The biggest Solana scandal since FTX
A founder steps down
$200M drained from crypto
Here’s the story of how Meteora and JUP got caught in the LIBRA scam🧵
(1/9)
Dear @frankdegods ,
I like you because you are a hustler & not afraid to fail
But you have a lack of self-awareness
I think it was caused by people that tricked you into believing you were a visionary like Steve Jobs, when in reality your vision has been like Stevie Wonder
Now, I am completely aware, that if you are Stevie Wonder, then I am Hellen Keller.
By all the metrics we use in the NFT space, you project(s) have been infinitely more successful than mine.
Hell, you basically quit DeGods a year ago and their floor price is still higher than the Frogs.
That being said, I know you are tired of the 1,000 word threads hating on Frank.
I think we have seen each other move long enough in this space that you know I avoid this kind of drama.
I have thought about whether or not to send this post for weeks now… I probably should not be sending it.
But after spending a couple of days at NFT Paris with a bunch of people truly trying to push this space forward, I would be failing myself and my industry peers by staying quiet.
-----------------------------
These two posts (screenshots) coupled with your continual perpetuation of this myth that “Frank is always right” encapsulate my issue with you.
Post 1: You say -- “People blame everyone but themselves.”
Post 2 summarized: --- You push all the blame on the communities for the failures of the DeGods “experiments”
Every time you are attacked or called out, you blame someone or something else. Or you take to sarcasm on the timeline.
But on the rare occasions you are right, you chalk it up to your genius.
You can’t have it both ways.
Listen, Frank:
1⃣ You have tremendous influence. That is in-fact your edge.
2⃣ You are a spectacular attention marketer. That is in-fact your skill.
3⃣ You are very smart, and you do see trends early.
4⃣ You are charismatic and quick witted.
Those four things have gotten you to where you are today.
They are what caused 1,000’s of people on the internet to rally around you and lift you up as their leader.
Maybe you did not want that responsibility.
Maybe you like the idea of being a leader, but don’t like the practice of being one.
Maybe you just cracked under the pressure.
Whatever the reason is for your latest turn, I hope you rethink your strategy and your role.
If you just want to be a memecoin trader. Then do that.
But do it with an undoxxed wallet, and don’t live-stream your trades.
These things, coupled with the fact that -- because you have influence -- you have access to information others don’t have are your "edge".
Think I am wrong?
Record your trades on undoxxed wallets.
Then livestream with the recording to prove your skill.
That would eliminate most of the questions.
As for NFTs, you are right.
As it relates to being a speculative windfall, they are cooked.
They won’t be what they were in 2021.
But NFTs have the potential to create real opportunity for people around the globe.
Opportunity that can change peoples lives.
The Frogs have had a fraction of the success of DeGods, but we have been able to make a positive impact in many people’s lives.
Imagine what you could do if you decided to use DeGods as a positive force for the industry.
Focus less on the speculation, and more on the innovation.
Assuming you don’t block me. I would be happy to help for free. You know how to get ahold of me.
Sincerely,
Pons
