a general PSA, not just related to $TOSHI
Everyone is hurting badly in this market, almost no token, project, or community is exempt from this pain, nor are any of you - the traders.
In this time, if you like a (community driven) project and want it to succeed long term, reach out to the team/founders and ask where and how you can help.
Do not lash out at founders. I have had a handful of people complain and blame the team/me for this horrid price action, which of course is out of our control - and contrary to popular belief we have not sold a single token as a project or as team members, nor have any of us left or given up on the project we've dedicated more than 3 years to.
But this is not about us, this is about founders in general. I'm an old fart, I have thick skin and can easily take your criticism, and will change things if you provide useful constructive criticism.
But right now the timeline and chats are full of angry people lashing out at founders, each other, and basically whoever they find in their sight.
Don't.
First and foremost, it makes you a cunt.
But more importantly, what are you trying to achieve? A founder walking away because they don't want to deal with your tantrums? Unless they made you buy an asset almost with force, they are not responsible for your actions.
Unless they are actually rugging a project and stealing money from you/others, there is no reason to hard attack them.
If a team gives up or winds down not having raised money and building themselves for a long time, that's not stealing from you, that is them protecting themselves and others from further pain and wasting time on something that doesn't work.
Be the moon that lights up the room when others are sitting angrily in darkness.
Everyone hurts, and hopefully we see the industry thrive soon again. People will remember how you acted in times of pain and hurt. Reach out to a friend or random and be there for them, hold each other close so our industry can move forward and onward.
