I've always tried to be open with you all, so here's what's been on my mind.
The last few days I've been deeply reflecting on Reply's future, especially after @burr.eth's thought-provoking pivot suggestion. I've talked to many of you, and it reminded me why I built Reply in the first place - to create a high-signal channel through the noise, thanks @jeyloo.eth.
Here's what I realized:
Reply achieved its core mission. We have a working tool that solves a real problem. But the proposed pivot would essentially mean building a completely new product - months of work that would take us away from what's already working.
I'll be honest - my energy for major Reply changes has decreased. Not because I don't believe in it, but because I feel we've reached a good, stable point. The core works and will continue working.
So here's the plan:
Reply continues as a stable, useful tool
@web5manuel (CM) will lead day-to-day operations
I'll handle technical support and critical fixes.
The 5% commission will be used to buying back $REPLY tokens.
I'm exploring new ideas that excite me, and who knows - they might create synergies with Reply down the road. No promises, just possibilities.
I know some of you wanted a big pivot. Others just want stability. I can't please everyone, but I can be honest with everyone.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Let's see where it takes us.
