I really am not looking to be a dick. However people need to correlate their mistakes appropriately. If the lesson you learned from BitShares is "don't trust programmers" then you need to seriously reconsider the basis of what you learned.
That... or become a programmer...
I'm a PHP and C (not plus plus )programmer myself ....
What I meant was "i'm not gonna trust programmers to take a chuck load of money to invest on something else that was not built by them and out of their control to hope to get return on investment " .
I could just invest the things that they intended to invest in myself , if all they do is take one's money and give it to another .
of course , some VC and Investment funds are built by programmers , but they also have people from other area of expertise to help them , like from the financial, business world .
But crypto investment fund that was not runned in the form of a traditional investment process ? don't think they could have those .
