Dan Larimer by many accounts is a genius.
He has been in Crypto a long long time and is well known in the space as someone who helped launch 3 projects in the Top ~ 20 Crypto's these days:
-- Bitshares, then Steem/Steemit and now his EOS project.
His philosophies on securing Life, Liberty and Property for humanity are just great.
The more I learn about Dan, the more I like him.
