Listen ZBZ.
I don’t need or want your congratulations.
I am not asking to be judged by a different measuring stick.
Quite the opposite.
Guys like you drive me. Guys with the hubris to look in from the outside and tell me an others like me all the mistakes we are making and all the deadlines missed.
Guys who call someone like me an extractor. Someone who is literally lost money being a founder.
I run a $1 billion division for one of the largest brands in the industry I work in. I have been leading people since I was 21. I understand fully well what it takes to be successful in business. I also understand what failure looks like and how to win after failure.
Look around you. I have raised a fraction of the $$. To say we have delivered nothing is disingenuous and ridiculous.
2 years? Did I promise to deliver everything in 2 years?
How much has the industry changed in 2 years? How many projects have sustained like we have?
How many projects have created other projects with similar values like we have? How many projects have created as much opportunity for others as we have?
How many founders have spent hundreds of hours giving holders free advice? How many dollars have these other projects given to people in need?
How many projects created positive ROI for their minters and early adopters like we have?
How many founders are still here after two years building value for their holders?
Extractor?
2 years with the same story?
Respectfully… Move on.
