Is this project representing the evil inside or why did you dedicate the name into something devilish ?

Please let me know the intent, before I start working with the project.

Thanks a lot.

Hey @thoms94 the name "Moloch" referrers to a Poem written by Alan Ginsberg, it's mentioned extensively in these writings https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/

There is nothing "inherently" evil about Moloch DAO's it's simply a strong meme for get the community buzzing around. If you take offense to middle english, slightly impudent, or satanic imagery then this might not be a good place for you to hang out lol

@thoms94 everything and nothing is evil depending on how you use it. This is simply a tool. Purpose is in the hands of the end user.

Good point. This is why some people say we should be allowed to buy and sell enriched uranium on Amazon. After all, enriched uranium is just a tool, they say. What’s evil is what people do with it.

Oh wait. That would result in complete nuclear holocaust of all of mankind. Maybe there is something fundamentally wrong with your viewpoint. We should probably work to change it, if we like being alive.

Leave it to Ethereum devs to find history’s number one little baby pussy eater - the Moloch - and celebrate it with a 7 figure investments

Lol, however, there are at least a dozen platforms so there is no need for us to argue any longer.
