I want to thank everyone who gave me feedback after presenting the Garden Project at Farcon Rome. Many people were incredibly supportive, asked how they could become part of it. 💛 🙏 I'd like to start by inviting you all to follow the @garden_org account. And here's a bit more about what’s happening behind the scenes: 1/ I’m deliberately taking my time: observing, researching, designing (literally having the time of my life!) I learned that for a product like the Garden OS, you can’t just manufacture synthetic conditions for success, you have to take your time cultivating it. Real growth emerges only when the underlying systems are healthy. 2/ Garden is not just a poetic metaphor. Nature has spent 3.8 billion years iterating on decentralized system designs for efficient resource distribution and growth. I’m basically trying to learn from the best in business. Additional note: I also like to think that every experience in my life, every person, every success, every failure, and every detour became part of this compost. Perhaps that was the point all along: to build a garden worth leaving behind. Grateful to be building alongside you all.

It's true - I made this with @imgn_ai If anyones interested, I can show my workflow I drop Farcaster centric clips of this nature on @farcaster_xyz periodically. Usually after the kids go to sleep and my brain does silly gymnastics between 1-4am AEST.

business is booming

I met Colin through Farcaster, where I was one of the first 1,000 users Freeport was the first company we worked on together. We've also built Ponder and TMRW now it's Dreamwork Quite a lot came out of joining that app early

I started growing the garden as a public good and I think it’s now turning into a beautiful forest. This morning, I planted a tiny seed on @farcaster_xyz: a call for help for a nonprofit, a cancer education community hub for patients. Within 20 minutes, four developers raised their hands, crowdfunding platform secured, and we started to self-organize around it. This is my favorite tech stack: A problem worth solving → humans willing to show up for others → AI accelerating execution → crypto rails resourcing the work. No pitch deck. No VC. No elaborate coordination mechanism. Human infrastructure 🌱💛

unironically, the type of stuff that has kept me building on this for 4 years now

This is @farcaster_xyz

Read this. Are you aware of how widespread abuse is in this industry, anon? How many employees feel forced to take the money, not because it benefits them, but because they’re trying to protect themselves? This is incredibly sad.

1/ gm. gm. Name is Hsin-Ju. I have a dark, kinda tragic personal announcement. I've decided I'd rather take $0 than accept a settlement that requires me to stay silent about what happened to me. I have since fired my lawyers at @sanfordheisler & will be releasing all the evidence from my time @hack_vc on Wed 8/26. INTRO: I've been in crypto for 9 years. Most recently I was a partner & head of platform @hack_vc which is a $600-700M crypto VC firm. Many of you may know me from my time as Head of Growth at @StellarOrg in 2017 (worked w/ the Mt. Gox founder), @Solana in 2018 (joined under ~10 ppl, but quit before my cliff), & @Fhenix in 2024. Or have attended one of my @DystopiaLabs ETH events (2019-now). Last year, I was forced to work through a serious medical emergency while at @Hack_VC due to threats by @alpackaP @dbulaevsky, saying that they would blacklist me from the space if I quit before finishing the hacksummit conference & side events that I was helping with during @kbwofficial. I was working 13-14hr days, 6 days a week, sleeping 0-4 hrs a night, and had documented Graves' disease, hyperthyroidism, and severe insomnia. I repeatedly asked to quit. Hack VC refused. This + other threats and intimidation went on for almost a month. The conditions got so bad I attempted suicide. The fucked up part is that, even after the suicide attempt, I told everyone at Hack VC (in writing) that I had no plans to sue. I was scared & extremely sick. I just wanted to leave. I told them that as long as there was no retaliation or badmouthing - I had no plans to sue. @Hack_VC chose to retaliate. After just 1 month after my near suicide, Hack VC mishandled my COBRA health insurance, refused to fix things, kept shooing me to customer support (when it's legally Hack VC's responsibility to fix this), and my insurance had issues and was not fixed for almost 4 MONTHS. Hack VC did not fix everything until I hired lawyers and had them force Hack VC to adhere to the law & fix my COBRA insurance issues. The sheer cruelty of an employer harming someone's health insurance almost immediately after they nearly committed suicide is extremely fucked up. And, even during the legal engagement, Hack VC continued to lie & attempt to harm me through their lawyers and other employees/partners (multi-million dollar carry & clawbacks can make even the nicest ppl willing to turn the other way or lie). @0xRodney @IsTheBaron @roshunpatel @Alex__Botte. Now. Almost an entire year of engagement & my near suicide anniversary coming up, our lawyers (mine & Hack VC's) have reached the point of preparing for private mediation and settlement. And...I realized that I just can't do it. I don't want money in exchange for silence. I'd rather speak. I fired my lawyers yesterday. In case it needs to be said, I did a good job at Hack VC. I was only there full time for 7 months; been part-time since 2021. I got a $50k raise to $300k, $30k bonus, and promises of additional carry that would have been implemented about a week or so after my last day. I was also offered admission into the GP entity (but not sure if admission was actually completed bc it was during my medical emergency). This + my resume, should show that me suing is not a money grab; I was genuinely harmed. I'm aware that I'm just one person (who is not rich) facing a $600-700M VC institution. I've been told by @alpackaP that he's known most of the managing partners at most VC firms for almost a decade and he could absolutely blacklist me. I'm also painful aware that the conclusion of this will probably be extremely poor for me or death - but I've accepted it. Sharing with other web2 & web3 VCs: @paulg @ycombinator @500STARTUPS @a16zcrypto @PanteraCapital @dragonflyvc @RaceCapital @hosseeb @haunventures @hiFramework @ElectricCapital @blockchaincap @Delphi_Digital @variantfund @1kxnetwork @archetypevc @shimacapital @robotventures, etc. TLDR; I’m done with continued threats, pressure, and intimidation. I'm not going to take a payout and allow Alex or Hack VC to walk away from harming me. As mentioned, I'll be dropping the evidence from my case on Wed 8/26 (or before) -- privacy be damned.
