Starting it here, but a question till the end of time:

Does 🍍 belong on 🍕 ?

Web 2 Algorithms don't care why you're engaging, just that you are. Rage, joy, disgust, it's rewarded all the same thanks to the ad-based model. People realize negativity travels faster than nuance and they exploit it for viral fame.

That's why the internet is rotting. 

On DeSo/Focus, real people, not algorithms, decide what gets seen and rewarded. People tend to reward value, not outrage. That means less doomscrolling, more meaningful content, and a healthier internet for all.

Life. be in it.

come chat live later today as we host WHALE HOUR

(🔊 sound on)

Dear WHALE Members,

We are happy to announce that the latest revision of the
📜WHALE Whitepaper (version 5)
has been drafted and confirmed by the WHALE Council.

Notable changes are:

1, Mission Statement wording
2, Addition of Core Values
3, Addition of History
4, Update of 70-30 split on reinvestment vs. WHALE buyback
5, Updating of all live links
6, Updating on WHALE DAO Governance structures
7, Notation on iterative processing for whitepaper management
8, Language has been toned down for more objective reading

What does not change are:
1, Tokenomics
2, $WHALE utility
3, Our dedication towards a transparent, equitable and community driven future

While the recent move to a multisig wallet and the decentralization-of-everything related to WHALE does indeed provide a key improvement to the nature of the token, please do your own research (DYOR) and do your own DD (DYODD).

The updated WHALE Whitepaper can be found here:
docs.google.com/document/d/19aW3ztqEwIeks1HNLYI2un1PpXRYBCc1J0uo5vJMgq0/edit?usp=sharing

Currently the team is working on putting the Whitepaper on-chain (as was done with the Charters for the Council and the DAO), and future changes to the Whitepaper will require supermajority consensus from both WHALE DAO and WHALE Council members.

As the space evolves, changes to how the project needs to remain culturally relevant, operationally efficient and profitable will undoubtedly arrive. This means that the Whitepaper will need annual/ bi-annual updates with the blessing of WHALE Members. We expect an iterative process driven by community discussion, debate and consensus.

Items that should never change are the tokenomics of the project and the core values that WHALE Members represent as an industry thought and collection leader.

Wanna hear the voice behind the posts?

I'll be hosting WHALE Hour on the Whale Members Discord later tonight:

For those of you who might be unfamiliar with some of the projects I've founded, Whale Members is the largest community owned NFT collection with a focus on high-end digital art, metaverse real estate and other digital collectibles.

The latest valuation of these assets was conservatively estimated at $43.6 million:

$WHALE was the OG social token (i've been in the space a while) and has moved on to now representing ownership of the assets in the WHALE Vault.

We'll be going live at 9pm (+8 GMT) so if you're interested, feel free to drop by. Will probably be talking about some DESO and Focus in addition to a quick recap on the project as well as where we are headed ❤️
