PSA: I started here and I continue here in order to build products that make users’ lives better, create a fairer and more equal financial system, and most importantly build a system of ownership that can be accessed by those very same users.
These principles are what drew me to build on Ethereum in 2016, drove me out in 2017 when ICO mania was its (first, as it turns out) complete antithesis, and was the single foundational demand I made when I re-entered the space and we founded Kujira in 2021. It’s been our north star ever since.
It seems they’re being tested again.
Let me be clear, we have the conviction, the tools, the runway and the mandate to finally see this through and I do not plan on going anywhere else. We are fortunate though, we have an incredible mission-led team, and a shared experience, history and learnings from the last ~10 years of building on blockchains, and the resources to execute.
But tested they are. This isn’t some hype driven disillusionment like ICO mania, NFTs, hollow VC chains with inflated valuations, or meme coins. It’s easy to attribute those to hype, greed, the general human condition. Instead it’s a quieter, more insipid meta. Well respected teams selling out and abandoning token holders. Founders moving on without any regard to the communities and token holders that put them in that position.
I understand that markets and times are hard these days. I’m sure for some forgoing those core values in order to stay alive is justifiable. Unfortunately as the proverb goes - the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
However, through all of this, my original statement stands. We do this in the open, together, and for each other, or we don’t do it at all.
We continue ⚒️
