Some of my posts upset part of the internet-computer:native community, but you know, if you had been following me for the past few years, you would know that my story and my opinion about certain people in this ecosystem have not really changed. The only difference is that some of the things I said before have now proven to be true, and more people than before are starting to see things they unfortunately didn’t see earlier. My opinion of ICP has not really changed since I first started following its development. I still believe ICP is a phenomenal project and deserves far more attention. I don’t want to be some kind of influencer, nor do I want to monetize my social media content, so what I post is simply my opinion... and I have every right to express it. Whenever I’ve made serious claims, I’ve always provided evidence, and I don’t think I’ve ever accused someone of something they didn’t actually do. I absolutely do not hate anyone in this or any other community, but whenever I have the time, I will always fight for the truth. I also have every right to express my opinion about Jerry, who has a long history of manipulative and dishonest behaviour, and I have solid evidence for that which I’ve posted more than once. Yet there is always someone who comes along and says, “this project sucks” or “I don’t like it,” and suddenly that gives Jerry full permission to shit all over that project and its developers... even when what he says is false. There is no point arguing with people like that, and they certainly don’t deserve to be treated kindly. I also want to address marketing in ICP. Yes, ICP needs marketing. But marketing is not a process where the community simply decides what should be promoted and how, because, with all due respect, very few people actually understand what marketing is or how complex it is. What many people seem to think marketing means is simply having a bunch of people shill ICP, with no audience targeting whatsoever, as long as as many videos as possible are pumped out and as many impressions as possible are generated. And impressions are pushed to the front because anyone with half a brain understands that actual views matter far more. But even video content itself is only one small part of marketing. Marketing is a much broader discipline. Some people, like Alex, actually produce video content that is worth watching, and I have to admit that I like his style even though we disagree on many things. Now let’s get to what I actually have a problem with. I will never — and I mean never — accept people like Jerry and Bobby as the faces of ICP. I’ve already said this a thousand times. Both of them are full of toxicity, arrogance and ego — exactly the kind of traits marketing does not tolerate well. One of them has spent years making videos about other projects supposedly going to zero, speaking against meme coins, and is now behaving in complete contradiction to what he spent all those years preaching. On top of that, he is unstable in his character and behaviour, and people like that have no place anywhere near serious marketing. Sure, at times he can be funny or entertaining, but that does not erase all the bad things he has done over the years. The other one constantly tries to drag people into debates where he presents himself as intellectually superior and everyone else as inferior. He keeps pushing his own narrative without really listening to what anyone else has to say, and then wonders why nobody wants to debate him. Relax, man. You’re not Crypto Jesus. I’m sure both of them have introduced some people to ICP. But it is also obvious that we are still a very small community, and their actual impact is nowhere near as significant as they seem to believe it is. At the same time, they also damage the ecosystem through their toxic behaviour. On the other hand, after listening to one of Jerry’s latest videos and reading some of the comments from others, I’m now hearing that DFINITY should apparently start following the same path as networks like Solana... the same Solana people used to accuse of bribery, dishonesty and deceptive marketing. Now suddenly Solana’s marketing is amazing. I believe ICP can succeed without playing those kinds of dirty games. And some people have made a very important observation. Jerry is sick and needs professional help, and everyone who keeps encouraging and reinforcing his behaviour and decisions he makes is probably doing him more harm than I am by criticizing him. This text is polished by ChatGPT... mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Good ideas don’t need more noise. They need a better route to the people who might care. @clownitx helps build that bridge. ⚡ $ICP

Cypherpunk was never supposed to mean handing your identity, content, audience and history to a platform you don’t control. @TAGGRsocial takes a different approach. Fully on-chain on $ICP. Censorship-resistant publishing. Journals, Realms, tipping, governance, and personal storage that puts more responsibility — and more ownership — in the hands of the user. If you’re a real cypherpunk, stop renting your voice. Own your signal. #TAGGR

Some people build bridges; others tear them down. You know what I mean, right ? $ICP $ADA

Most projects don’t have an attention problem because the product is bad. They have one because the message never leaves the circle that already knows them. That’s the gap @clownitx can help close. A campaign gives creators something worth picking up, reshaping, and carrying into communities the project may never reach on its own. That’s where new conversations start and where attention can turn into discovery. Not more noise. Better paths between good ideas and the people who might actually care. Bridge the attention. $ICP

