Reading your points its even more evident this is just an attempt to get as much money as possible. There is no actual emphasis on the tech or emphasis on the model EOS is attempting. Quite honestly - EOS with this token sale is basically telling the world, buy Eth. Its good. We failed already with bitshares ... pretty sure we will fail again with EOS ... so we want you to pay us in Eth .. because Eth good.
How exactly is this rational thinking? BTS is a great platform, so is steem. Please don't abandon your own creatures for profits.
Ironically ... if and I am sure it will ... the EOS ICO goes well - you will have proved absolutely nothing, and made Ethereum even bigger than it is today.
This will help clear things up for you.
You see only the first layer, ETH bleeds to death through this year
