Bro
I'm a bit tipsy, but again this is general idea
Drak has worked on VIA and he is continuing to work on VIA. He didnt bail. THE so called IPO was actually a PRESALE. So far the tech has been delivered, and he is delivering constantly.
Being a presale, all the funds are belonging to him, and he will use them as he sees fit.
Also, if you guys feel that VIA is a lost cause, then please drop your bags, I'm waiting to buy even more bags at 300 satoshis because i believe in the tech, and if this goes anywhere, the Risk/Reward is huge. I can fucking spend $1000 to invest in a project and not give a shit. This can easily go 10X if a company accepts its blockchain or something crazy like that. So i'm willing to risk 1K USD to make 10K USD. if you cant, plz drop bags and gtfo
