AOB

A lot has happened recently, and before I move on, I want to clear the air one final time. For over a year and a half, AOB stood on a few simple principles: integrity, accountability, and protecting the people inside the community. We didn't allow gambling. We didn't encourage shilling low-cap coins to members. We didn't chase every opportunity at the expense of people's financial well-being. Sometimes that made us unpopular, but I believed then, and still believe now, that leaders should prioritize people over profit. The situation that ultimately led to AOB's downfall started when I removed a member after receiving multiple complaints over an extended period regarding conduct and integrity. It wasn't personal. It wasn't because of a disagreement. It was a decision I felt was necessary to uphold the standards AOB was built on. I chose not to publicly air out private details or attack anyone's reputation. Unfortunately, that also meant many people only heard one side of the story. From there, narratives formed. I was called controlling, too strict, a dictator, and many other things. People are entitled to their opinions, but I know why I made the decisions I made, and I can live with them. What hurt most wasn't criticism. It was discovering how many conversations were happening behind closed doors that never happened directly with me. People I had supported, advocated for, helped create opportunities for, and stood beside for over a year suddenly had plenty to say once the environment became difficult. At the same time, I was dealing with major personal and financial changes. I began selling assets and stepping away from positions I had held for a long time. That decision had nothing to do with a lack of belief in the ecosystem. The reality is I needed a reset in my own life. I've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, countless hours, and an enormous amount of energy into this ecosystem and its people. Not because anyone asked me to. Because I believed in it. I have made bad trades. I have made mistakes. I am human. What I have never done is scam anyone, steal from anyone, manipulate anyone, or intentionally harm anyone for personal gain. When AOB came to an end, I made the decision to transfer community assets, distribute what I felt was right, donate the remainder to charity, and fully separate myself from the situation. Not because anyone forced me to, but because I wanted a clean break and a fresh start. Looking back, I learned a lot. I learned that leadership can be lonely. I learned that not everyone who stands beside you during good times will stand beside you during difficult times. I learned that intentions can be misunderstood. And I learned that sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is let go. I don't hate anyone involved. I don't wish failure on anyone. I genuinely hope everyone succeeds. As for me, this chapter is closed. I'm grateful for the people who supported me, the lessons learned, and the experiences along the way. God does everything for a reason. I'm moving forward with a clear conscience, no resentment, and no desire to continue reliving the past. To everyone who was part of the journey: thank you. I wish you nothing but success, peace, and happiness. Upwards and onwards. 👁️❣️

Truth is; @AbstractChain has the easiest 0-1 onboarding in crypto. Both for natives and consumers. You can instantly sign up with your email; but also with a DEX wallet if you choose so. You can fund your account with Apple Pay, debit card or bridge over from another chain in the matter of seconds. The Portal instantly allows you to interact with and engage with dApps like the App Store does. These dApps on the Portal have also been audited and checked over, which costs $$$. Safe and easy interaction. Streaming is available to all users who interact with the chain and achieve at least Gold tier which is not hard to do after few weeks of getting used to Abstract. A Social On-Chain identity is slowly being build through Tiers, Badges and NFT/Token holdings to your User Profile account. Mind you Abstract just celebrated its 1 Year anniversary, everything is still new, the team is shipping consistently and the teams building dApps and projects on chain are only getting bigger and better. We have seen projected like Aborean provide DeFi layers and 0x provide liquidity layers. We have games launching with amazing PMF like Ruyui: ROE, MoG, Gigaverse and so many more. Even Prediction Markets (Myriad) led by Farokh & Co. Communities being built around each product and the Consumer Chain in general. With great minds like @LucaNetz, @CashBowie & @0xCygaar at the helm.. it’s still very early. Happy Super Bowl Sunday Fam ✳️
