Guys, get a grip. It's a PR article for the greater world, not the immediate Lisk community. It's not like they made a big deal about it,(or even announce it) or tried to hide ownership. A germany company was probably needed for legal reasons, to funnel through salaries, etc.
The artice is just a PR spin on this simple fact, because why not, have to keep the brand alive, it's better to use such events for PR purposes than simply dropping a line in the weekly summary like -made german company to make management easier".
It's a PR article.
But my humble opinion: this article is misleading.
And these are the reactions:
Good news. Wow, that sounds exciting !And also for the greater world Lisk needs something better PR.
