Yesterday was my last day with @avax
After 3 years I learned a lot and enjoyed every single moment with everyone.
Had the change to meet Gün which was an honor for me.
Avalanche was and always be my home
I would like to thank everyone, it was an amazing journey!
sigh.
This post coming from Avalabs is sad, tone-deaf, arrogant and of course, disappointing.
The first half of the post I actually agree with.
Every chain does wash trading and inflating of volumes and transactions. Avax is no different to say, Polygon or Tron in this regard.
Kevin is also correct in regards to proving fact (the tx itself) does not prove intention (impossible unless the contract owner posts about it). But if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
What disappoints me is the complete disregard and lack of accountability for the $AVAX price action.
- Mocking $AVAX holders as not "investors"
- Disregarding any criticism of AVAX as a "hate boner"
- Saying it's not up to Labs to "manipulate the market"
Making the AVAX token go up as Avalabs isn't manipulation, it's value creation for crying out loud. The value of the token going up is a measure of success, not whatever KPI you use to give yourselves high 5's internally (Volume? Transactions? Likes on a post?)
You know what's real manipulation? Constant $30m clips of AVAX sent to Coinbase.
and then the quiet part out loud
- Saying AVAX is not an "actual investment"
Many of us purchased the AVAX token as a bet on Avalabs and Foundation as the future of blockchain, horizontal scaling and snowman consensus.
Unfortunately, now it's clear that even Labs themselves don't see the token as an investment. So what is it? Just a Gas token?
Solana went up because they won the retail battle. People wanted a vehicle to speculate and actually have a chance to win a lottery. People saw others winning and thought "yeah I want a piece of that".
I don't know anyone who wants to bridge their net worth to a new place because of "Wow look at how many transactions they're doing!"
Who keeps hiring these out of touch exSolana people?
Worst part is this post came from the new Avalabs Director of External Media, of all people (!)

Let's say in 10 years Avalanche has:
-240 billion txns annually
-$3,5 trillion in txns volume
BUT
-Avax is at $9 (fairly possible)
Are you happy that u were right or sad that u didn't make money?
🇱🇧🇮🇷 LIFE GOES ON AS IRANIAN MISSILES SOAR OVER LEBANON
Lebanese keep partying while missiles soar toward Israel above them.
Decades of nonstop conflict have made war a familiar backdrop to daily life.
The people stay resilient, refusing to let war steal their nights.
