It's cool to finally read some insightful speculation in here again.  And don't worry, we are all crazy and paranoid in here... you are preaching to the choir

Honestly I don't pay much attention to the BTC fork drama saga.  I understand the basics, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.  But from my perspective no one who I know from the forum, IRC, cryptotwitter, etc. takes anything Craig says seriously.  It seems he's basically a scammy dude who's been chalked up to be meme-worthy for his blatant bullshit and have seen countless arguments of him contradicting himself and essentially proves he's not Satoshi.

In order to dump on people, people would have to be buying in the first place... My question is who the fuck is buying, and isn't the market cap basically a group of whales slinging their dicks around to get the most profit from their BTC they accumulated in the past?  I have never seen anyone online who is not an obvious bot, or a scammy whale, promoting these fork coins.

But honestly as time goes on and the endless list of new coins/forks coming out; I still have never heard of another coin that is a better "plan" for a digital P2P cash system than Monero.  Grin, Z-cash, etc. might have some cool technology behind them, but there are more cons to them in comparison to Monero.  Sure, there are cons in Monero, but the difference is that the community recognizes the remaining flaws and are actively interested in correcting them and funding developers and mathematicians to work these issues out.

Remain calm, and amass Monero.
