could reply to someone who, at least, resembles your strawman.

Yeah... I didn't even read as far as the 2nd line from MarySue initially.... I stopped reading around this point...

ZCoin isn't an "opportunity"

What a dumb thing to say... Of course it is an opportunity, and potentially a fantastic opportunity depending on how things progress.
Perhaps English is not MarySue's first language, but I suspect it was just a condescending post.

A coin with big price swings is an OPPORTUNITY :-D

Back to this original quote from pallas... I agree 100%. Any coin with big price swings is an opportunity for more profit.
Doesn't matter if the coin has zero-knowledge proof or not, the price swings provide opportunity *in addition* to any inherent technological advancement.

Indeed.

That post pushed a few of my buttons: noob know-it-all, condescending, falsely accusing a respected member of spreadin FUD,
and being wrong about the point she was trying to make in the first place.

I personally don't mind the FUD because it helps create those opportunities, whether it's done out of ignorance or with an agenda.
