You can pretty much apply that line of thought to everything on this forum. Kudos to the XMR team for being real about it. Hopefully any action BCX takes only helps things in the long run.

The point is xmr dev is basically admitting that xmr is pourous, but yet some are trying to pump it and use it as an investment. rpietila has worked tirelessly to do exactly that. Doesn't his undermine confidence in the coin? Why would any business or exchange add this in light of this?

I have described it elsewhere as a speculative asset that might, someday, turn into a useful anonymous cryptocurrency.

If you buy it you are making a bet on whether or not that happens. Simple as that. You don't buy XMR because you want to use it to buy a pack of gum at your local convenience store. It's 100% speculative. Decide how you want to bet, and bet, or don't bet.
