He couldn't give a sh*t about the devs or the fortunes of the coin contrary to what people may believe. He's clueless about the nature of the project, the people behind it, their priorities, who it's trying to benefit or why and he isn't interested in finding out before taking great pleasure in detonating a landmine under their noses.
This is a secondary concern.
the proof is in the blockchain: its weaknesses, and its flaws. if you don't address the issues now, "the project, the people behind it, their priorities, who it's trying to benefit..." is based on a sack of bullshit with holes in it.
if the coin's fundamentally flawed, then i would recommend "the people behind it, their priorities, who it's trying to benefit..." switch to a cryptocurrency that is more competent.
if you really want a nation's value to depend on an exploit, there's always USD.
