here i thought you guys had USE cases for the LSK in the future, turns out its "vega style" instead. you wanted it to dump on a pump
great...
What did you think, that our plan to hold Lisk forever? Why would anyone hold anything forever, let alone currency? That just doesn't make sence.
As for Lisk use cases, Ark and individual ark team members don't necessary have the exact same goals and interests.
Ark has no business or intention building anything on the Lisk blockhain. It's whole premise is taking another development direction, away from side-chains. That is what funds are gathered for. It doesn't mean Ark and Lisk can't cooperate (both teams and chains) but one doesn't have anything to do with the other.
The same can't be said for individuals. While cannabanana was rather vocal about his dislike of Lisk and it's management, it's not ARK teams offical stand on the issue. (I think that would be that we don't have one and remain silent on Lisks releated matters.) Personal opinions about Lisk releated issues both technical and personal vary amongst the team members. Most are on the middle and simply want to support and use both and won't be dragged into all this bickering even if they have some opinions on one subject or another.
About use cases for Lisk. I have detailed plans for a sidechain app since the beginning of Lisks ICO, it's detailed with a whitepaper half written, and still intend to make it happen when Lisk is ready for such thing. (It's still not) Others in the Ark team may have similar plans, no idea. But this has nothing to do with ARK or ARK TEC.
