The curve can be implemented in code, and hence distributed.  The same central institution is always present:  The development process.  The curve can be implemented so as to automatically calibrate itself on the basis of transaction activity, although that can be gamed (and counter-gamed). 

The biggest problems are (1) complexity -> unexpected consequences, and (2) unpredictability -> lack of investor interest.

Anyhow, it's a suitable pretext for a new alt-coin, as the traffic goes.

it can be achieved without central instutution... Hard coded limits can be programmed.

For example: the high emission rate will only start when the hashrate crossed a certain point. It's all possible to programm

But this has nothing to do anymore with the XMR speculation, so let's stop this discussion here

Likewise.  It's like we're blessed or something.

The danger with a very early boom bust cycle is that is can do a lot of damage to a coin before there is a strong enough community to deal with the aftermath. There are very few who can show a positive return and a large quantity of "bag holders". The perception then is that the coin is in terminal decline. An interesting case is DOGE that was launched very close to the XBT/USD peak. This has led to what is seen by many as a coin that has been in a bear market since its inception. My take in the case of DOGE is that this has less to do with the intrinsic merit or lack thereof of DOGE and more with the unfortunate timing of its release. Nevertheless the DOGE community has to overcome this perception. If the boom bust cycle happens when the coin is more mature then the recovery becomes much easier.

i guess xmr will drop to below 250 

If this is indeed FUD, then we are witnessing market capitulation with strong rebound pending...

he talked about this specific exploit in july and no one cared. we will see how this works out. maybe he is right but I do not see his motivation in what he is doing

its called the 500K litecoins he owns.

duh

27K dumped in one 5m candle was pretty impressive.
