1/ just a quick fact check on $EOS
- block.one raised four billion dollars for $EOS
- they’ve been spending millions on “venture investing” - giving $300M to Galaxy, $200M to AccelerateVC - presumably all at 2% AUM management fee + 20% profit share aka 2+20
2/ so those of you who “invested” in EOS, but didn’t actually invest because you have no legal rights to anything, here’s your money went:
- $1 billion, or 25 cents per 1$, to venture funds for the “ecosystem” where block.one is the ultimate LP or the GP
3/ the question is what happens to the remaining $3 billion:
- sexy, big name hires
- really great marketing and launch parties and community events
- ?
- making other protocols / networks, i hear @bytemaster7 is rolling out something new although $EOS is still WIP
4/ so i’m not surprised investors are chomping at the bit to put more money into block.one. really what they’re building is a money printing machine. a marketing and financial engineering engine.
5/ someone tell me what i’m getting wrong. genuinely curious and interested to hear how others frame this extreme cognitive dissonance.
