 imagine being a maxi and saying monero is bad because it is hard to verify the total supply and it has some inflation. then you go around telling people to use ecash mints, which are also hard to verify the total supply and are vulnerable to inflation. maxis lie when they tell you what is important to them. all they care about is if you buy BTC after they do. they don't care about anything else and they never did. 
 pumpers gonna pump  
 reminds me how about 5 years ago i told a Tesla pumper that with a plug-in hybrid you get all of the benefits of EV without any of the donwsides

he responded by saying " who will want a PHEV when you can have a long-range EV ? " and before i could answer he blocked me

fast forward 5 years and EVs are rotting on parking lots - nobody wants to buy them - while PHEVs are now the most expensive cars on sale and still sell in half the time  
 in other words - he knew i was right - his job was merely to sing his song and block anybody who points out he's a fraud. 
 being ok with a hard cap and promoting it as a virtue gave that away. very short sighted.
