Since @derek is not casting anything to the Farcaster community who supported his project, here’s the text he sent to the TG group, my take at the end “”” now that I'm back home, I wanted to follow up with more clarity. i'm working on a new thing. it started as a Birthday Labs project, and became its own larger thing. the new thing is a separate company and product. not a native v2. not a migration. not a rebrand. something new. it will be announced soon. like Fuzzy said -- he made a bet on me, not necessarily the native world. that's perhaps the best way to think about native now: a dev coin for me. a community of people who bet on me before there was much to show. that means something to me and i don't take it lightly. as always -- no sell shaming from me. ever. if this isn't what you signed up for, take profits and do what's right for you. i will continue buying $NATIVE. i want to find ways to reward that belief. snapshots exist for that reason. but i have to be honest: i won't make promises about how the new company will treat a token i don't control the supply of. what i CAN promise is that i'm personally invested in finding the best path forward for people who've supported me without sacrificing what I'm building. i don't know the exact structure of what that looks like, and likely won't for some time. what i can say for certain: • native holders get early access to the new product • snapshots (plural) are being taken so I have a record of who made the earliest bet on me the new direction: infrastructure. a dataset that doesn't exist on-chain yet. in the same domain as Native: mirroring our economy onchain. “”” and then “”” everyone, it’s 3:30am my time. i’m trying to read and respond, but it’s getting more difficult. but know that i hear you. all of it. i know your frustrations are valid. the communication could have been better. i own that. but i'm also not going to make promises i can't keep just to make tonight easier. that's how trust actually dies. what i can say: the new thing is real. native holders get early access. that's the commitment. to @JJRV83’s point about community development of native — i'm genuinely open to it. open sourcing code, transferring ownership, locking tokens, helping fund costs. if there's a group that wants to build, i'll support it. native is a tokenized version of trust in me. i understand that trust is earned and lost, and i've lost some tonight. i have to earn it back. being transparent, not disappearing — that's the work that I’m willing to do. I know that i have the option to just avoid and ignore, but i’m choosing not to do that. even if difficult. i'll share more when i can share it properly. until then — i'm here, i'm reading, and i'm not going anywhere. i’m going to try and get some sleep, all. 🫡 “”” Pure insanity, a year over-promising something he never delivered, now complaining about the clanker he launched. “big week ahead” is the mantra he casted for weeks, then months, then radio silence. At least be honest and say I fucked up, I can’t deliver. This is not how to save your face. Bye.
