Well said! As regards Brock Pierce, i totally dont care about his private live, i was rather referring to his early dotcom-activities, dumping the company and exciting with the money, which makes like a very very bad example for today, especially with an ico where you need to acknowledge, the token you are buying in has no function whatever.
Steemit now is a perfect example that EOS can well be able to deliver on the promises, there is a community and bp producer candidates and everything. After all when it is about investment, it is critical to do your due diligence and especially check out every possible weakness part of which is the team that makes that promise and the way the project is about to be delivered. Dont get me wrong, i feel EOS is a strong project, but not without issues, and that needs to be considered if you look at it as an investment. Well at least, that's my approch :-)