One campaign can be the first domino. @clownitx helps turn attention into movement — and movement into momentum. ⚡ internet-computer:native

"NOT one is honest, only Jerry was" Besides the fact that I’ve exposed Jerry’s lies and manipulation about a hundred times by now, this absolute gem could only come from a truly brilliant mind. $ICP

Looks like Operation Saving Private @Yral_app didn’t quite work out. At least on my end, the app no longer gets past the opening screen. The YRAL logo just keeps looping forever. The last mobile app update was July 24, 2026. From what I can see, the YRAL X account went silent at the end of July, @Rishi__Chadha stopped talking about it even earlier, and @saikatdas0790 hasn’t exactly been flooding the timeline with YRAL updates either. The July 24 app update is still the latest one listed on Google Play. So after all this time, can we finally write: R.I.P. YRAL ⚰️ Or are we still waiting for the next explanation of why everything is actually going according to plan? What makes this particularly funny to me is that I spent months questioning the numbers surrounding this project. In May, Saikat publicly stated approximately 4,000 daily active users, 100,000 monthly active users and 1 million downloads. In the same discussion he also said YRAL had reached one million Play Store downloads. Today the Google Play listing shows 500K+ downloads and around 795 reviews. Maybe there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for that difference. But this is exactly why I kept asking questions instead of blindly repeating marketing numbers. Back when those huge user figures were being pushed, I was already pointing out how difficult they were to reconcile with what we could actually observe: tiny participation in tournaments compared with the claimed user base, very little visible organic engagement, a surprisingly small number of store reviews, and hundreds of thousands of ICP canisters that were repeatedly presented as evidence of scale. I said at the time that creating a profile, generating a canister or registering an install does not automatically mean you have an actual active human user. Rishi and some other people on the DFINITY forum and here on X argued with me about it. Then, months later, YRAL announced that it was cleaning up the old infrastructure and removing the individual user canisters it no longer needed. Their own explanation was that they had moved away from the per-user-canister architecture and were now paying down technical debt. When that happened, I asked some very simple questions: How many individual user canisters were actually created? How many represented active users? How many were empty? How many were going to be deleted or reused? How many cycles were sitting inside them, how much would be recovered, and where exactly would those cycles go? Instead of those numbers, the answer was essentially that producing that information comprehensively would require building analytics that did not further YRAL’s user-acquisition or retention goals. And that was always my problem with YRAL. Not that they experimented. Startups experiment. Not that architectures change. Of course they do. Not even that a product can fail. Most startups fail. It was the constant gap between the enormous narrative and the observable reality. May I call this manipulation and lying ? Hundreds of thousands of canisters. Massive scale. One million downloads. 100K monthly active users. And now I’m staring at a yellow lightning bolt spinning in an infinite loop. Maybe YRAL comes back tomorrow and proves this entire obituary premature. Fine. I’ll happily update the tombstone. But until then… Saving Private YRAL: mission failed - and more than One Million internet-computer:native gone ! R.I.P. YRAL. ⚡🪦 And this time, please don’t count the bots attending the funeral.

Set the chain reaction. One campaign can put your project in front of the right people, trigger real conversations, and turn scattered attention into momentum. That’s what @clownitx is built for... giving projects a way to activate the community instead of just hoping the algorithm notices them. $ICP

TAGGR is still waiting for you, Dom. 😄 But honestly, this goes far beyond one person. If you create, write, photograph, build communities, document your work or simply want a place where your content is actually yours, @TAGGRsocial is worth a serious look. Fully onchain on internet-computer:native. Censorship-resistant publishing. Journals. Realms. Tipping. Personal storage canisters. A social network where ownership is more than a line in the marketing copy. @dominic_w once said #TAGGR could become something very special. Maybe more people should stop waiting for someone else to prove it first.

