Valid points all buuuuuut ... from my reading on ICOs (since I don't have the funds to get all up in that like I wish I could have. So much dumb money ...), EOS is far from the first to promise faaaaar ahead of delivery.
Thus, given the fact that we are currently having this discussion on Steemit (you know, the track-record-establishing non-scam platform created by the aforementioned Dan), I am willing to more than give Larimer the benefit of the doubt.
