As to me "trying to fuck someone else out of money" You have absolutely no reason to say that to me. Be careful please.

I didn't mean 'you' specifically, sorry if that wasn't clear. I had no idea whether you were day trading or not. (You said you weren't, and I have no reason to doubt that).

But the reality is that those who are day trading are playing a zero sum game. If they are buying on the basis of a public pre-announcement, where is your edge in this game? You must be making some sort of judgment based on all available information as to the content, importance, and market-relevance of the announcement (or others' assessment thereof). Just buying on a public announcement and expecting that to be riskless profit is neither reasonable nor realistic.

But what RS did was wrong. I have already said why I think that is the case. Is his point true? Yes. Does that justify his means. No.

I don't entirely disagree. As I said it would not be my preference. I just don't think it was the high offense (essentially theft) some are making it out to be. People traded, some won, some lost. Every trade had two sides.

Just from trading perspective: Nearly every coin is in -20 or -30% today in BTC terms, not only XMR. I think XMR will recover faster then many expect, as real announcements are coming and the project is not based on hype like the majority of other crypto projects.

Agree though to be fair, unfortunately this stunt won't fix hype. It still rules the day and hype may continue to outperform for now.
