Dudess (or dudette?), judging by the general tone of your message, you must be an Einstein in disguise. Apparently your IQ is so high they threw you out of Mensa in order not to give the other members inferiority complex. We get that.

However, I, mere mortal, would like to present to you a bunch of reasons why I think your notion of intellectual superiority might be a little unfounded. Just off the top of my head:

a. This team did TWO ICOs, raising how many tens of millions? How many did the dev get? Is he even on salary?

I’m asking because all this money — why is it there? Why did they need so much when the dev gets nothing at all? Why did they build an ICO around him when he was adamantly against that and wasn't even on the team?

So, Zack launches the mainnet. You get your AE. What happens then? Will the marketing power of Mr. Yanislav Georgiev Malahov and his band of marketeers be enough to support the coin price? The market cap? How will you put tens of millions of dollars value into this thing when virtually no money goes into development? Or are you going to dump your AE when it gets listed?

b. Zack terminated his relations with Augur when they tried to cheat him. In this case it seems that this Ocean’s Eleven setup works, keeping Zack glued to the project and the community mesmerized. Just pray Zack doesn't wake up and realise he’s being cheated again.

c. The “team”. If the band are so exceptionally greedy and unscrupulous, who is to say they are not going to dump their AE?

Do you realize how fucked up this whole story is, and on how many different levels? That is to say, I believe Zack is a saint and he really tries to make the world a better place. Wish someone else with a different set of moral principles had found him and his technology and provided the right kind of support.

I appreciate how you registered your Medium profile for just this one single comment in my blog. However, you have to understand that stating the obvious for (marketing?) people like you takes up a portion of my time, which you are not compensating me for. I only responded to you because you called me an idiot, and I couldn't resist the temptation to prove that it’s actually the other way round.

If you have any ties to Aeternity “team” please tell them I don’t want to see their marketing staff and cheerleaders here again. Otherwise, next time we’ll be talking about fiat and Switzerland. Comprende?
