You do realize people no longer even read your posts right?

Very true.  Wall of text accomplishes only one thing which is not being read.


I still read Spoetnik's textwalls. I find his writing to be very unique.

I do as well. I like his candor.

As for Monero, it reminds me of junk bonds.
The coin itself may be great, but the overbearing approach towards promoting the coin puts me off from acquiring any.
The faux fanaticism displayed by a bunch of new accounts; the patronizing approach towards criticisms screams of dysfunctional groupthink (which even extends to exchange chat boxes); the repeated putdowns of other coins and technologies - all these seem to be par for the course.

Monero needs to learn to be graceful.


exactly !

(... more ungraceful stuff...)


There are accounts that are obviously overreaching, making grand claims, and provide ample fuel for the critics.  These accounts claim that Monero is today what those actually working on it are hopeful that it may someday become.  These accounts tend to fail at articulating reasons for their grand claims, they ignore the merits of Monero in favor of emotional hype.

Typically this sort of activity is harmful, it matters little whether it is intended to be harmful or not.
If believed, it artificially inflates expectations, and generates absurd arguments.   If not believed, it gives the appearance of false hype and scam.

Being tarred with such "supporters" may be one of the effects of the early work to wrestle an honest and open coin, out of those attempting to misuse the CryptoNote technology.
