I politely disagree with the statement If you cant trust the developers to uphold the fundamentals of crypto, specifically immutability and security, then you shouldnt invest a single cent into the project..
Trust has nothing to do with ability of getting profit from this coin. The incident affects bottom line of the IOTA price for sure. But this doesnt mean that a cant get couple of dollars extra on untrusted currency. Sure, it becomes more risky investment. But it can be still leveraged as investment. I also think it is possible to repair trust by chaning the ways this cryptocoin works over the course of many years. This is a matter of support of this project by talanted developers and their wiliness for improving.
that is cold man. True, but cold. Reading your post actually inspired me and I bought today a coin that I know will ultimately fail. But chances are likes you say, I will get to make a ton of money before it does. The only problem is what happens if somebody blows the whistle before you get out :|
