I appreciate the vote of confidence on our eventual success.

I can't predict the future. I'd like to say our answer won't change. If it does, we deserve to fail.

I get the feeling you are underestimating how difficult of a decision this is.

If you really care about doing the right thing down the line, I recommend thinking very long and very hard about it because, down the line if you do succeed, the time you have to take the decision will come and you will not be expecting it by then. Underestimating the situation is a sure-fire way to fail your own expectations.

Governments don't care about small startups with little reach. They will ask you when it's hard.

Well, it's not my call. I'm not a decisionmaker ;P
