I am so excited to see Dan and the EOS team even thinking this way. It's a awesome to see such a high profile blockchain developer with such a high profile project, actually thinking about the people who really build these communities. They don't have to.
They know they could cash in to the tune of millions in minutes. However I think they genuinely understand that blockchain will just become another version of the current internet if power and resources get concentrated by the few, just like we see now with Amazon, Facebook, Google, etc.
Decentralized tech is not going to remain decentralized if the few control the vast amount of resources. Look at what is happening to bitcoin due to mining power concentration in the hands of one person?
Blockchain can be so much more than a cool technological leap. It has the power to build a better world. A more enlightened and just society for everyone on the planet. This is unprecedented in history.
I am glad to see such a visible company like EOS who understands this and is trying to preserve blockchain for all of us in their own way by supporting as distributed an ICO as they can imagine at this point in time. I will buy EOS for sure now.
Lovely comment. Agree on the transparency part. Can't wait to buy these gems. :)
