I want to clear the air about people calling Luca Netz 🐧 a scammer I get the frustration... personally, i'm one of the ones that got cooked the most but there's a difference between a failed start-up, and a rugpull if he had walked away with millions in his pocket. that's a different story but he didn't. he lost money, time, and hurt his reputation nobody won in this situation. especially Luca did he make really bold statements about Abstract? Yes. like any founder that believes in what they're building, I sure hope they would did a lot of people get hurt as a result of that? Yes. could things have been managed differently? Yes. all of that could be true. at the same time, that's part of the game we all sign up for when we join something like this especially in one of the world's riskiest and most difficult industries to build in we're all taking a bet on it's success, the vision, and the people behind it and unfortunately, this one didn't work out should everyone that contributed expect some kind of compensation or reward? sure, that would be cool... I would honestly love that I bet as Obsidian tier, and top 100 user, I would get a pretty fat stimmy at the same time, realistically, how would they even do that? they're already negative tens of millions of dollars would be outrageous to make more promises we know they can't keep idk. none of this played out the way we wanted it too, and that's the sad reality everyone needs to accept if i'm being honest, i've already been depressed about Abstract the last 2-3 months I was a delusional bull... and watching things go downhill the way it did were extremely brutal but at the end of the day. I wouldn't change a thing i'd rather give something I truly believe in my whole fucking heart and soul... than to half-ass something, barely even trying seeing the shutdown announcement, in a weird way, gave me the closure I needed mentally, I was already there. but ripping off the bandaid was all that was left I believed for way too long, and I had lost my purpose and my why i'm hoping everyone can one day heal from this, and find the next thing they can get excited about if you're reading this, use this experience as a learning one don't repeat the same mistakes you might've made along the way for me, that means putting all your eggs in one basket... it doesn't hurt to diversify and be bullish on multiple ecosystems at the same time that's what i'll be doing differently moving forward I really wish Abstract became what we all dreamed it could. but that chapter's done now onto the next one
