This analogy is flawed

I think it is a little unfair to compare DASH/BTC because the emission rate is different now, BTC is emitting far fewer coins for most (all?) of DASH's life.  Also, IMO a big price support for BTC is the fact the 1 million Satoshi coins are not in play, whereas in DASH almost all the coins are in play, we have much less as a percentage 'lost coins'.  This is important, because the early coins have a price tag of zero and if they were in play they would most definitely be sold and that would bring the price of Bitcoin down.

I appreciate Tok's passionate plea, but his accounting is not ultimately what I see as impacting the price, price is (OK we :OffTopic: now) is determined by people, that's us ! and we don't much care about where those coins came from, we care about two things, what we paid for them and what we want to sell them for (ie current price).

and so it is game of confidence, or musical chairs, who gets left out and who makes out like a bandit, OTOH, Ultradar, and several others.

For price to grow, the number of people involved in price disc:hole:very has to grow, the interest in the coin has to grow and that means, adoption and BUIDL.  Confidence will grow, more people will take the risk of buying the asset and price will rise, which will create a feedback loop and bring in even more people and could result in a bull market.  Ain't nothin' to do where the coins came from!

To answer dashAF and Tok on the irony of the POS Shitcoins, sure they are valueless because they never did anything worthwhile either.  If a good POS coin existed, then it would have some value.  I wonder if Tok thinks ETH will goto zero once it moves to POS, I don't, nor does anyone else here, so hint.  It won't!
