Twitter is amazing 😭 Some random anon sees one Zoom screenshot, spots a few Indian/African faces and suddenly becomes a “researcher” with a bear thesis on Arc. Serious question: you think YOU researched Arc better than a16z, BlackRock, Apollo, ARK, ICE, General Catalyst, Haun, SBI and SC Ventures? 💀 You think these guys put $222M behind Arc at a $3B valuation with no DD? No legal checks? No team checks? No background checks? Just saw a pitch deck and aped? 😭 And somehow YOU discovered the “truth” because you stared at a community-call screenshot for 20 seconds? bro be serious 💀 The funniest part is: THE PEOPLE IN THAT SCREENSHOT ARE NOT EVEN THE FULL ARC CORE TEAM OR DEVS. They’re mostly community-side people: Circle community Arc Architects regional leads ambassadors meetup organizers moderators ecosystem contributors Yet CT sees brown faces and instantly cooks a bear thesis 😭 And why are we suddenly forgetting about $PROVE (Succinct), $ZK (Boundless), $POL (Polygon) and countless other crypto projects with Indian founders, engineers or major contributors? Did nationality suddenly become a technical metric? 💀 Also bro… why are you using Google then? 😭 Google’s CEO is Indian. Might as well stop using Microsoft too. So what exactly is the thesis here? You think BlackRock, a16z, Apollo etc never saw who they were funding? You think they deployed hundreds of millions without knowing the team? You think your $500 portfolio did better DD than firms deploying hundreds of millions? 😭 Are you investing more than them? Do you have better access than them? Do you have a bigger research team than them? Or did you just inspect skin color from a screenshot and call it “research”? 💀 Criticize Arc tech. Criticize tokenomics. Criticize decentralization. Criticize execution. That’s fair. But: Indian/African people in a community call = bad chain is not a thesis. That’s just racism wearing a “researcher” badge 😭 CT is full of clowns fr.
