>BTW, as you read the scenarios outlined below, I'm sure you'll be convinced that I'm criticizing some specific coin or project, except no two readers will agree on which coins. This post is not about The DAO or the-coin-which-cannot-be-named-or-else-they-conjure-a-butthurt-online-brigade and also no-not-that-one-the-other-one or even oh-my-god-they-all-do-that. It's about all of us. The entire set of scenarios are synthetic -- an amalgamation of Sorry-For-Your-Loss (SFYL) events I've seen play out in cryptocurrencies over the years. No need to make it personal, it already is.

It really wasn't intended to single out any specific project. All the "funny anecdotes" are real events that happened to me or to people I know, and now that I think about it, none of them involve Iota.

Don't worry, I'm sure the Iota people are reasonable enough to presume that was the truth anyways.
