Everyday is a blank slate, a chance to start a new life, to learn from the past. To move forward.

I'm not going away and will keep building.

I'm not a saint, but also not completely evil. Just human. ☯️

If you hate me, I hold nothing against you.

Yes, I did sell STARS a year ago in the Bull market, if I had known what was coming as far as market conditions I would have sold some $Juno tokens too. Was naive in thinking the bull market would last a bit longer.

Yet, hindsight is 20/20 though, and we can't change the past.

Such is life.

Certainly, I've made some mistakes. Could spend my days wallowing in them, or spend my energy elsewhere.

I will choose the later.

My biggest mistake was not being able to repair my relationship with Shane.

Will own that.

Better communication could have repaired many misunderstandings but I was too avoidant.

I'm still hella bullish on Stargaze (which is insanely undervalued at the moment).

My hope is that we can move on and still find ways to collaborate.

Will push back on this part a bit, it's a permissionless chain. I didn not work on an NFT marketplace or build a competitor (which is why Juno still doesn't have a good marketplace).

As for DAO DAO, it was mostly funded by Juno but I did pay for things as needed.

FWIW, I offered to deploy NFT DAOs in August of last year but was turned down (Stargaze was planning to build it's own DAO tooling).

The tokenomics were what they were.

Dev funds were built into the chain tokenomics, I asked for them to be updated so as to remove myself, but it was not done.

There are always multiple sides to any story, but I'm not here to defend myself.

People are angry and that's completely understandable.

NOTE: DAO DAO is more than just me, I'm not even the largest token holder.

Please leave them out of this. 🙏

Anger and hate can be directed at me.

Going forward, I still want to support Stargaze. Really think it is best to be the #Interchain NFT Hub, and my genuine hope was to see a Stargaze outpost on every chain (including Juno).

Will continue to work to support Stargaze and think about how to best make amends and repair some trust.

I did voluntarily return 30 million $STARS to the foundation to support the network.

I didn't have to do this, make of it what you will.

The high road is more interesting than the low road.

Long #Interchain.
