you are obsessed with drk. glad i am not an xmr investor
Oh my, Block-o-Feta, you said the "i" word! Here's a hint: there are no XMR "investors". Monero is a medium of exchange and a store of value. If individuals purchase units of Monero they do not directly enrich me or the rest of the core team. We can argue that there is indirect enrichment, because every Monero contributor undoubtedly holds a small stash of Monero, but it is far from...say...5% of the total emission that was instamined in a day. Investors do not pay our salaries.
On the other hand, we are also acutely aware that we are in a position of stewardship by virtue of the community. After all, when thankful_for_today chose to ignore what the community wanted it was us who took stewardship away from him, so the same could happen to us. The fact that we are still around a year later means that
the community thinks we're doing ok. In other words, our position of stewardship is only by virtue of the community at large, and our "authority" is relative. We are not beholden to "investors", we are beholden to the community at large regardless of how much Monero they own (and sometimes don't own).
Which is why I find terms like "investor", or anything describing our role as if we were upper management, quite laughable. We are unpaid volunteers, placed in relative authority, pushing a profoundly technologically interesting project forward...because sometimes the pursuit of mathematics or science or medicine or art or music is more important than making money.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
