Your confusion is my confusion. 😂
Sometimes we over analyze too. It's hard to say sometimes where to draw the line. I like to think that where there are answers, the confusion gets cleared up. Sometimes answers are hard to come by due to communication issues. Other times it's outright obfuscation. The latter never gets cleared up, while the former eventually becomes clear. I think we're working with the latter in this case and am slowly beginning to understand. Things really look quite reasonable and well balanced to me.
To answer your question, I think the American exclusion is only for the ICO period, but I'm not 100% sure.
Check this out, @cryptographic. Don't know if you've come across it. It was only built recently, tho, by a steemian.
Thank you for that. It sounds like they plan to operate on an EOS blockchain that will be a common blockchain used by all EOS DAC's, each being block producers. That seems logical, and would be even more so if there was a "core" EOS community supporting that blockchain, but with the blockchain needing to be "boot strapped" by an outside, independent entity, one wonders if that will be the start of a common chain that others will be able to join as equals, or a completely autonomous chain in and of itself.
