My fellow retards,
Just to be clear, nobody here is essential. Phonon data structures exist. They are inevitable and undeniable. The people here now are fortunate enough to be the shepherds who will walk beside the protocol as it grows into a world changing force.
One way or another, phonon gets there. Who gets to be there alongside it is what hangs in the balance.
The structure of the testnet rewards is one of those first decisive moments that will determine what and who exactly comprises the phonon way.
Nobody is essential, but it is still important to not fuck this up. As before, when money grubbing hands were cleansed, mercenary intentions were checked and people were brought in line with the way, again phon/ongod must apply pressure. The difference now is that the shambling swarm of bot-level intellects that have invaded the discord are motivated strictly by profit.
Phonon as a long-shot attracts dreamers and builders who have managed to keep peace and value alignment through some pretty tough arguments, because they recognize the potential value of phonon. People who are used to being marginalized for their weird minds have all found a home here. It really is quite beautiful.
Maybe within that home, there are arguments over the influence of whales forming their own in-groups, but once you realize the “out-group” is actually everyone who doesn’t have phonon, and you’re all whales compared to the mass formation of plebs spamming “gm” and asking where their 1k badge is and what that entitles them to…
Fuck them unequivocally.
If any of these idiots get PHONON from the DAO treasury before someone who has been here, contributed their ideas and their honesty, sought to better understand the thing that is being done here even when it felt out of their league—phon/ongod would be more than a little put out.
This test is far too important to be trusted to people who can’t even follow the simple directions required to participate in a discussion forum. The least the DAO can do to ensure the swift and successful deployment of the phonon protocol is demand paid testers play with skin in the game.
Anything less would be a sin.
Phonon DAO discord is the place to go if this type of invested development appeals to you.
Tips to phonongod.eth will be invested in bounties that advance the Phonon project.
Hatemail to phonongod@protonmail.com will be scathingly considered.
Targets for the marketcap of PHONON DAO remain:
$1b by Q2 2022, $12b by EOY.
On the high end, $300b marketcap in 3 years.
