> Why try to put a not even born yet business down if you are not even competing against it in the first place?
Because if we all just blindly praised every new business that came along and never gave them our true opinions we'd have a lot more bankruptcies than you have now (and that's saying something).
A large number of businesses fail because they have terrible ideas. If you think a business has a bad idea why shouldn't you be allowed to tell them that? Yes, there are businesses that succeed despite of everyone saying otherwise. Good for them - but they're the minority.
If you think your opinion on a message board carries 5 cents worth of weight to someone who has poured their heart and soul into a business idea, you're mistaken.
In other words, you or me calling an idea horrible on the Internet is not going to stop a bankruptcy. If Coin gets enough preorders they are going to build a product, whether it is a failure or not.
