damn listening to woj on @gmfarcaster feel like I now need to address a bunch of stuff on this, whereas I thought the outcome was kind of chill prior

founder /openventures | /proxyswap | tokenbot @clanker

I also felt immediately defensive of woj and supercast. I know how hard he's worked. will work. 

to me the main clarification I'd like to make is that a token cannot steal your brand. woj's brand is so much more than dog or superanon name. its many actions accumulated.

a token is a dumb few lines of code. a bot is a bot.

really all I cared about this entire time is that no matter what happened to random token (it turned out many cool and good things!) that woj win. because thats how it should be. you build, you own. 

this isn't annoyance with woj for his feelings, or his perspective, not even really disagreement in any big way, just wanted to put this out there as now its a public story I guess vs. trying to handle it.

as always, let me know if there is anything clanker team can do to prevent anything you dont want to happen. in permissionless, open networks its hard to control what happens, but we can help with specific stuff! and are happy to

one very basic thing

my motivation personally to send 11m $anon tokens to woj was not to bribe him, I really am not invested in any single clanker beyond what interesting stuff anyone does with that clanker, or what lore led to or comes from it. tokens are tokens. woj mad? burn em, deploy a new one 

I specifically *did* care that should anon blow up, woj and supercast have meaningful upside. the token's I sent (not even just from me btw, but from all of proxy studio merc cap shareholders, it was my final trade before shutting down the party) are now valued around $159k. at the time, much less, $ wasn't the point. it was divesting myself of ownership over that which wasn't mine anyway. because a token launched by an anon using a bot doesn't belong to anyone. 

its also not true that woj/supercast lacked ownership over the token, they always owned what any clanker requestor does: 40% of the fees. meaningful ownership in any future success a token has. we thought a lot about this!
