@InternetH0F Ofc it’s an emergency bc how do you confirm death on a plane. Are you 100% sure? Who is deciding this? Imagine the drama of not landing and the doctors later say that there was a chance to save him.
@Tezos,
I'd like to start a thread about you.
A honest thread, open to Q&A, where people can share their worries/facts/gossips/whatever
I hope that you can answer and that nobody trolls the thread (please).

I've been loyal to @tezos for reasons that have to do with social values, and also, hearing that they had the best tech (which I keep on verifying all the time). I know nothing about the ancient drama there's been. However, ppl still stick with a negative feeling just because they heard things, and that those things haven't been cleared.

Recently I was in London at @trilitech offices, giving a very friendly talk. I didn't know what Trilitech was, although it seemed like the Tezos Foundation offices to me. Valerie aka @BLACK_etc had to explain to me. A lovely moment, really ! Lots of people working there, but also, beautiful spaces with a lot of #Tezos art hanging on the walls, including a giant "Bugged Forest" on 3d floor and a beautiful "Travelers" by @ykxotkx in the lobby.

It turns out, Tezos people do care about us. They are working (hard) in SO MANY fields, not just art :) It was obvious to me after this visit : they are clumsy with communication. All that we perceive, is in fact, charisma.
(I have a habit that is, on the contrary, to be careful with persons with too much charisma)
Valerie told me that Twitter had been so hard on them that she became scared of being there. I'm sure that, as a "powerful community", we can do better.

Yes, these days, there's a war on crypto. We're all in this together. When BTC drops, everyone drops, but XTZ drops more, and doesn't recover.
I've been a strong believer in the initial promises of a blockchain : the ideal of decentralization, the frictionless market, the sense of equity and social values it carried. The reason why the general public despises crypto is the same why the SEC is attacking so bad, and that has nothing to do with those values. Purposeless coins and idleness and scams and Ponzis (or absurd gas fees), don't belong in the Tezos blockchain.
—
These values I'm writing about are probably the reason why people have gathered here and built strong and friendly communities.
I wish that people outside, that papers selling sensationalists news, could know about these values we carry. It wouldn't be bad for the space if general public and govts could know about that side of things.
Again, it's only a question of image.

So I have some questions for people :
Why is it you don't like Tezos ?
What is it that you don't trust ?
What is it that you trust ?
—
I would have so many questions for Tezos too ! What are you building. Who are the people/orgs you are working with and could make a difference. What are the difficulties that you are facing. What is the role of the Foundation. Who works there. How much is the blockchain decentralized. Why don't people like you. How can we help. How could you appear more transparent and trustable. Who are the people behing Tezos. Can you show us the beautiful prints you have in your offices. How do you ensure that we'll fare through the current storm and survive.
I hope that you will not be terrified by my questions 🫂

I have no idea what I'm doing with this thread. Maybe a flop, maybe an overwhelming response. One sure thing : you changed my life, I loved everything and I love all the people in here 💚. It sounds cheesy ! but I do !
1/ I'm beyond thrilled to announce that Calian is the next Curated release at @artblocks_io , coming on March 1!
Calian is an interactive exploration of lifelike behavior. You can pan and zoom, infinitely, in imagined worlds at the boundary between the organic and digital.
@drey_eth Hey, I was on reserve yesterday but apparently not anymore (dayfred_vault). I guess I am just too late? If there’s a chance to get one I’d appreciate it! Anyway thanks a lot and keep up the great work! 🙏
Wow, deeply honored. 🥹 @pepe__xyz sent me a print of my iteration of stitched, along came this „test render“ of Marzinaw as a gift. Immediately framed and fell in love with it.
