Yeah, I figured we will never truly know what was or wasn't said between Ned and Justin. Having said that how can we form any conclusions either way about what was said?
We can know what they said because CEO's are simple ego-powered machines that are only interested in two things.
(1) MAKE MORE MONEY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE
(2) HUMILIATE COMPETITORS
We can know what they said because NOBODY (especially a CEO) would buy a property unless they could (EITHER) MAKE MORE MONEY QUICKLY (OR) HUMILIATE COMPETITORS.
We can know what they said because NOBODY (especially a CEO) would buy a property in order to "help build a community of idealistic rapscallions who believe in decentralized governance".
CEO = EXECUTIVE POWER = CENTRALIZED CONTROL
"Decentralized Governance" is anathema to their very existence on all levels.
CEO will crush anyone who questions them.
