well, it shouldn't be a great surprise - wonder if anyone read this post of Dan
Daniel Larimer - Co-Founder of BitShares & Steemit
and paid attention eg to these points in the Social Lessons part:
Centralized exchanges have been accepted and are no longer in danger of being shut down. In other words, the problem I set out to solve [with BitShares] became almost a non-issue.
This maturing perspective caused me to diverge from many of people who were originally attracted to BitShares.
So while Dan has no problems mentioning his role of the BitShares' & Steem creator (for his own good), he does not feel and have any obligations toward his creatures
I don't blame him. A project or a company isn't the work of one man. If the community and rest of the founding team see the project differently than he does, then something has to give. From what I've heard about EOS, we're not going to need BitShares for anything -- like Dan said.
so do I :) but we have to keep that in mind following Dan's projects
