Might be his ambition! A few months ago it was "marketing is on!"; now, it's "open blockchain isn't really taking off, so I'm going to focus on corporate and government uses, and only me and my rich mates will be able to invest in this new project."

Who do you think he's more likely to screw over - the plebs holding Waves or his newfound rich friends holding Vostok?

He has a moral obligation to make Waves a success before moving on to another project. His new project has nothing to do with bringing synergy to Waves. I didn't realize that when he said "marketing is on", he meant propaganda for Waves holders in order to pull the wool over their eyes.
