Lol, so to the best of your inside knowledge you came up with that conclusion !! Answer me this, how do you think the application as it stands right now is funded ?
I for one think that whatever the god (Ethan) as you put it can make any decision he sees fit to develop the app to a success. As a supporter and an investor myself Im only look at the product development, use ability and success.
Remember in crypto as a whole, no one who launches a project twists anyones arm to invest, thats your decision to make by yourself. Trying to manipulate teams, devs and founders by scare mongering and increasing either your position or getting a higher price so you can sell will just not work at this stage.
Either support the product if you like it or move along
