😀 [Analysis] Grin and the mythical fair launch - Arjun Balaji and Hasu

Grin ($grin), a Mimblewimble based privacy token launched earlier this month, boasts perhaps the fairest cryptocurrency launch to date. Fairness is subjective, but the period of issuance and price equality over issuance are two metrics that help scrutinize claims to fairness. Grin's launch was totally transparent, as the work proceeded via public contributions and input. The issuance schedule via mining, furthermore, was publicly debated and published, allowing for information to penetrate the market and create truer price bids. Common Bitcoin ($BTC) arguments against Grin fall short within a free market paradigm: VC miners who took on risk anticipating market demand for Grin should be rewarded for their economic insight. Highly competitive pools like VC miners, moreover, are the best way bring coins to the secondary market. Lastly, a lack of privacy, unlike Satoshi's project or many ICOs, demonstrates the projects transparency.
