this might actually be my last time in crypto.View quoted post on X
i don't even know where to start. i've been going through a lot lately, i haven't seen my daughter for almost 3 weeks now, and honestly i don't have the energy i had before. i came from web2. Mergers & Agents was my first project in web3. i put everything i had into it.
i worked like crazy for 2 weeks before Elysium mainnet. the last 2 days before mainnet were basically no sleep, just answering DMs, fixing things and trying to make sure everything was ready.
i don't want to talk about all the money i spent. the Ca audit alone cost me $400. and i didn't really care about that at the time. i was building something i believed in and i genuinely loved the idea.
my plan was never complicated. the mint money was supposed to create a pool for holders. my entire calculation was around $2,300 in earnings. that's all. i wasn't expecting to get rich from this.
then came the OpenSea problem. i had already built the contract around OpenSea functionality. Kalos actually reached out to me about launching on their marketplace, but i couldn't just move everything after building the contract this way.
and then people couldn't buy on OpenSea. i even received a DM from HeroFu saying purchases were completely impossible and that someone might be carrying out a malicious attack. imagine putting all this work into something and then not even being able to give people a normal mint experience.
from a failed project dropped $1,000 to holders checks ca: 0x8A5b7dd844c641A023f5d410709311b0341D471b
i launched the token with zero bundling. zero intention of dumping my tokens. i really wanted this to work for the holders. and you know what hurts the most?
seeing AI slop projects and AI slop punks getting attention and making 20k+ while projects that actually try to build something and give something back to holders get ignored.
and please don't make this about Elysium or the chain. that's not the point. the bigger problem is CT itself. everyone talks about supporting builders, but a lot of the time nothing happens until a KOL talks about a project. people just follow the attention. without KOL support, it's like you don't even exist. i'm not writing this to ask for sympathy or to blame anyone for everything that happened.
i'm just tired.
i gave this project a lot of my time, money and love. maybe more than i should have.
and honestly, after everything happening in my personal life too, i don't know if i want to do this anymore.
maybe this is where my crypto story ends.
