This past year’s been tough for artists and founders, and when things start slipping, people are quick to place blame. I’ve spent over a year working on fwog, putting in thousands of hours creating content and growing the IP and brand.
I’ve done it because I genuinely love the community and what fwog stands for. It helped spark the art meta in the Solana trenches, and I’m proud of that. Seeing the price drop hurts, but that’s not something I can control.
My focus is to keep showing up and bringing ideas to life. Things feel soulless lately, and people switch up fast once they can’t benefit anymore.
Everyone else has moved on from fwog, and I’m still here pushing it forward. It’s tough, and yeah, sometimes I feel like quitting. This isn’t for pity, just needed to say it with all the expectations lately.
