Most investors in EOS tokens are incentivized to acknowledge at least 1 chain. The terms and conditions are pretty clear on what happens when no chain is successfully launched: tokens would be worthless and completely useless.
But you wouldn't want thousands of EOS chains either, that just about anyone can start one, it would destruct the forming of robust ecosystems with dapps.
Absolutely.
Allowing for multiple "official" EOS blockchains while protecting against unlimited, uncontroled use. That's pretty much the conclusion I've come to on this. Would you say that's a fair summary?
