As someone very active in the @base and Clanker ecosystems, I wanted to say a few words about today’s drama.

First of all, as many have said before, this team is extremely cracked. @dish is an amazing dev and an even better person. @btayengco, @m00npapi.eth, @fffflood, @lobstermindset.eth — legends, all.

The fact that they’ve trauma-bonded and pulled together to move forward in this moment when the temptation could be to cut and run is, in my view, very long-term bullish.

There will obviously be uncertainty and volatility, as with anything of this nature, but I don’t doubt the team will continue to ship and support the ecosystem they’ve helped build.

love the nuanced take. i woke up wanting to write something like this but you beat me to it and said it better. humans are complex! we contain multitudes.

one question that remains in my mind -- whats next? like, @proxystudio.eth could just disappear from FC and crypto, and thats the easier move. or he could work to come clean and regain trust and become more fully himself: a person who did a lot of harm and also a lot of good to so many in this community

do we here on FC feel there's possibility for redemption? what does that path look like?

I want him to take the path of regaining trust, but that also comes with some people who's trust he directly broke never forgiving him. That's okay too.

for sure. and forgiveness doesn't have to mean you condone what happened, just that you accept that it did happen and it's in the past and there's nothing we can do to change it now.
