First of all, I wanna say thank you so much to everyone who supported in even the littlest way.
I came across the
@oxgeek's post at its early mins with the engagement it had. Almost overlooked it but then decided to send the lil I could (which obviously wouldn't have done anything significant).
But after I saw the impressions to $$ raised ratio, I decided to launch a token and route the fees. Pretty sure we know how it went from there.
Now to the real deal. I've seen CT being pretty emotional but this likely the first time I'm seeing this level of animosity from Ct.
And since we're dealing with emotions, you can't really tell people how and/or how not to feel/vent.
Anyways, to put every thing into bullet points to save time and not bore y'all out:
1. There's actually lil people to call friends here given web3's pseudonymity. So, if you really have a clique that shows up for you, no matter how small, appreciate them greatly.
2. I was actually shocked at the lack of support that token got, esp from Joshy's 'acquaintances' and 'friends'.
Makes me wonder if they've always not liked him but stayed due to selfish reasons or if he indeed has offended them at some point (does that really matter if you're friends or even acquaintances?).
I understand people he talked down on in the past dissociating themselves but this one... I don't!
Not like he's holding a huge supply ready to dump, only fees yet I saw nada.
3. Even though the raise didn't go as expected, I'm genuinely happy we could pull off 0.26 Eth in total fees due to the support we got. I know it'd have been more under better circumstances but that's fine.
Thanks to everyone who traded the token tbh, and
@whatalife598 for the much he did too. Good stuff.
4. Well, finally to Josh, it's good to be principled and of course, have a lil bit of pride (as every human do)... but please learn restraint.
"It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it." — Mark Twain.
Not all words are meant to be said. Not all banter is supposed to be replied. Not all decisions or resolutions are for saying out loud.
That doesn't mean you're not principled or you can't still go ahead and do what you want, but majorly because you do not know how it affects the other party nor do you know anything about their situation.
People go through a lot. Everyone here is trying to make one end or ends meet, hence we show up when we can. So I see no reason why anyone wouldn't be kind (or silent when you don't wanna be).
That said, I really really do hope everything works out for you. Life isn't a bed of roses so once in a while challenges like these are what makes a man.
Goodluck, and if you need to talk to someone anytime, just dm away.

Yesterday's been a lot but I think it was a good one too as everyone learned a thing or two.
Apparently, this is all I could structurally put together to relay how I feel about the whole situation without repeating what has been flying on the tl.
Sorry for the long read 🫠😎
Peace ✌️
Think everyone should learn a thing or two from the tl today.
If I'm able to collate my thoughts properly, I'll tweet it. If not, till next time.
