Ok, I'll bite and yes I am a Panda investor but I'm not a newbie so I guess people have to listen to me for some reason.

Tell me exactly why this scenario isn't possible? SEriously, no name calling, screaming "scam", etc.  Present a logical analysis as to why this situation is impossible. Please no snarky smiley faces either.

The tone of the posters seems to be directed towards reporting business-as-usual with none of the usual hype we've all come to expect.  Can you image the barrage we'd get if people in some country started using Bitswift? And where are the Pandacoin devs? In most cases they'd be all over the thread beating the drum.  I think they don't know what's going on either; how would they?

If alternative currencies are supposed to become part of the financial ecosystem why couldn't that initiation involve a Romanian rare magazine shop, some "dive" bars and taxi drivers? From reading the thread it looks like a smarter than average singer became interested in crytocurrencies and spoke about it on television.  Like most girls she probably fell in love with cute Pandas.  Everyone likes Pandas. People saw it on television and decided to give the new idea a try and it seems to be working out.  

In the US the same thing would happen if Myley Cyris for reason went on Twitter or a new show talking about how great Dogecoin is, for example.

People asked the OP for pictures and he was able to locate some.
