Very much enjoyed this thread. Seems spot on to me. Thanks for spreading the word on what we're trying to accomplish!

@POKTnetwork is a hidden gem 💎 It's a critical piece of #Web3 infrastructure, but 99.9% of people don’t understand it b/c it’s very technical Below I’ll explain how it works in terms a 5 year old can understand (and why I expect demand for $POKT to skyrocket) 🧵 🐙 👇

Not a lot of double greens on that list! It's great to be the privacy outlier, but I do wish (for the ecosystem's sake) that wasn't such a big differentiator. 🤷
We're happy to see our status on Chainlist has been updated to 🟢🟢! Privacy is critical to our users, and the collecting of IP addresses will never be on the table, ever. chainlist.org/chain/1 #privacymatters

LeanPocket is one of those amazing why-didn't-we-do-this-before? kind of optimizations. Great work!
It's official - the LeanPocket beta release just dropped! 🎉 LeanPocket brings MAJOR optimizations to the Pocket Core Client, cutting the cost of running multiple nodes by up to 99% 💪🏼 Huge shoutout to @ThunderheadWrld & @PoktFund for all their work 👇 hubs.ly/Q01s_n870

Take that, so called "crypto winter". We're still here, and still building.

Two years in blockchain years is like 10 in normal company years. And it's no small feat to be still growing, even now. Amazing.
⌛Today Pocket Network turns 2🎂 since our Mainnet launch ‼️‼️ We remain amazed🤩 at our unstoppable growth since starting our journey. 🚀 #POKT #web3

Great graphic here. Impressive to be able to distill a rather abstruse (but important!) proposal to something that anyone can understand. Bravo.
Great simplified explanations of PIP-22 forum.pokt.network/t/pip-22-… provided by @poktpool that recently passed on @POKTdao. @POKTnetwork @thepoktopus $POKT

1/ This past weekend, I published my open letter to @POKTnetwork putting the spotlight on $POKT economics. The @POKTdao needs to consider changes to parameters that affect costs of the network to promote short and long-term sustainability. forum.pokt.network/t/an-open…

It's pretty satisfying to be experiencing "the network effect" when you are the network.
Well, that was fast . . . . 🚀

to put the recent growth of relays in context: 9 months ago we were doing 5m - 10m a day on track for ~650m ath today it took us about a year from launch (july 2020) to get the quality of service and product to a level that spurred the last 9 months (july 2021) of growth

Our blog post about inflation from last week is already out of date (mentioned 200-300M relays). 🤯
The numbers speak for themselves . . . . 🎉🚀 #web3 #blockchain #Infra
