@qwizzie it seems obvious you're interested in promoting DASH. I'm curious to hear your view about this coin's history. Do you think the founder(s) instamined around 1.5 million coins or not? If so, don't you think that's a bad thing for the overall market?
Its a fact that Dash has an instamine history, this has never been denied. Official statements from Dash about the instamine go all the way back to 2014 but you have to realise that Dash
Founders were not the only people mining at the time and massive amounts of Dash were sold off on the markets early on as people did not see any value in it.
Here are some links that are dealing with the instamine history of Dash :

Was The Instamine A Positive Thing For Dash?
https://dashdot.io/alpha/?page_id=118Its really up to the individual investor to decide if Dash instamine history from more then three years ago should still play a role or not.
Dash community has long long long ago moved on.
Dash instamine history has no influence on the market whatsoever (Dash has price and marketcap increase every single year, from its first year to its current year)
"realise that Dash Founders were not the only people mining at the time" - 40 Amazon instances and 40 Microsoft ones instamining the shit out of it. The windows wallet was not available at the moment and neither the roadmap.
"and massive amounts of Dash were sold off on the markets early" - That carrot looking motherfucker (Duffbar) never sold a Dash out of his >1M instamine. He knew exactly what he was doing, as seen in the masternode implementation that came shortly after. On top of the 45% that was/is taken by his instamine every day, the Carrot even had the cojones to ask for an additional 10% for development.
