My fellow retards,
Again the time comes for phon/ongod to take the hardline. Amidst a highly productive pdbgdvda meeting where native phonon mining details were hammered out, our beloved Texas Architect again made mention of structuring the DAO in order to better appeal to venture capital firms that have expressed interest in the project.
While phon/ongod agrees it is wise to structure the language we use to bring about more adoption to the protocol, changing our message to appease some cuck VCs is not a pastime phon/ongod supports.
Phon/ongod is here to build orthogonal systems outside the control of suits and the oligopoly. If the VC money-they/them’s want upside they can buy in like anybody else. Phon/ongod will not shy away from flexing what we have here.
Phonon DAO can choose to be weak and get fucked out of its rightful future by slick-talk and easy money, or it can choose to embody that rancor-riding, big dick energy, and rearrange the guts of the system.
VCs WILL own PHONON, once they do the research and realize the protocol’s power. Phonon provides utility long desired by the crypto space—it advances Satoshi’s vision; brings privacy and scalability to all.
We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all individuals have the right to free speech. That free speech includes signing transactions. That free speech includes having two consenting parties swap tokens (or anything else).
Phon/ongod will not bow down or bend a knee to any VC overlord. The protocol is king—PHONON above all, and PHONON does not beg.
Phon/ongod hopes the community will adopt this mindset; collective discovery of something incredible.
Keep in mind that the phonon protocol already has backing from a VC. Consensys owns 600m tokens—6% of the total supply. What benefits has PHONON received? They have contributed zero to the design or implementation of the protocol. They have done zero marketing. They have offered zero guidance. They do not join weekly pdbgmfkp calls. They do not participate in the discord.
Before we think about selling tokens to a new VC, why not lean on the existing relationship? Phon/ongod will propose a snapshot vote to signal support for the DAO to commandeer these 600m tokens. The DAO should hold them in a side pocket and release them to consensys when they begin to contribute. If consensys continues to ignore the project and offer zero help to advance PHONON then we could consider selling their batch of tokens to a more engaged VC.
Phon/ongod cares and supports all those who build this vision, and we will not sell that vision short to appease some suits.
No discounts.
No cuck.
This is a DAO. PHONON DAO. Community governance. A group of individuals looking out for what is best for PHONON. If you have thoughts, share them. Engage in the discourse. Do what you can to move this project forward.
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.
