my honest thoughts about Abstract shutting down...

@AbstractChain I hope @AbstractChain/@IglooInc gives you something man. You have been hella loyal to abstract. You deserve it.

@AbstractChain @IglooInc I appreciate that brother. means a lot would love that, but think the team's been clear about that sadly

@AbstractChain I feel you man,I ve been down since the announcement and I m not sure when I m going recover if I m gonna recover. The biggest issue is the time invested and the ammount of over promises and lies used.. The only funny and maybe thing that crossed my mind when I saw that was this:

@AbstractChain it hurts brother

@AbstractChain Almost 2 years 🥲🥲

@AbstractChain 2 years goneeee

@AbstractChain Turns out our weekly recaps were all for nothing, legendary. And the others.

@AbstractChain glad i stopped those a few weeks ago but yeah... spent so many sunday nights working on that for nothing. ggs

@AbstractChain Yeah, I’ve pretty much spent the last three weeks doing nothing too. It shouldn’t have ended this way, but this is the path they chose. Anyway, we keep moving forward. We’ll achieve even bigger things, legend. 🤝

@AbstractChain yes exactly! onto bigger things! rooting for you Raven

@AbstractChain 🫡

@AbstractChain I’m sorry for your losses and I feel the same. But you know what? This too shall pass. In a few weeks maby a month this will be behind us (where we don’t think about it every waking hour) Onwards, you got this Marcello. New opportunities always emerge! 🤝

@AbstractChain onwards brother <3 ty for saying that

@AbstractChain This is scam bro

@AbstractChain :(

@AbstractChain I spent over $17K on the chain and burned more than $5K

@AbstractChain sorry to hear that goku bro

Appreciate your words my brother. As we all process this shit and go through the stages of grief, today I feel anger. To one of your points, yes we were promised rewards. Not necessarily a token, but “rewards” was put in writing on the portal. It wasn’t defined or quantified in any way, but to hear them on the Spaces yesterday say NO REWARDS so bluntly and callously, that was a dagger to the heart. As a content creator who prob devoted more time to creating content than any of the rest of us, you for one probably felt that knife more than anyone. Fucking sucks. I still cant wrap my mind around the idea that one of the biggest blockchains, funded by one of the biggest companies in crypto, folded before TGE. Makes no sense to me. I don’t know. Anger stage. I’ll get over it. But to another point of yours, it’s really hard not to put all your eggs into one basket. I was loyal. I believed. I trusted. I gave my all BECAUSE I believed. And now I’m so jaded to ever trust again. Again, just feeling this way now, I’m sure we’ll bounce back and move on soon enough. But for now this is what I feel. Anyway bro let’s do some therapeutic shots in Miami in a couple months

@AbstractChain thank you brother, im with you on everything you said! cant wait to see you at Art Basel!

@AbstractChain let's hop on a call a bit later bro

@AbstractChain lets do it brother

@AbstractChain So sorry, I know you out a lot of effort in it, but trust me that doesent go unnoticed and you will do well for sure

@AbstractChain that means a lot man, thank you

Sending you so much love and hugs. 🤍 Times like these can make us stronger and wiser. Don’t beat yourself up for believing. That willingness to believe is part of what makes you special. Over time we learn more about who and what to trust, and when it’s time to move on. That’s part of the human story. For me, I’d still rather believe and sometimes lose than become cynical. Somewhere along the way, we just learn to believe with a little more wisdom. And that wisdom can come from experiences like these.

@AbstractChain well said, thank you Babs <3

@AbstractChain Let’s be honest this is probably the loudest rug pull in Web3. Luca literally broke every promise he made. He delivered on basically none of it. Wishing all of us the strength to keep moving forward

@AbstractChain :( wishing you the best bro

@AbstractChain Thanks bro much love. I’ll be following you and maybe you’ll keep streaming something else

@AbstractChain I can see the pain in your eyes brother, we gon be back

@AbstractChain You got robbed of the most precious thing you own, your time, with the promises of MASSIVE TGE and BILLION DOLLAR VALUATIONS. Honestly, fuck these guys

@AbstractChain 🥲🥲🥲

@AbstractChain 🫂 much love, Marcello. you lost some $ and some time but much of that time became experience, friendships, followers, and skills. if you were a stock, I'd invest. cheers to the next leg of the journey!
