I bought a few of the EOS ERC-20 tokens because of the trust that Larimer has gained with Bitshares and Steemit and, with that, the reputation built within the crypto community. But I am aware that ANY investment in a future technology (such as EOS) is an absolute risk. I only invest what I am willing to lose, but, as you said in the video, I stand by the hope that the EOS brass will recognize us (when the time comes) and reward us accordingly.
