I agree there's a good team behind this coin but why use an Etherum clone?

Because ETH is on the death bed and need another huge financial aid or BTC to go to 1000.
With EXP DAO all the sallaries are in EXP thus motivating people to hold and price to reach sustainable levels.
The guys building this coins are legit and good to talk.

But the they have to sell EXP to make a living.
If it comes to the point of selling EXP to make a living, then anyone buying now will be in some massive profits later, as our marketcap would have to be vastly higher for that to happen.
(I do own a small business, and Franko and Dan also have other sources of income) -- If Expanse does reach a point where it can sustain lots of developers working on it full time, then that will be amazing and the experiment will be a success. Not only for our team, but for all of those working with us and building it up. That is our goal of course, but nobody has to worry about us selling to make a living unless Expanse becomes a huge success, and if that happens then everyone involved would already be pretty happy about it.
