This is the second time you've stated 'a large percentage', with no data to back it up. It is hand waving.

It's anecdata, not hand-waving. I was pretty clear that I'm talking about what I personally see, not any sort of research results or news reporting.
> It's anecdata, not hand-waving.
It was anecdata the first time. The second time, it became hand-waving.
> I do loosely follow the industry
You follow it closely and care enough to comment here. 'disturbingly large percentages' and 'rather large percentages'... all say it is the big bad cookie monster... but it is just that... all anecdata.
You're trying to spread a myth, without anything more than anecdata, which is the whole point of this thread. I'd love to see less myth and more research.
> You follow it closely and care enough to comment here
Yes, because I'm concerned about the societal effects of it. What I don't follow closely are the implementation details.
> You're trying to spread a myth
No, I'm simply reporting what I personally observe. I even stated where I've observed it (mostly here on HN). My observations can, of course, be incorrect -- but describing it as "trying to spread a myth" is misleading. I'm not trying to spread a myth at all. I'm explaining why it is that I view the cryptocurrency space as having a lot of sketchy things in it.
