Dig Space---My Solms attestation post was stupid. I regretted posting it. The latest PR clearly shows that Solms gets it. The more I see of him, the more I admire him.
You write: "It occurred to me that it couldn’t be the attestation idea that had you concerned (as obviously it is easy to see he has been addressing it for some time), but the lack of the word itself (which means nil to most), … and a lack of the leader getting all worked up into a sweaty lather and making wild irresponsible projections about revenues, timelines, market opportunity, engagement … you know, the standard undisciplined blather that it seems to me some require for anything to have actually been “discussed”.
You may call it "undisciplined blather", I prefer to call it PASSION.
Most Wave investors would agree with you regarding your assertion of SKS "...getting all worked up into a sweaty lather and making wild irresponsible projections about revenues, timelines, market opportunity, engagement."
I suppose primordial passion is required by those who intend to engage in paradigm shifts. His so-called "irresponsible projections" were always based on the assumption that a nice percentage of the billion TPMs would actually be turned on. If that happened would be in double digits and Sprague would be a hero to Wave investors. A nice percentage didn't happen. And so the demonization continues unabated.
This demonizing of Sprague is irresponsible and cartoonish. (by the way I don't think you've demonized him). The problem has been the TCG, not Sprague.
By the way, I happen to think that Solms and Sprague are on good terms. An earlier PR of a few days ago where are both generously being quoted suggests some level of mutual admiration. Also the fact that Wave disappeared from Trustonic only to be replaced a few days later by Sprague's Rivetz strongly suggests a joint coordination.
