I used to think that the instamine was a bad thing, but now I'm really glad it happened. Three years ago, Evan Duffield quit a six figure job to work full time on Dash. Do you really think he would have stuck around if he didn't have a decent stake in the project? Because the instamine happened, Dash (then Xcoin) was effectively worthless in the beginning and Evan was able to buy his coins on the cheap.

If he really was a scammer planning to dupe all us knaves, then he's the worst scammer in history. What scammer works nonstop for 3+ years developing a project, when he had the opportunity to dump all his coins in May 2014 for an enormous profit? It doesn't even make any sense, folks.
