Hey Rich :),
This post was originally published on my blog the day the ICO launched (about a year ago), so that is what I meant by Tezos launching "today". I do not have any inside knowledge on beta-net launch though given current info it seems beta-net is about 2-3 months away.

I appreciate your position regarding EOS, it is definitely an interesting project. I do agree with you about Ethereum possibly being replaced by a superior project, but my guess is that would take years as Ethereum is heavily entrenched with large industry partnerships which would be hard to replicate. In the end though my interest in Tezos was financial, and the fundamentals were and are there to justify an investment, even though they are heavily delayed.

Thanks for commenting :)
