The large mining groups are mining Decred just to sell it for Bitcoin. They are helping Decred at all. This didn’t happen to Bitcoin during its early days, if so it wouldn’t have survived.

Edit. They are NOT helping Decred at all
Miners being in it for the money instead of for the ideology? What a shocker.
There’s nothing wrong with a neutral, politically uninterested party running the infrastructure for profit reasons. In fact it’s probably better than a bunch of charged and opinionated members trying to sway influence one way or another.
It’s a store of value!*

* as long as miners are benevolent and don’t sell it

miners are supposed to be in it for the money
