One observation before going to sleep that brings no real value, but something I’ve noticed over the past few years in the $TitanX ecosystem, and why it’s in the hole it’s in right now. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ll write it anyway… This text was prompted by last night’s @Blaze3Win stream and some observations from that stream. 1. The TitanX ecosystem was created as a fair-launch ecosystem with certain ethos that every CORE dev and OG community member was supposed to respect and strictly condemn any anomalies that appear within the ecosystem. 2. At the first sign of weakness in the ecosystem at the end of 2024, anomalies started to appear, and people whom the TitanX ecosystem and Jake had elevated and made relevant began turning against the very rules they had agreed to when joining the ecosystem. The first was Rainman, who attempted retaliation through an ETH pair. His ego got the best of him , he started believing he was a god-given DEV and that his project’s success was due to him alone, not the TitanX hype that made him visible. He publicly turned against Jake and against the rules and spirit of the ecosystem. He struck at the core , he was the first to go against the ethos. (Now someone will say: this is DeFi, he can pair his tokens with whatever he wants , yes, he can, but then he shouldn’t promote it to the TitanX community or present it as a TitanX project, because it wasn’t.) Later he created Shaolin, which had nothing to do with TitanX and collapsed faster than it was created. Why do I mention this? Because that’s how betrayal started. Do you remember who first supported Rainman? The WARP team, the “Titans of LP” guys. Yes , they supported Rainman’s retaliation. And even back then it was obvious that these were people who had profited enormously from LP providing within TitanX and then came to stab it in the back , including the founder , by acting against the ETHOS. Not only did they fail to condemn Rainman’s actions, they openly welcomed them. Later, we saw those same people stab Jake in the back with the DragonFart / dust vampire attack. In addition to lying that the coin was helping TitanX, they also lied that it was a CTO. Shadowy tracked them on-chain and exposed that they were actually the creators themselves. So , lie after lie. A new betrayal. Then they created their own Telegram with SreyX, a known scammer, who even scammed them for a few thousand dollars , comedy. Do you remember who publicly condemned this and made posts about it? Jake, Erik, Shadowy. These were the people who publicly condemned that behavior and clearly distanced themselves from those people and their actions. Do you remember who was neutral and indirectly supported those people? I remember very well. These were mostly the people who later dropped out of the ecosystem one by one , because they were never here for fair launches, ethos, or rules. They were here only to extract as much money as possible in the shortest time. Everything else was just a façade. So, the foundations of the ecosystem collapsed by allowing such anomalies , both by other CORE devs and by community members who did not publicly condemn bad behavior. This brings us to last night’s problem, where even @allykane5 said something along the lines of: “fuck the ethos, this is DeFi, we can pair coins with anything and that’s fine.” Yes , but then don’t build it inside the TitanX ecosystem. Build your own. That said, Ally later corrected himself and came to his senses. I don’t consider him a bad actor. Then we come to @UTAH_KRYPTO . I’ll ignore the fact that he banned 90% of the main TitanX chat , including core devs , because he had a bad day and would rather ban 99% of members than allow disagreement or let the community breathe. The real problem started when he said that the WARP guys are actually good guys and that Jake shouldn’t have acted the way he did toward them last year. On the contrary , the problem is not Jake. The problem is everyone else who failed to publicly condemn the WARP team’s behavior and scam. On-chain data shows they were the creators of the fartdust scam and extracted over $50k from TitanX, all while publicly trashing Jake. Imagine an ecosystem where one group unfairly attacks the founder, while other devs , supposedly working for the ecosystem , support them or stay silent in the face of injustice. Utah even said last night that they are “good guys.” No , they are not good guys. They are people who tried to fraudulently recover money they lost on audits. There’s much more that could be mentioned, but let’s not drag this out. The core and spirit of the ecosystem were killed by allowing bad behavior to pass without condemnation. It started with Rainman, then WARP, and others stayed silent. So what kind of fairness are we even talking about here? Therefore: 1. You do not work synchronously. You do not coordinate or plan the future of the ecosystem together. This is a micro-ecosystem , for it to succeed, everything must be done in sync. 2. Trust and the public condemnation of bad behavior were the greatest strengths of this ecosystem , and through silence, you destroyed that. And now those same devs want Jake to come back and are wondering why he left? He left because he didn’t get support from the very people he helped create. You stabbed him in the back and didn’t stand by him when it mattered the most. Of course, there are exceptions. I honestly have no idea what could restore mass trust in the TitanX ecosystem. What certainly won’t do it is continuing to operate the same way and questioning the ethos. The potential is still there , but in the end, without Jake as the representative and pillar of this micro-ecosystem, there is no progress. The devs cannot do anything without him, and he cannot do anything without them. The sooner they start working together and forging a clear plan on how to sell and position the products, the sooner this ecosystem can begin to recover. Without strong leadership, there is no progress here. Good night.
