Can you explain about Dan being a CEO of a currency - and how it makes sense / where his funding comes from / what other employees there are of the company?
About 100 years ago - there were sub currencies for companies where they refused to pay employees cash but offered you "tokens" that could only be spent only at their stores . So they were able to monopolize on whatever they paid people. In that sense - I suppose the owner of the company issuing tokens was the boss / CEO of a currency ....
It's just a title, and can easily be changed (or removed)... He funds XC development from his own pocket & from the premine. I'm sure there are also private investors that contribute towards development as well.
