I think that one bad move is nothing comparing to all good things fluffy did over past 3 years, like nobody remembers all the troubles XMR had since its early days and who was always there to save the day. It is very important to understand that we're only humans and we can sometimes make a foolish move, and if you look at the market now and 2 days ago ... well it looks kinda fickle to me ...
Meanwhile that whalepanda - veteran altcoin trader (his twitter profile description) - with more than 13k followers is being ignored in all this mess and all the rocks are being thrown on someone who did so much for for all of us. At least now we know how effective a single tweet from a veteran altcoin trader (P&D scumbag) can be, and it could be that Monero has just been cleansed from all those bad things that are typical for shitcoins that work on announcement/roadmap marry go round ...
Monero looks much stronger now, not saying that from a speculators perspective but as a user. Now there's over 180k uncomfirmed BTC transactions and its been like that for weeks. I have one transaction stuck in limbo since may 18 (9 days already
) cos I forgot to adjust TX fee in wallet preferences while BTC price almost doubled since my previous transaction that happened only 10 days before (and was confirmed the same day with same TX fee). Just imagine how many BTC are stuck in limbo because of the stupid 1mb block size limit, could be millions of BTC stuck in traffic jam (there's 1.2BTC in my transaction only). There are maybe thousands of BTC users being totally pissed cos they have their coins stuck for days while watching them lose over 500usd of value. Just imagine how those alphabay vendors react on all this BTC mess, how much they have to pay for BTC mixing that can create hundreds transactions on a single item sale, that sport must be very very expensive right now - in order for BTC to add just one simple Monero's feature it has to pour salt on an open wound, block size limit and mixers on overcrowded network are very very bad combination, not to mention that those mixers are utter crap comparing to how Monero handles the same task ... Personally I would prefer to use a currency on which some people spent 10 years in the dark hammering out the details, than a currency some guy convinced me to invest in ...
