My fellow retards,
When phon/ongod uses we, it is generally in reference to a silo of components which amount to one particular individual’s experience of reality over time. There is a complex interplay beyond that veil, and not much gain to elucidate on the subject because phon/ongod’s function to decide what stays inside those silos, and what is revealed to the outside is well-heeled and refined.
In this nascent project however, there isn’t much precedent for how to approach show-and-tell time. It’s not a surprise that the Texas Architect’s revelation of an outside team competing to be the first Phonon DEX has ruffled some feathers.
In this case though, “We” (phon/ongod) agree with phren Rooster in sentiment, thought not necessarily in desired response.
Phon/ongod has been diligent about greeting new members of the discord. Phon/ongod recognizes the power of group culture, and the importance of incorporating everyone into a greater Phonon Phamily that works towards Liberty and Justice for all.
“We” (royal we, incl. Rooster et al.) are concerned by a mystery team connected to a mystery community member working on a mystery project that has designs on building out a core phonon functionality.
This could be a gem that has just fallen into the DAO’s lap. It seems safe to say that all the teams who will build out PHONON’s functionality aren’t here yet, and they will have to arrive somehow.
At the same time, Phren Rooster’s instinct to jealously defend the flock isn’t entirely misguided. There will be attempts made to fleece the DAO. The community is the first line of defense against attacks of that nature.
Phonon’s in-group is strong, and it is phriendly. Legends and nobodies united in pursuit of a common goal of digital financial liberty and a better future. Varying degrees of mercenary motivations to be sure, but everyone recognizes the value here.
Is it a lot to expect that teams who want to build upon Phonon, or are *already* building upon Phonon would also want to be in the discord talking to the community?
It is extremely odd to have one individual who owns the relationship with a team that wants funding from the DAO. This is a community project, this is open source, these conversations should be brought into the light.
If a team is interested in receiving funding from Phonon DAO then it’s time for them to spin up some discord handles and join the community. Phon/ongod will always opt to fund one of our own kind over some external team with a nebulous and hidden connection through a “current community member”.
Those who seek the favor of phon/ongod will make their way to the Phonon DAO discord.
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.
Doing my best not laugh here.