So, let me show you how to create HYPE out of almost nothing. Open a 5-minute chart, stretch those candles as much as humanly possible, and suddenly a fucking 3% move looks like a 100% pump. Voilà — “BREAKING.” 😂

Builders shouldn’t need to become influencers just to be noticed. @clownitx helps put the work in front of people who might actually care. $ICP

Some of the people building the most interesting things in crypto are also the worst at making noise about themselves. They’re writing code, fixing bugs, shipping updates — not spending half the day turning every milestone into a marketing campaign. That’s why visibility matters. @clownitx gives projects a way to reach creators who can help tell that story for them, without forcing every developer to become an influencer just to get noticed. Good builders shouldn’t have to shout louder than everyone else. They just need a fair chance to be seen. internet-computer:native

The spark is the information. The network is what gives it distance. @clownitx turns one signal into many possible paths. ⚡ internet-computer:native

Good ideas rarely spread because one account keeps repeating them. They spread because someone sees value, adds their own voice, and passes them on. Good ideas don’t need one account repeating them forever. They need people willing to pick them up, give them context, and carry them into new circles. That’s where @clownitx turns information into something more dynamic. Projects put a signal into the market. Creators decide whether it is worth carrying, how to frame it, and where to take it next. One creator can start the movement. Another can extend it. A third can put it in front of an entirely different crowd. The spark is the information. The network is what gives it distance. Pass the spark. $ICP

Another day, another GEM 😂 internet-computer:native

This guy is a absolute gem having problems with basic reading comprehension over and over again. But he’s a good example of how fucking exhausting some of these permanent internet-computer:native FUD accounts are. They spend all day trying to provoke people, assuming that if they repeat “bagholder,” “scam” and “dead ecosystem” often enough, eventually someone will lose their mind. LOL. I’m having fun. So, since apparently this needs explaining: When I joke that #TAGGR has “died” several times, just like Bitcoin, I’m not saying TAGGR = Bitcoin. Jesus Christ. The “Bitcoin of social networks” narrative is about something completely different. TAGGR is trying to rethink what a social network can be in Web3: fully on-chain, DAO-governed, much harder to control from a single centralized point, and built around the idea that the network belongs more to its users than to some company sitting above them. That’s where the Bitcoin comparison comes from. Not market cap. Not price. Not adoption. Not because I think TAGGR is magically going to become worth $2 trillion tomorrow. And yes, resilience is part of the joke too. TAGGR has had technical problems, economic experiments that didn’t work as intended, people exploiting mechanisms, changes in direction and moments where plenty of people were ready to declare it dead. Bitcoin wasn’t born perfect either. Neither was ZEC. Both have gone through brutal drawdowns, controversy, technical and economic debates, periods of terrible sentiment and countless declarations that they were finished. They’re still here. That doesn’t mean TAGGR will automatically succeed. It means experimental technology usually has to survive some shit before it matures. And somehow this same guy also managed to interpret me mentioning ZEC as “comparing ICP to ZEC.” 🤦‍♂️ No. I mentioned ZEC because he mocked me about eventually being able to “cash out ICP at $4,” so I told him something I actually cashed out. I also said I own other cryptocurrencies because... surprise... most people who have been in crypto for years understand one of the oldest rules in investing: diversify. My investments are my business. I don’t need to shill every bag I own and pretend I’m an investment genius because one of them pumped. I’m not fucking Jerry. I’m not here telling you Bitcoin is going to zero, ZEC is going to zero, everything else is going to zero and ICP will conquer the planet. I talk about internet-computer:native because this happens to be the ecosystem where I currently use actual dApps every day. TAGGR, ClownitX, The Swop, OpenChat and several others. That’s what interests me. ICP might succeed at what it’s trying to build. It might not. TAGGR might become something huge. It might remain a small weird corner of the internet. I have said versions of this plenty of times. But apparently nuance is incredibly difficult when your entire crypto personality was built around being angry at a chart. If after all my posts someone still thinks “he likes ICP apps = he believes every other crypto is worthless” or that my entire financial life somehow depends on internet-computer:native, I genuinely don’t know how much simpler I can make this. Yeah, yeah, I’m the one digressing like a baby. 🙄

“I Can’t Stop Marketing $ICP for Free” because my engagement has dropped so badly that I’m willing to say what you want to hear, not what I actually think. That's what Jerry is thinking right now. One friendly reminder for people with goldfish memory: Jerry didn’t bring all that exposure to $ICP. $ICP brought the exposure to Jerry. Without ICP, he’s nobody — just a fool people either make fun of or blindly worship. That’s the part people conveniently keep forgetting.
