He may not be clear of Twitter enough to do something like this. I’m wondering if a public action like that coukd open him up to some legal jeopardy. Just a guess.

Yeah, seeing these texts where a board member discussed starting a competitor certainly raised my eyebrows

He also plainly stated that the thing he wants to start is a protocol, not a company, so it is hard to class it as “a competitor” in the traditional sense.
Does gmail compete with smtp?

Your anti-cryptocurrency bias is blinding you to the fact that neither party to these conversations needs or wants any more money than they have presently.
When you're a multibillionaire and you're still building new shit from scratch, you build to build. Monetary gains are a side effect.
