I wish I had the image of Daniel Larimer in his local paper, but it said something to the effect that local resident raises $30 million worth of venture capital for Inviticus (I3) Corporation for new venture BitsharesX in 45 days.
I can't find the newspaper image or link, but what I can find is this:
https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/the-evolution-of-protosharesWhether it is $30 millon, or $25 million, or even $15 million, it's a significant amount of cash. Any pump and dump coin would have been long gone by now.
...and I'm going to make a statement that perhaps might annoy Stan, and yet make him proud at the same time.
Daniel Larimer is young enough to not to have his morals tainted by money. He truly wants to build something and produce and leave behind what he's promised and commissioned to do in his legacy.
So $30 million market cap or not, Daniel has the intelligence, cooperation, and support to really build BitShares into a real product.
This is more than karma and money. It's about showing the world what you can do, and I have total faith that Daniel Larimer (aka Bytemaster) can pull the team together.
He's already said they're looking towards 1st week of June for an announce. Anytime in June would make me happy.
