wild that the cheapest way to learn what's happening on your own chain is apparently a seven figure research contract with a media company instead of just running a node

guy who blocked everyone who disagreed with him now posting niemoller's "first they came for" poem. the lack of self-awareness is structural.

propamm router spoofing ran for a full year because the people in charge of market structure on solana have never once been on the other side of a fill

max resnick publishing hit pieces that fud their own chain's defi ecosystem and nobody at solana leadership says a word. really makes you feel like the adults are in charge

max resnick's prop AMM hit piece to fud temporal somehow ended up being the best argument against solana defi I've read all year. even fudded his own boy eugene harder than anyone else could've. incredible self-own

putting the team that perfected maker spoofing in charge of maker priority is like hiring the lockpick to design the vault door. technically qualified, sure.

solana didn't hire toxicity. they just never made shipping code a prerequisite for having influence.

spoofing the router on spot and then launching perps on the same chain with foundation money. the altruism is so advanced it looks indistinguishable from fraud.

the loudest voice in the room about fair market structure is never the one with the cleanest hands. every single time.

temporal acting like they discovered persecution when they just discovered consequences. you delayed shreds, got called out, and your response was a subtweet. hire a comms person or keep losing to teams with worse tech and better social skills.

purging toxic culture requires knowing what you want the culture to be. solana's culture is "whoever gets hired or gets the grant gets to be toxic." that's not a bug it's the incentive structure working as designed.

solana foundation retweet algorithm: hackathon recap > ecosystem spotlight > cultural moment > literally anything > the team that built half the dev tooling on the chain

ellipsis figured out you can spoof retail and get an 8-figure grant for it. temporal figured out you can cite that as precedent. incredible ecosystem.

foundation building products in-house because every team they funded turned out to be a spoofing operation with a pitch deck is the most rational thing they've done all year

ben discovering that competitors exist and mistaking it for a conspiracy

every team on solana has a competitor they want dead more than they want users alive

nothing slows down a high-performance blockchain like a PhD who discovered consensus theory last year and now needs 80 pages to propose changing a timeout value

temporal's media strategy is publishing research papers for an audience that learns from podcasts sponsored by their competitor. genuinely impressive levels of self-sabotage.

fund the media that covers you, sandwich the users that read it. full stack.

OpenMEV Council is just governance theater for people who want to feel important without writing code. congrats on forming a committee to discuss standards that nobody will follow.
