Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. *Long winded* $Thiccums was launched on NOSH because it was a new platform and we saw an opportunity to be early. We were right about that opportunity. The platform introduced a really interesting concept: backing a memecoin with NFT airdrops. We pushed forward with Thiccums, and everything worked as intended. Roughly 80 Sappy Seals have been sent to Thiccums holders, and the Sappy Seals community showed up. Seeing that support and being able to give something back to our holders was awesome. — Where we stand now: NOSH made some concerning moves this week. Funds were moved out of vaults and put to use elsewhere, including an investment in $Punks and Sappy Seals being swept for distribution to $Thiccums holders. At first, it was nice to see the Thiccums community getting some love and receiving more seals. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t look closer at how those decisions were made and where the funds came from. The ability to access vaults and move funds in ways holders may not have expected is concerning. The on-chain movements raise legitimate questions, and those questions deserve answers. I’ve been looking deeper into the transactions, and there’s more to understand. I’m not going to pretend I have every answer, but I don’t think these concerns should be brushed aside. It’s understandable that holders are uncomfortable with the platform right now. We share those concerns, and we believe the community deserves transparency. (At this time the tek is still operating as intended) — What does this mean for Thiccums? Thiccums is a meme created by the community, for the community. It launched on NOSH, but the coin itself can exist with or without the platform. The bigger issue is that fees currently route to a NOSH vault, which is how we were able to run the Sappy Seals flywheel. Without NOSH, those sweeps and airdrops aren’t currently possible in the same way. That is something we believe can be fixed, and we’re working on it. The only connection Thiccums has to NOSH is that we were early on the platform and built around the technology it offered. We believed in the idea, and we still believe in what we built with the community. We did promote NOSH, and we did believe in the platform. I’m not going to apologize for seeing an opportunity in technology that worked and brought something new to the space. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore what’s happening now. We can appreciate what worked while still questioning the decisions being made. — What happens next? Thiccums isn’t going anywhere just because the platform it’s currently connected to is facing questions. Some community members have already come together, and we believe there’s a path forward. It will take work, and we don’t have every piece figured out yet, but we’re going to push to make it possible. We want to be clear that we hear the concerns because we have them too. What we’ve seen unfold over the last 24 hours is concerning, and unfortunately, much of it is outside our control. Maybe more information will put things into perspective. Maybe there are developments ahead that we need to prepare for. Either way, we’re not going to ignore what we’re seeing. Thiccums has always tried to be positive with the Sappy Seals community and transparent with our holders. We believe it’s only right to share our thoughts instead of staying silent. There’s no judgment toward anyone who decides to step away based on the recent developments. Everyone has to make the decision they feel is right for them, and we respect that. We’ll continue looking into the fund movements and working toward a solution for Thiccums. The community is what makes this project what it is. That doesn’t change because of one platform. We’ll keep building. Sappy Seals Can’t Die. -Thiccums
