Public Service Announcement I’m going to share my truth. I’m going to tell you what you’re not supposed to hear. This is bigger than one person. He is not the problem. For the past several months, I’ve been searching for a reason to stay on Crypto Twitter. It’s not just the price action or empty promises or PvP culture that has me questioning everything. It’s primarily the people left here. At this point, I think it’s appropriate to point out that if you’re still here every day then you probably don’t have a better option. Either you are in on it and leveraging your influence against others to max extract, or you are getting max extracted from because you have become emotionally attached and psychologically dependent on this space. Many of the people left are unemployed, forced to either align with people that they don’t actually like or likely fade into complete irrelevance over these next few months. Many people are being forced into submission, the was it was designed all along. We think we are at the mercy of cabals and KOLs. But we don’t have to be. This is where Otto Rothmund comes in. So I met Otto several years ago, and he immediately fascinated me as someone who knows things here. Someone who has always said the quiet part out loud. Someone who will always provide the historical context for what’s transpiring here. Someone who challenges the status quo. Well over the past few years, Otto will be the first to tell you that he’s done things that are morally apprehensible. I don’t actually know if he’s capable of lying, and so what I said in a fit of rage yesterday was not even an accurate portrayal of Otto’s character. He has told people what he’s done wrong, and yet there are still very well organized people intent on maintaining control of the ecosystem, and therefore suppressing and gatekeeping Otto from promoting a new era of community. Otto has always said he sees me as a man of the people, capable of relating to the average CT person just trying to survive. He’s encouraged me to become a more outspoken presence in the space, leading a mass exodus away from the cabals and KOLs and gatekeepers that exist only to steal from others. We align on many points regarding the deteriorating culture here, and both of us want to push for better ideals and ways of interacting with each other. It’s for these reasons that people attempt to keep us canceled. Because we’re not content with how things are and we’re saying loudly that we’re going to do something about it. Well, I tried things the Otto way for a week and opened myself up to considering change to be possible and necessary. What happened next is why this space continues to worsen by the day. People heard not only was Otto back, but he was being platformed again by credible people. He was being allowed on spaces to speak freely, added back to group chats to spit gospel, and while a little rough around the edges it felt as if Otto was being accepted back into the fray. As a result of the return of Otto, the rumor mill started to swirl like a tornado. Otto has never hid from his drug use. He’s never claimed to always treat certain women in his life well. He will tell you he isn’t here to scam or worried about making money. So therefore he’s not dependent on Them the way the rest of us are. And Them can’t tolerate it, so They intentionally go out of their way to spread rumors about Otto. Heinous, unforgivable rumors that would lead to anyone getting canceled. The irony is those leading the witch hunt against Otto are the ones who claim to not believe in cancelations in the first place. Not only was Otto thrown back into the fire for just trying to exist here, but anyone that chose to align with him also became a target. So all of a sudden I am being harassed and intimidated from several people almost simultaneously. “Otto did this. Otto did that. Why are you giving him a chance? Why are you friends with him? That makes you part of the problem.”
