RE: To the critics of @ned et al, please get behind the Development Team.
I'm pretty sure his departure was due to a deep philosophical dispute rather than a panicked bailout due to the price of Steem or the Whale Experiment shenanigans.
Either way, from my perspective, he was the main developer and just quit after many people had invested a lot of money. IMO, he had a responsibility to them as he went on radio promoting the product etc. He also got into conflict with users on the site over philisophical issues. I would expect someone in such a position to be more responsible and refrain fom such activities. He quit Bitshares, makes me wonder if that was philisophical. I hear people saying they hope he gets involved with another project so they can invest more into those projects, why? You don't hear Zuckerburg and the like acting out like this. I don't think I implied it was a panick move or due to the experiment.
Please don't get me wrong, I have no hard feelings towards Dan, i wish him only good things going forward. However, I do feel his approach to business is a floored one. In no way do I question his technical prowess, I am amazed by these clever programmers.
