I think people still don’t understand why people are mad. Not you, i know you do. Also the non existing communication since shut down and just acting like nothing happened, made everything worse. On top of it, bag biased comments by people who put the Abstract team and Luca on a pedestal and called the action heroic, made people crazy. I can understand why they decided to shut down the chain, the phrase of ‘businesses fail’ is accurate. And yes everyone is responsible for their actions/decisions. But so does Luca/Abstract team, no? Especially considering their actions/decisions affect looot of people while an individual’s action only hurt the individual. With all the promises, all the hypey phrases used along the years, all the talks with users and builders 5-6 weeks prior shutting the chain regarding how much of a comeback Abstract will have, and non existent communication after shut down, on top of it some PP team members & big chunk of holders actually talking down on the community, when you combine all of this (and this is a very condensed summary btw) I think the reactions and the time this topic was a trend on CT is even little considering how many people got burned. Not even only in financial terms, also time, effort, network? Mid to end of August, people were told to spread the word that Phase 2 is coming, the chain is not shutting down and one hell of a comeback is coming, TGE is coming 💀 I find it hard to believe that they got to the conclusion of “oh people we are not making money lets shut the chain right now” on the last week or so. I keep hearing that Luca will make an explanation to all of it and why it happened all of a sudden, and I am waiting for it, but growing a bit impatient as a former Abstract builder who was also promised a lot. + I went to Abstract Discord before they closed it down, and talked to the a few community members, there are/were so many upset people who the PP holders or a few team members just tried to shut down. This is so wrong. Cause we all know if this happened by a different team, everyone would be going rogue. I don’t understand the fanaticism around PP. There is a right and there is a wrong. And if we don’t point out wrongs and allow people to express why they think that way, then lets just close down CT and hand it over to only people with specific project bags. Also I said this is discord but let me repeat: it is wrong to feel happy for PP floor price going down. -there are also people who invested time and money into PP, FP going down hurts holders more than the rich PP team who is getting monthly Pengu unlocks- (but this is just an outcome of the actions by the team so, nothing the Abstract community can do either) And to note: I do not agree or support people who made threats/insults/memes about the Abstract team - although, some members combined from Abstract and PP are famous for their racist comments and I think they deserve whatever comes their way. And I saw someone commenting on your response with “counter argument, everyone makes big promises, this is what the space wants, its normal” this is basically what is wrong with this space lmao. Cause actions don’t have consequences, everyone can just say whatever the fuck they want, and if they are a good sales person, hell yeah. This is why the space is not being trusted. Especially if the promises come from TRUSTED sources, there should be consequences and the people with bag bias should not be just closing their eyes cause it hurts their bags or they cannot endure seeing their fav builders getting called out. And in this case, the builder ordered the community to call him out and hold him accountable. So, I don’t see anything wrong.
