And last but certainly not least: How would you get the support of the community -that you need to maintain the strength of the network-, while at the same time lining up your pockets through the formation of a CENTRALIZED, 100% PRIVATE, FOR-PROFIT corporation?

Now why would you not want to see a for profit company that supports and develops the ardr ignis and nxt not flourish? As a community member I can say they have my full support. I got my free stake of ardr from snapshot and both ardr and nxt are doing more than well. For crypto a for-profit real corporation seems to be one of the most efficient ways to enter the fintech sector.
Your rant does not make any sense unless you have some strong ideological reason for not supporting Jelurida. I'm here for profit not for ideology or crypto-religion. And I'm happy with results and it seems to only get better and better.
I must not have been clear enough: I am in this for profit, like you, AND because I firmly believe in a decentralized monetary system. I also believe I have supported, with my investment, the team whose mission it is -I was led to believe- to work for ME, FOR US, in NXT or whatever else they decide to call future evolution of the project. That was the AGREEMENT. It definitely was not that I would subsidize or otherwise support their private endeavors. You get me? They are, of course, more than free to pursue those endeavors away from the NXT project, in the private sector -and I would very deeply question the ethics of that-, but to do so taking advantage of the supporters and investors in NXT? Mighty devious in my view.
You see, it may sound "fair" to give everyone one for one. But when you decide the moment of the announcement so you can load up on the cheap because no one knows your scheme and then, when the scheme works, you dump because you know it's going to be worthless and obsolete while you rack up the dough and string the community with the promise to give it some crumbs on your next scheme, which will be worth very, very little, that's not really being in the up and up, is it?
Or maybe it's that I'm rather peculiar that way, what do you think?
