Please keep in mind that this person is an Ethereum developer and has a vested financial interest in seeing their Ethereum tokens appreciate in value. This may be a conflict of interest and cloud up the actual technical merits of Ethereum.<p>I find it a bit disingenuous that this is not being disclosed, considering that there are numerous Ethereum competitors (primary, Bitcoin with SegWit, coming 2016, and Storj, Maidsafe).
