Thanks for the comment, and I appreciate your honesty. When we say "1% of Nothing", it means (and generally has been assumed by most) that it refers to when the company starts. Clearly once the company has traction, it's not worth "nothing".

But the thing is - the name is to provoke an emotion. First it's to make you realize that you still keep 99% of your company, or even just 99% of the shares that you've been granted. Second it's to point out that at the early stages, it really is worth basically nothing on paper. Obviously there's far more value in it than that, but we're trying to stir up a reaction - good or bad - that can prompt a thought.
