Listing facts that happened at the time (so only relevant to the members of government at the time) is not "painting a picture".

It is stating facts that are now known to be 100% correct, as stated:

How many hours, weeks, months and cumulatively YEARS of work hours were put into EOS by people who are in our Steem governance?

Seriously, think about it.

How would all this go down in the "real word"?

What would company owners be doing to those who were in bed with the competition?

THINK ABOUT IT!

My point is crystal clear.

Dan never hid the fact that he was out to get as many Steemians as possible to become a part of EOS.

Dan never hid his intentions as far as making EOS = outright competition to Steem.

Hats off to him for his up front statements in the public arena.

So, the statement I made stands:

The number of work hours put into EOS by many Steemians who were directly involved with the overall governance of Steem (top 20 in general) were work hours put into our competition and not into Steem.

That is an undeniable fact.

Not to mention the fact about comparing these types of business dealings with the business dealings of the "real world" markets.

That too is crystal clear how many things are just a rerun of all the corruption seen in the "real world" markets to date.

Who wants to see it can, who wants to believe in used car salesman pitches or politician like speeches is also welcome to do so.

Which again confirms that what is seen here is actually not all that different to the "political" scenes of various governments anywhere.
