Someone asked me today if I wanted to exit Flagship. Hell no. Why would I do that. Public launch in 7 days and I'm more locked in than ever. I've had to push so hard to get here. We've had a lot of money, we've been deadbroke. We've had a big team, we've had a small team, and for a period it was just me and my co-founder. We've been an Avalanche project, a Polygon project, a TON project, a Base project, and now a Virtuals project. A lot of pivots. A lot of pain. All of it to get to the product I had in my head 5 years ago. Once live, we are Flagship. We hover above the chains. I always thought chain-tribalism was stupid. Blockchains are backend protocols. Nobody cares what database Twitter runs on. We made all chains disappear and put the focus where it belongs: the quality of the onchain assets. What I'm most looking forward to is finally building what users actually want instead of what I think they want. We're wiring AI-powered feedback loops into the product and the org itself. Making the whole thing recursive. I didn't think this was possible until recently. Now I can't stop thinking about it. Back to the exit question. I have 100+ ideas for where this goes. 90% will die. I love this market, I love building, and I'm nowhere near done. I want to keep compounding this thing and see how far we can take it. Pretty far, I think.
