Hey everyone; I'm the coinaday referred to in the post. I'm mostly on Reddit but also trying Steemit out sometimes. Jybrael / kyrios pointed this out to me and so I wanted to note a few slight corrections.
Withdrawal from Cryptsy worked for NYAN up to almost the very end if not the end (with a glitch or two) because they had enough NYAN. So not everyone got stuck on there.
It wasn't a couple years later I started with it (and actually before the Cryptsy going down part); it was just about exactly a year after it was created. It was created in January 2014; I got started with it January 2015.
Also, I definitely did get in with the idea of making a profit; it's just that making a profit was secondary to learning, having fun, and sticking to certain core principles (like being honest). And you're right that it was about not being focused on doing it quickly. But I understand the point you're making there that it wasn't the primary reason.
Also, in that spirit, I would caution that it is possible for the coin to go away (although I think we have a solid core so that it won't happen; it is possible that it would), and certainly possible that it won't go up (although I do think it is likely to since the price seems relatively low). See also my risks post: https://www.reddit.com/r/nyancoins/comments/6iqo4v/overview_of_major_risks_in_buying_nyancoins/ The concept of that page is to be like the risks disclosure in a 10k (annual report mandated for publicly traded companies in the US). It's the third version of that; I try to do one every year or half year or so.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask here (although I'm not on too often), or even better, come on over to /r/nyancoins and introduce yourself and ask away!
@coinaday, thank you for correcting and clearing out a few things. Well what I meant with not being profit driven is the fact that people that have invested into the coin aren't in it for short term goals.
