Dead thread, all points easily disproved above. Move along people.

Monero is the most well-organized pump job I've ever seen. Not only do they have an army of devs and paid fanboys spamming monero 24/7 but they also have the backing on an entire EXCHANGE to help coordinate and strengthen their pumps! (Poloniex, if there was any question).

Monero represents the essence of greed and stupidity in the crypto community and although it is one of the more sophisticated scams / Ponzi schemes I have encountered here, it is still a scam / Ponzi nontheless.

THINK ABOUT IT: Does ANYBODY care about Monero except for the flaming fanboys and Poloniex? NO!!!

- NO real-world application
- NO desire to integrate into day-to-day finances
- NO long-term plan or evidence the dev team plans on being around even more than 1 year from now.

Evidence, please. Have you even read their Missives? Your "arguments" seem to be approaching the level of a Gish gallop:

How can I provide evidence of something that doesn't exist? The burden of proof is on you to come up with examples of real-world application for Monero because I can't find any.

There are hundreds of other coins out there that do the exact same things Monero does. Its just that the monero devs were richer kiddies than most others.

Honestly ask yourself, can you ever see somebody like Warren Buffet actively recommending a coin with a name like "Monero" to his newsletter-readers? Do you honestly see any merchants adopting Monero the same way they are beginning to adopt BTC and LTC?

NO! The answer is NO! No credible merchants will ever accept Monero because its just another bland, faceless shitcoin, centered around a cult of personality.

Monero was only built for 1 thing - to trick rich kids out of their money. The name, the neverending cheeseball pumpjob, the foaming-at-the-mouth fanboyism, the collusion with major exchanges to promote themselves, its all smoke and mirrors. It will never amount to anything useful for 99.9999999% of the planet earth.
