They just didn't want to deal with each states's restrictions. You can buy in the U.S. using a VPN for the ICO but exchanges and others are getting pressure with the various tokens and the SEC.
In regards to the statement about the tokens being useless. Technically it is correct. The token will not be used for anything. However, the token ledger will be used for stake in the EOS network storage/bandwidth. Block.one has committed to building EOS on the blockchain that the token holders agree upon.
The way I see it is akin to Steemit and Steem Power. You will control a portion of the network bandwidth which can be scaled to any size and in which an endless amount of apps/platforms can be built on. People are just haters. But in reading many of the same questions I sought out more info. Brendan Blumer answered some of my questions on Twitter to help clarify some of these concerns I had also.
I think the storage idea is huge (... and kills off MAID, storj and whatever)
Agree. And to have scalable storage control for a potential endless network... priceless
Looks like some solid progress is being made.
They are tearing it up!
Great news, than you for sharing.
September will be a month with a lot of news and EOS price should react strongly.
It should be a great catalyst. People are news hungry so I wonder how the price action will stick. I will be holding for the long haul.
Transparent update on status. Well received
Yes, the transparency is great!
