Dollars, schmollars. The project is not about money. What’s at stake here is a whole new world order. “Stick it to the man!”
But I do agree that the word “soon” is being used unnecessarily. It’s the sort of crypto marketing talk I disagree with, and I think it might actually be bad from a marketing perspective. Tentative roadmaps are good, but “soon” doesn’t really mean anything, especially when it comes to researching and developing something that has never been done before.
