« on: March 25, 2015, 06:57:38 pm »Thank you Dan. Please continue your work and know that there is a large community of supporters who share you vision. We also share your desire to see BTS become a wild success!
There will always be a vocal minority, and they have their own role to play. Onward and Upward!
All I know is, I'm even more fired up about BitShares after hearing why Charles Hoskinson left. I missed all of that in the early days.
Could you summarize his reason again? I doubt he would EVER reveal the true reason he left.
CH said he was not interested in:
DACS
Volunteerism
Proving Austrian Economics
CH said he was more concerned with:
I3 Investors
Fiduciary Obligation
Growth
ROI
Quotes:
"The way Dan runs the company is that it is a referendum on his political philosophy."
"We're not here to prove Mises right or wrong, we are here to grow a company. So we kind of butt heads a lot and one of us had to go."
"By the way, Stan and Dan Larimer are some of the nicest people I have ever met in my life."
He went on to praise DPOS, bitUSD, DEX and paid delegates quite a bit.
If these points are in fact correct, I agree with CH on this. HIs focus is the more effective focus for the management of the organization in my opinion. I don't know what happened personally, but professionally I was concerned for BSTX when he left. He seemed to add a lot of solid business thinking, structure and strategy to the organization which we are currently sorely lacking. It seems like my concerns with his departure were quite well founded.
I'm by no means knowledgeable on CH or his achievements, but I do have the general impression that he becomes involved in the front end of projects but leaves prior to execution.
BTS is not unique in this regard, he did the same with ETH and some other platform.
I will certainly pay attention if CH ever sticks with a project through execution but in context I don't think his departure from BTS at the earliest stage of development has any real bearing on the viability of the platform.
