Before folks start in on the "exit scam" narrative about @bytemaster7 ... the man delivered the EOSIO software as promised and then stuck around two more years
Not really sure how anyone could call that a rug pull voice.com/post/@dan/resi…
Also everybody loving the current DAO renaissance should note that most folks credit Larimer (and Charles Hoskinson, also, I think) for first articulating the concept of a DAO letstalkbitcoin.com/is-bitcoin-ove…
Further, as I understand it, @block_one_ is Blumer's company, not Larimer's
So it's not @bytemaster7's responsibility to stay forever
Reading the subtext here, Larimer *might* be tacitly granting the critique so many have made that DPoS doesn't deliver censorship resistance
It seems like maybe this has been brewing for a while. I viewed his blog consolidation in October as potentially a signal that he had finally bought into the full self-sovereign ideal moreequalanimals.com/posts/consolid…
Or maybe he just sees an opportunity in setting up an alternative cloud infrastructure but that will be run with DPoS too somehow... guess we'll see

We've been critical of the "governance token" language too. Sometimes we call them "growth tokens," especially early on
Because that's the real purpose in the beginning
Also agree that the "community" language is somewhat silly.
I don't know if Cronje would agree but I think it's a bit Orwellian
