RE: Understanding EOS

I'm holding some EOS myself mainly because of Dan's involvement in the project however I must admit that I'm pretty worried how it is going to end. My main concern is that giving that there is 1 billion tokens distributed before the project is even launched and life. That at current rate of let's say 1.8USD for argument's sake is 1.8 billion USD which is pretty much pure profit for Dan and his team. So tell me how motivated would you have to be to keep working on a project when you have millions of dollars already in your pocket which you could live rest of your life in luxury with? As much as I believe in Dan thought keeps popping up in my head from time to time...
