Grat Pack,
I have been sitting with this for a while because this one hurts.
$TYSM was built from a real place. It was never just about a token. It was about gratitude, community, showing up for each other, giving thanks, and trying to create something positive in an ecosystem that often forgets the human side.
Over the life of the project, the team and I brought real value. We built, hosted, gave, rewarded, tipped, supported, and kept showing up. I personally covered fees, tip fuel, hosting, giveaways, and community costs from my own pocket because I believed in what we were building and I believed in all of you.
I did that for as long as I could.
The market around us changed. The ecosystem collapsed in ways none of us wanted. Momentum faded. Liquidity disappeared. And I kept trying to hold it together because walking away from something built around gratitude was never easy for me.
At one point, I told the Grat Pack clearly that I could not sustain this for much longer.
I know some people may look at any project ending and use words like rug pull. I understand the emotion behind that, but I need to be clear. A rug pull is when someone starts something with the intention to deceive people and take from them.
That was never TYSM.
That is not my character.
That is not who I am.
I did not profit from this ending. I did not walk away with a win. I gave to this project, financially and emotionally, until I reached the point where I could not keep carrying it in the same way.
What I struggled with most was not writing an announcement. It was facing the feeling that I let people down. That is why I took time to respond. Not because I did not care, but because I cared deeply.
From the highest point to where we are now, the loss in value is real. I know that. I respect that. I also know many of you gave your time, your belief, your energy, your posts, your efforts, your support, and your trust.
That means something to me.
To everyone who stayed, supported, showed up, gave thanks, and helped keep the spirit alive, thank you.
The project may not have survived the market, but the gratitude was real.
The community was real.
The effort was real.
The value we tried to create was real.
I will always be grateful for the Grat Pack.
$TYSM for the Flow πβ¨
