You are crazy off in your calculations, 36 million to support how many guys for how many years and that is not excessive? We are living in two different worlds because I'm sure any venture capitalist would tell these guys to blow off if they presented them with the investment numbers they are asking from the public. You are acting as if this coin will actually survive in the long run. Every coin forum I have been to has a group of devs that think they have the best and innovative tech. You know what? There will be more coins and even better tech next month from the next group and so on and so on. If ANY coin survived in the long run it would make a 100M investment look cheap, that is a very lame apologist explanation. The chances of any coin to surviving besides bitcoin after the crypto hype is over is slim to none. This coin and every coin before and after it is a long long long shot to survive when the crypto hype dies. You can take all the technology you want and nobody cares except for tech nerds. The only thing people care about in coins is the ability to transfer money anonymously and liquidity liquidity liquidity. What good is a coin if you cant cash it out, I dont care what tech is behind it.
You're right. We should never think of anything ever again. This is the furthest humanity will ever go, and we've reached it. Let's shut down everything. Ideas are scary, and they're risky, and that's why we do them. I think it's cool that these guys are at least trying to do something interesting. That's all there is to it. It's novel, they're delivering code, and they're open about things. That's cool to me.
