I own 5x as much $QR as anything else on base. It was a fair launch via clanker so I had to buy it all on the open market. And I did not front run everyone. I bought in over time at various prices. That’s called betting on yourself. That does NOT mean this bet is guaranteed to work. But I will always bet on myself. Eventually, I will win.

Thanks for sharing all the context super helpful.

The idea that projects can be done but not finished is a strong one. The whole “start with the end in mind” mantra doesn’t always lead to a token mooning, an IPO, or a company.👏

Sounds like the launch of a token, and the exit price/timing for both you & the holders, were two big pressure points you’ve experienced. Were there other major tensions? I’m curious if incentives ever misaligned between early contributors and later users, or if it was hard to sustain momentum once the initial token hype faded that created room for the ‘accident’. Did the og colors vision start feeling like a trap? Or was it more of a quest for greater return on your energy/time invested? Were there moments when it felt more like managing for the token…

Don’t feel obligated to respond you’ve share a ton already. Some of us are insatiable.
