basil (recession arc)
@itsbasil
in true basil fashion, here’s my max-character, grammatically incorrect wall of text & then i will never talk about it again 1) i’m still trying to process this; i don’t know that i can. i can’t imagine what the team is feeling; truly gut wrenching news. there’s not really much else to say: it’s fucked. in terms of the eco, its quite possibly the worst thing to hear when already dealing with a 4-day compounding hangover: instant sweats & a pounding headache to say the least 2) i yapped with “alex” through it all. as he came out of degendao; into openventures, into his dao/swap, into clanker. i never once got the feeling that he may be a bad actor & the dao supported him from day one. personally, we talked a lot about his past struggles; wanting to provide for his family; wanting to build better open systems—we shared a lot of that. it makes me question everything i thought i knew. it’s hard not to consider pathological angles

3) trust is all we have & that is now broken. from what we know, this was team comp runway stolen to cover gambling debts. immediately my mind hoped that it was for health or family-related expenses, but from his own mouth, it was not. it was greed… it wasn’t open market action; it wasn’t a coordinated insider rouse; this was black & white theft from the very team he helped build. forgiveness in this context is beyond difficult

thank you for sharing - we all have our story and it’s a hard one to swallow that a friend to many who built and pathed a new trajectory has now left us with memories and unanswered questions
