I think Americanpegasus is playing with investors emotions, looking at he's history he keeps saying Monero now is like BTC in 2011, the thing is every other coin here can say the same thing. I'd rather see Monero work more into their development rather than emotional speeches.
"every other coin here can say the same thing" is playing with investors emotions. Let's break it down, in points of increasing importance, starting with the factitious and culminating in the devastating:
1) Coins do not actually speak, in the literal sense.
Once you resort to metaphor, you have already left the domain of full logical rigor.
2) If an entity speaks (taking it that an actual coin, in this hypothetical, or a human spokesperson on behalf of a coin, does in fact speak), that does not imply the truth of the utterance.
Inferring that it does is simply false. Since the statement is obviously either logically meaningless or intrinsically false in its implications, it cannot convey factual information without delusion.
3) More importantly, if a coin makes this claim, the validity of the claim is not independent of the facts on the ground.
If the claim is less valid, it is, in your terms, playing on investors emotions. If the claim is more valid, it is providing important information.
4) The analogy between early XMR and early BTC is not yet subject to a unitary provable metric, but it is subject to metrics.
It is the clearly expressed opinion of a large number of objectively superior authorities that, in the metrics they apply, the positioning of XMR is much more closely analogous to the early positioning of BTC than is the positioning of most, if not all, other cryptographic tokens. This is known as expert testimony, and is admissible in court. It has probabilistic evidentiary value.
As to the specific features of the analogy, I am not going to spoon-feed you that. Do your own diligence. I just didn't want a smear (intentional or unintentional) to stand unchallenged on logical and factual grounds. Let it suffice that the majority of coins here are copies, rip-offs, scams, fakes, while neither BTC nor XMR are designed to take your money by deceit and slight-of-hand. That is a complex claim, and breaking it down in a logical fashion is a huge task, but it is also pretty obviously true, to anyone with experience in this space, and if they tell you otherwise, they are almost certainly either trying to take your money, or to justify their own gullibility and loss.
