Crypto is definitely a bubble. Perhaps one of the biggest bubbles to burst when this happens four to five years from now.

I know you are being facetious, but it really is not as simple as putting out a roadmap. Think about it: If you could pull this off, but are not doing it, you'll have us believe you are willingly turning down millions. If you can't pull it of, your comment becomes a cheap meaningless jab at things bigger than you. Both options are quite unbefitting of HackerNews.

It's not a question of turning down free millions of dollars. There is risk. If he puts his face on the operation he could be the subject of lawsuits if or when it blows up. It's also possible but very expensive to do an ICO and not violate securities laws. So he either puts fourth the massive time and capital to do it legally or he risks heavy fines and lawsuits. The lawsuits will probably come no matter what.
