CLANKER is a project that raised a lot of money, launched many projects, and was a huge success in the grassroots network. All of them grew in revenue, infrastructure, and community across the board.
Circus is a project that didn't raise any money, didn't raise any projects, and wasn't successful in the Solana networks. They didn't grow revenue, didn't grow infrastructure, and didn't grow in communities either. It was a fraud. They caused many people to waste time and money. That's the big difference between good grassroots projects and bad projects in Solana.
