The story of Swan will go down in Bitcoin history. Had a great first mover advantage, awesome marketing, celebrity and sports endorsements. Founder who had a big presence on social media. Everything going right but then they dreamed of going public and started focusing on that mission instead of what got them to the dance. Sad. Hopefully they get back on track. But let it be a lesson to all.
It makes me think of SN and while I would like SN to fly a little closer to the sun, I respect the path k00b is taking.

Wouldn't it be further away from the sun (i.e., safer, not getting consumed by hubris)?

It's early, my friend! Lots left to be written :)
Being a public company lends credibility to a financial services business, making it significantly more attractive to partners and clients around the world. It's a MASSIVE p.i.a., and not something I've personally ever wanted, but it's super clear that the positive impact we can have on Bitcoin adoption would be multiplied significantly if we take on that burden.
