Leads to question if we really need a leadership for bitshares .. who is strat. leader of nxt?
The Bitshares software ecosystem, once launched, does not need a CEO, nor is Daniel it's CEO.
Daniel is the CEO of Invictus Innovations, which is a virginia based real life corporate entity that has investors and is the trustee of funds invested via angelshares. There will always be a CEO of Invictus, but it wasn't always and doesn't always need to be Daniel whose skills seem better suited for other roles.
Right, that's why I said it is also my preference to see strategic leadership, however the way Dan works (and most developers are like that Dan is no exception) is that he does iterations of trial and error which is very agile and can produce amazing results. However in an agile environment you can't really force it "strategically" as much, since the only way to advance is through the projects natural progression.
Also why if I was running this project I would make sure people like Dan can cooperate and compete at the same time and just have fun in the lab. While their result is being used in a more strategic manner.
In fact I can still do that, since everything all these coins and developers invent is open source. I'm in a wait and see mode at the moment.
