EOS Controversy/Advice???

As soon as I heard about the EOS ICO I tried to jump on board. How could I not? I was just a fresh fish in these crypto seas. The tides were rising and EOS looked like a school of juicy mackerels. Despite my lack of experience I did my due diligence and read the white paper. 2 of my ether coins later and many people are crying 'foul' and posting about how the EOS token is "worthless". When I read the whitepaper I dismissed the lines in question as legalese. Did I jump the gun? If so, where the fuck can I sell my EOS tokens? Has Dan Larimer addressed this?

I realize people have posted on this before but I haven't found any real answers. Also I'm brand new to this site and new to cryptos in general so don't bust my balls mmkay?
