There is no freedom if you depend on something. Especially if it is person. However marvelous he is.
I'm selling my 100k, not because it is not profitable anymore, but because I saw how dangerous it is to be dependent on another.
Guys, please, question authority.
That is fair enough. Dependency on a particular person or central team is a weakness, but the network supporting it is dencentralized (DPOS) and it's an evolving system. As it evolves it should give more and more power to stakeholders to vote on features/changes, and be less dependant on the direction of one leader (BM). Given more time BTS should become strong enough, with its fingers in multiple industries, to survive leadership changes and become a "true" DAC. It will grow in multiple directions with different teams around the world working on different features, if the delegates, as chosen by the stakeholders, approve their inclusion. This combining means the rocket is well fuelled for launch and able to enter a stable orbit, where it's flight path is self-sustaining.
Even bitcoin was completely dependant on the core devs while it was being developed, and it can't evolve to survive anywhere near as well as BTS can.
Best of luck.
