EOS Plummets After Block.one CTO Dan Larimer Resigns

2021-1-11 20:09

Dan Larimer announced his resignation as chief technology officer (CTO) of the crypto company, Block.one. The company is responsible for building an alleged “Ethereum killer” and earned over $4 billion during an ICO promising the same. 

Larimer: “All Good Things Must Come to an End”

In a brief blog post, the Block.one CTO thanked his colleagues and announced that he would be leaving the company to turn to build more censorship-resistant technologies. He said: 

“I have come to believe that you cannot provide ‘liberty as a service’ and therefore I will focus my attention on creating tools that people can use to secure their own freedom.”

Larimer has been with the company since 2017. At that time, the company raised a whopping $4 billion for an initial coin offering (ICO) to launch the EOS network. It was heralded as an improved version of Ethereum, with faster throughput and lower fees amidst a clogged ETH ecosystem. 

Despite its ambitions, these promises never materialized. EOS has become known for its centralization concerns, cost of use for developers, and collusion between block producers. 

Larimer also helped found one of the first-ever crypto exchanges, Bitshares, with Charles Hoskinson in 2013. 

After EOS and Bitshares, Larimer’s legacy also includes two blockchain-based social media platforms: Steemit and Voice. Steemit has since been acquired by Justin Sun of Tron, and Voice has yet to gain significant traction. 

Still, Larimer has alluded to his continued interest in blockchain-based social media platforms. His Twitter activity has suggested much of the same, criticizing the recent ban of President Trump.

The announcement has shaken EOS bag holders, dropping the token’s price by 13.9% in the last 24 hours. It’s currently trading at $3.12, according to CoinGecko.

Dan “The butterfly” Larimer is flitting from one token to another. After BitShares, Steemit and EOS, is he going to start another project?

Having a portfolio full of half-completed projects is a hallmark of bipolar disorder. People who can harness their energy when they are in a hypomanic phase can be really productive. Those who can’t often go from task to task, planning grand, unrealistic projects that are never finished before moving on to something else.
