over the past couple of days there's been a new element on farcaster that we haven't seen much before: a project attacking another project and its founders to try to bolster its own position i want to be really clear: 1. I will defend Moxie and our team and our track record as serious builders forever and forever with vigor 2. No one needs to tear anyone else down to build yourself up. It may produce near term gains but it wont win in the long term 3. As we've said from day 0, our ambition with Moxie is to be the financial layer of Farcaster in a positive-sum way that enables everyone to win together. We will not rest and we will not waver on that mission.

I was surprised to learn that moxie had nothing to do with maxi tbh a mascot with a new name in a space where everything is tokenized, did you really not foresee that something like this would happen? not a big deal, but I do think it affects the project's reputation for people who aren't up to date with memecoins

What were they supposed to do? Genuine question. Nothing is stopping someone from creating a $jasongoldberg coin or $natedev coin. We’re on a layer of permissionless protocols

I support moxie, it's constructive criticism, not an attack I'm just saying it was highly probable this would happen and you need to plan accordingly, maybe launch a memecoin yourself that's somehow part of the moxie ecosystem (I'm not an expert tho) I hope this serves as a learning experience for future initiatives

Hmmm yeah always good to be prepared and important to learn and improve. Just not sure there’s anything Moxie team could really do about this. Launching their own meme doesn’t seem like the right call. But maybe a better planned/publicized message explaining “Any tokens besides $MOXIE are not related to our team or project and should be considered with caution”
