Or, possibly, they: - Have enough faith in humanity to regard the possibility of collective democratic power having influence on currencies as a feature - Are kinda noticing that life isn't actually quite a tragedy currently in most western democracies and therefore see no need for revolutionary change. - Consider risk an essential factor in every investment, and fear it may be too high for the class of investors attracted to cryptocurrencies - Have been convinced by actually quite serious flaws in this DAO thing, not from ideology, but game theory - Are irritated by crypto currency advocates who go for conspiracy theories instead of arguing on the merits. - Are wary of crypto advocates who argue with political arguments but clearly have a financial interest in the currency's rise.

For those with Faith, you've got your wise democratic currencies. But some people buy gold, presumably with those same democracies in mind ... are you against them doing that too? As for the DAO, yeah I imagine it's got bugs. Hopefully less, and more transparently, than our existing contracts. But even if it fails horribly, other smart-contracts will stand on their own. Do the market a favor and short the DAO (and fund an attack on it, if you can). That'll establish a demand for security and make you a pretty penny if you're right. Even if you are right though, what would it mean? If Kickstarter got hacked or phished would that disprove all p2p funding sites forever?
