Glad to see this response. I lost respect for Charles and the Cardano project after seeing him, multiple times, essentially shilling Cardano in the Bitshares Telegram group as if he's doing the community there a favor.
Then, he posts a link to a YouTube live "AMA" (interview with youtuber) and he claims 1) he can't comment on EOS because he doesn't follow it nor read up on it (I smell stinky bullshit)... and 2) he claims bitUSD as a "wonky failed experiment" or something like that. Ummm.... bitUSD (and its sibling bitassets / smartcoins) are about to take Bitshares to the moon.
(shout out to the mods there, who went on to ban him from that group :)
All this academic talk being tossed around by Charles is funny. Academia is well known for doing research, for the sake of research, and not commercializing or transferring that IP into the real world.
The fact that their market cap is ~4x EOS right now after the insane pump recently only justifies a much higher price point for EOS.
CH cannot bring himself to acknowledge the work of others. He touts standards for peer review, research and acknowledgment yet blatantly falls short of observing those standards himself.
