& one last thing- we will not be liquidating any of the coins we have purchased from the community, we will only be liquidating our own coin. We believe in all of you & what you're doing & want that support to remain & be visible in our absence, just like our absolutely epic NFT gallery. You've got a lot more *patience* than us āš¼
If you would like to stay in touch with us & see what we do next please follow us on Twitter, we will post updates there moving forward š
Thinking out loud:
Creators, we are the real fuel of DeSo
Without us, DeSo would not exist
- Investors without creators have no reasons to be there
- Developers without creators have no reasons to be there
- The whole concept without us has no reason to exist
Good Night!

A community was built that encouraged investment in a coin and in each other. The community was told that "gas was being poured on the fire" to bring new users in.
The users came. A lot of referral $ was spent. Then nothing was done to retain them. They were not supported. Nothing was done to mitigate the alarming churn numbers. (How many accounts were created to build 2-3k DAUs?)
People lost money. Some lost a lot of money.
Yes, there are feelings of resentment.
The good news is that the BitClout experiment worked! DeSo attracted in a bunch of new developers (see 200+ apps live), a strong base of users (3K-4K DAUs still), and a lot of capital to deploy into the ecosystem (close to $200M raised).
However, as we have undergone this shift, I worry that some audiences (specifically creators and end users) feel neglected, or worse, that they were part of a bait-and-switch.
It's not about getting verified, it's about everything around that. The lies, the double standards, the misogyny, the placating, the absolute disregard for feedback & the user base, their behavior, etc etc etc
What an absolute bitch move, great bandaid on an entire community šš¼ "we promised creators they could make millions on their posts but silly you for believing us! It was just business baby!"
It's just growing pains sweetie! We know because we're all 17, fully mature grown up who know what's best & how to waste *200 million dollars*
But rest assured, they *will* keep verifying some people who ask for it, but others need to understand & have patience that everyone can't have special treatment, it's just too tiring for our little dev brains to remember who's special & who's disposable!
Yes, we were part of a bait & switch. But don't worry! They never wanted us anyway so we can all fuck off āŗ

Thank you so much to everyone who has shown us love, is showing us love today, & who have supported us through it all. Y'all are the only reason we have stayed after relentless issues & misogyny, double standards & frankly complete bullshit. We invested a lot in this community & you have invested a lot in us, but today was the last straw & has nothing to do with any of you. @nader & his little cult are immature, disrespectful, & deeply misguided & his Town Hall showed us how little he cares about the user base of this community. We had high hopes that today would be a turning point for the better since @deso made such a big deal about listening to @DeSoVoices but as usual, they doubled down on speaking over the community & disregarding our concerns.
