I am...amused...I think that is the right word...to see that the new ToS from @GoGalaGames has gutted the "Governance" section of the Terms of Service to remove the idea that nodes can take part in governance. Within a couple minutes of that, someone sent me the video below which is just a bit on the nose...but its also pretty funny...I am trying to decide if I should share it or not. For now, I don't think I am going to, but who knows, maybe it will come later.

For the record, I don't think @Benefactor0101 is a bad guy...hes not evil or anything like that...I think he is doing what he thinks needs to be done to keep the company running, I just happen to very much disagree with the way that is going. As a member of the community, all I can do is sit here and post while building other stuff I think will work better in the long run.

I have received a few pings from Gala employees about feeling that I was attacking them when I make these posts about what I see as negative or harmful things the company is doing.

I want to be absolutely clear...my support for you, the employees, and for the Gala community has never wavered. You work in an incredibly difficult industry in a company that can be...mercurial..., and I know better than anyone just how tough it can be.

However, my love for the community and the employees doesn’t mean blind support for everything the company does.

My father had a Bible verse on his van: “Let all things be done decently and in order.” That principle guides me, and it’s why I’m speaking out now. There are things that are being done that go beyond what I see as a business decision. The decision not to continue licensing The Walking Dead, for example, is a simple business decision. Whether I agree with it or not, it is a business decision.

The decision to remove Governance from the ToS and the network in general, is a BAD THING in web3. It goes against everything that I stand for. To tell the community that they do not deserve to have a voice is unequivocally wrong. I have expressed this to the team in personal emails I have sent to them, but they have taken this step anyways. I cannot support this...I support the community and the employees, but these decisions are something I cannot be silent about.

I stand with the community and individual participants (the ones not doing this thing). I can’t stand beside this decision.

Please don’t take my posts personally...they are not aimed at you. But if you find yourself feeling like they are, it might be worth taking a moment to reflect and ask whether your actions are truly aligned with the standards you hold for yourself and your web3 principles.

BitBender out.

@BitBenderBrink eventually leave regrets.

[Tony. @TezosMars]

@BitBenderBrink and become more centralized. Community members who leave coin market will never come back. There are so many good projects that they won't come back to a centralized and unilateral project. Stubbornness and self-righteousness that don't listen to others' opinions will

@BitBenderBrink @Benefactor0101
He chose fast way to succeed, but because this decision was made unilaterally and without a vote, many people will be disappointed and criticized, which will reduce number of community members in long term, and Gala project will eventually smaller

I was talking to an employee yesterday about $GALA and he had an interesting view. He said we are the only top 100 token that has had no defi elements this entire time. He pointed it out that we are now adding a ton of defi to the project:
1. DEX
2. Launchpad
3. Staking
4. Defi loans
5. Native stable coins
6. 3rd party development

He and I agreed that we are both very excited about the future of $GALA

This doesn't include all the efforts internally on Games, Music and Film. Nor any of our efforts to do work in government around the world.

@Benefactor0101 We don't have 1M gala. You trying to throw away node holders and That's bad!!

$GALA

[benefactor @Benefactor0101]

Lots happening at $GALA right now...I will be sharing soon some of the exciting news related to big deals with government and large corporations. But those are still cooking and I will share once I can take them out of the oven and show you all.
However! I can talk a little about some of the cross chain work we have been doing lately. We already have shared we have a bridge to $SOL but now we have enabled $GALA on Solana. This was a bit of a challenge because now we are managing supply across $GALA, $ETH, $TON and $SOL. We plan on adding even more ways to move tokens around the world of crypto. With some of the new deals about to go primetime users from all over crypto will need some $GALA so we enabled a trading pair on Raydium. You can find it here:

Keep in mind this time #GALA isn't just gaming it's

American made layer 1 chain
