This is by design I think. I don't think he was planning to manage all of it 10 years from the starting point. Deliver MVP (min value product) and let other smart people run with it, Keep it on rails so to speak, and then let it grow. I think it worked out pretty well though. Personally I would do the same thing. Plus there is personal security factor of pissing off all the banks and money printing governments in the world...lol
