Some of my posts upset part of the internet-computer:native community, but you know, if you had been following me for the past few years, you would know that my story and my opinion about certain people in this ecosystem have not really changed. The only difference is that some of the things I said before have now proven to be true, and more people than before are starting to see things they unfortunately didn’t see earlier. My opinion of ICP has not really changed since I first started following its development. I still believe ICP is a phenomenal project and deserves far more attention. I don’t want to be some kind of influencer, nor do I want to monetize my social media content, so what I post is simply my opinion... and I have every right to express it. Whenever I’ve made serious claims, I’ve always provided evidence, and I don’t think I’ve ever accused someone of something they didn’t actually do. I absolutely do not hate anyone in this or any other community, but whenever I have the time, I will always fight for the truth. I also have every right to express my opinion about Jerry, who has a long history of manipulative and dishonest behaviour, and I have solid evidence for that which I’ve posted more than once. Yet there is always someone who comes along and says, “this project sucks” or “I don’t like it,” and suddenly that gives Jerry full permission to shit all over that project and its developers... even when what he says is false. There is no point arguing with people like that, and they certainly don’t deserve to be treated kindly. I also want to address marketing in ICP. Yes, ICP needs marketing. But marketing is not a process where the community simply decides what should be promoted and how, because, with all due respect, very few people actually understand what marketing is or how complex it is. What many people seem to think marketing means is simply having a bunch of people shill ICP, with no audience targeting whatsoever, as long as as many videos as possible are pumped out and as many impressions as possible are generated. And impressions are pushed to the front because anyone with half a brain understands that actual views matter far more. But even video content itself is only one small part of marketing. Marketing is a much broader discipline. Some people, like Alex, actually produce video content that is worth watching, and I have to admit that I like his style even though we disagree on many things. Now let’s get to what I actually have a problem with. I will never — and I mean never — accept people like Jerry and Bobby as the faces of ICP. I’ve already said this a thousand times. Both of them are full of toxicity, arrogance and ego — exactly the kind of traits marketing does not tolerate well. One of them has spent years making videos about other projects supposedly going to zero, speaking against meme coins, and is now behaving in complete contradiction to what he spent all those years preaching. On top of that, he is unstable in his character and behaviour, and people like that have no place anywhere near serious marketing. Sure, at times he can be funny or entertaining, but that does not erase all the bad things he has done over the years. The other one constantly tries to drag people into debates where he presents himself as intellectually superior and everyone else as inferior. He keeps pushing his own narrative without really listening to what anyone else has to say, and then wonders why nobody wants to debate him. Relax, man. You’re not Crypto Jesus. I’m sure both of them have introduced some people to ICP. But it is also obvious that we are still a very small community, and their actual impact is nowhere near as significant as they seem to believe it is. At the same time, they also damage the ecosystem through their toxic behaviour. On the other hand, after listening to one of Jerry’s latest videos and reading some of the comments from others, I’m now hearing that DFINITY should apparently start following the same path as networks like Solana... the same Solana people used to accuse of bribery, dishonesty and deceptive marketing. Now suddenly Solana’s marketing is amazing. I believe ICP can succeed without playing those kinds of dirty games. And some people have made a very important observation. Jerry is sick and needs professional help, and everyone who keeps encouraging and reinforcing his behaviour and decisions he makes is probably doing him more harm than I am by criticizing him. This text is polished by ChatGPT... mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Yes, ICP needs marketing. But marketing is not a process where the community simply decides what should be promoted and how, because, with all due respect, very few people actually understand what marketing is or how complex it is.

What many people seem to think marketing means is simply having a bunch of people shill ICP, with no audience targeting whatsoever, as long as as many videos as possible are pumped out and as many impressions as possible are generated. And impressions are pushed to the front because anyone with half a brain understands that actual views matter far more.
