Re Clanker (1/2) 

Finding out about @proxystudio.eth was truly shocking to me. This is really a major blow... Yes, a bit on the financial side (and I am quite exposed to clankers), but more on the side of trust and integrity. 

Proxy and I mutually followed each other long before @dish and him made Clanker, and I had tons of productive and fun convos with him, public and in DCs. I would really like this hear his side of it, as I cannot escape making prelim conclusions when hearing a lot of the stories. 

Needless to say, I don't approve "theft" (in quotation marks bcs I don't know the full story). I do believe people can change, but I doubt I could fully trust someone that did this previously. 

And trust is really crucial here. The thing is - after getting burned a few times with honeypots, rugs and whatnot, clankers were my safe zone on Base. They could not get turned to a honeypot. They could not go to zero. I could always vouch that as a product, a clanker was sound. This is the part that hurts the most.

If you haven't already, read the full story by @wagmialexander.

Again, this is one side of the story, but it's absolutely bonkers.

After being in this space for over 7 years, you'd think nothing could surprise me. You'd be wrong. I am beyond shocked.

...until I see him last Wednesday in that loft in SoHo.

I had long wondered what I would say or do if I saw him again and here I was -- shaking with adrenaline -- needing to make a choice.

Three people confirm he is @_proxystudio so I walk over.

I ask: "Do you recognize me?"

He seems to genuinely not.

I say: "I knew you by a different name: Gabagool."

He has the audacity to suggest I'm confused.

I say: "I'm not doing that. You've got 24h to dox or I'll do it."

He drops the pretense and begs to talk. I leave.
