I appreciate you that you finally found the truth.
yes, not only EOS, but also Steem, BitShares are SCAM.
Even you can think this as such, Dan Larimer = SCAM
It is obvious scam becouse if he would be honest he would drive all to BTS at begining and no need for new ICO.
They need $$$ from naive people and that is all.
Be prepare for dumps or make your exit fast guys.
If you knew a decent amount about the tech side of things, you'd know why that isn't really possible. You can't rebuild a blockchain into something new once it's that established. Blockchain was a successful attempt at some of the ideas Dan had, but it's not the final vision. EOS isn't a blockchain service itself, it is merely open source software they are developing to allow OTHERS to create blockchains on, and if those people choose to use the ETH snapshot containing all our registered EOS tokens, then we all suddenly have currency on those blockchains.
Dan Larimer has contributed a lot of great tech to the industry, even Vitalik has used some of his technology for ETH... Are they getting wayyyy more money than they should for the project? Sure, but I'm not sure how people willingly giving them more money than they needed makes it a scam... The goals are still there, the work is being done on a public github and they are actively engaging with their community, which is a lot more than you can say about 99% of ICOs.
he does not need 1bln$ to code a blockchain.
this is why it is a scam.
1bn is like building a small country.
no way this is fair or necessary.
We gave them 1bn, they didn't ask for 1bn. We turned them into a scam buy giving them too much money? Do you not see how silly of an idea that is?
