Wanted to give a shout out to

The chain was in shambles when it was taken over and hemorrhaging cash in every direction. It's been cleaned up and the new vision is taking shape.

With his expertise, we’re ready to elevate our marketing game and connect even more with our community for new features. 🚀Follow Joseph
Had a nice conversation with
@StaciW_DC
today!
We spoke about friction points within the ecosystem, ways to help onboard new users, and ways to better integrate the Foundation and the Community.
Overall, I think it was productive and appreciated the opportunity!
$ALGO
A few takeaways from the
@AlgoFoundation
Commercial:
1) Happy to see them take a suggestion from the community
2) Happy to see them involve members of the community
3) The level of salt we're seeing from broader crypto is enough to make slugs extinct. Outrage = Engagement
I would rather see 50M Algorand be used to help wallets like Pera and Defly get audited and have beefed up security.
What is done is done. Web 3 has inherent risks and the only way to improve is to learn from our mistakes, not bail them out.
6/ As a member of the
@AlgoFoundation
Governance Advisory Committee, we would like to propose the creation of a 50M $ALGO Recovery Fund, anchored with the treasury of the
@AlgoFoundation

I decided to remove the .algo from my name.
Over time, I have realized that one of the biggest obstacles to blockchain tech adoption is the tribalism. By repping a chain tag, I am repping a tribe. No more.
The future is interoperability.
Yesterday, Algorand released their AlgoKit 2.0 Update, which allows devs to code Smart Contracts in Python.
Here's a few reasons why I like the move in a small 🧵:

Unfortunately, none of our xGov proposals passed. I am disappointed with the results as I felt the open source, no code tools could have been used to help build the ecosystem.
Such is the way of decentralized voting. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
I'll be re-proposing.
Really happy that our xGov Proposal Passed!

Inscriptions breaking chains is wild.
What's even crazier is the Algorand Standard Asset (ASA) is already what these inscriptions aim to be.

Over the last few weeks, I've been writing 🧵s about how Algorand's tech is built differently compared to other chains.
Why? Because we're not going to grow this place building things that already exist on other chains.
We will grow by building things they can't. $ALGO
Instead of FUDDING everything new to ALGO can we just let the free market decide?
Questions and transparency are important and if you don't like what you see/hear, simply don't buy. Why are we making things more complicated than they have to be?

Having more time to reflect on the events today, my initial pessimism has been turning into optimism.

Loving this new Algorand mentality of showing how good the chain is vs saying how good it is.
In the world of web 3 where almost everything is a lie or scam, proving it goes so much further.
Here's an idea for the shit/meme coiners out there:
Bridge more than just Pepe to $ALGO.
Have $ETH trading here without the gas to make it even more enticing.
I performed an experiment on the $ALGO this morning.
I sent 26,897 transactions within 1,000 block rounds. I wanted to see how much load Evil Tools can handle at once.
This experiment cost me 26.897A or $2.90 USD.

Exploring different chains and different wallets has allowed me to see what other chains are currently doing that can help.

We're going to be constantly stuck in a spiral of negativity if we always fixate on the teams who didn't make it, instead of the ones who did.
Hindsight will always be 20/20.
One of my biggest lessons learned from this bear was I wasted more ALGO trying to shuffle the next big thing instead of just saving my ALGO for established projects that don't fade after a few weeks.
When we're in something for so long, we tend to lose the forest for the trees.
Looking at things from the perspective of a newcomer helps.
Algo Twitter has been overly negative lately

A Bull Case for Algorand: Delegated Fees.
Each transaction on $ALGO is fixed to 0.001A/tx fee. Algo allows you to group atomic transactions together for one fee.
This can be used to cover the fee for the person signing!
Maybe I'm being a bit of a megalomaniac, but it feels like the skies are opening and a red carpet is being rolled out for our expansion to the $XRPL.

If anyone knows me, I've been a big critic of the Web3 business models.
They're mainly pyramid schemes, which are inherently anti-adoption as the cost for every next person gets a little higher.
That's why I'm hyped about
@Algorand
's new direction as a Blockchain as a Service!
Algorand has everything you'll ever need from a technical perspective: Smart contracts, clawback, cheap, fast, secure, and whatever else.
The only thing it's missing is a sense of humor.
If you're running a project, just be open and transparent. We're all here figuring out this new frontier and mistakes or missteps will happen. People are generally understanding as well, but once you start trying to hide things - that all gets thrown away.
Hey everyone, as a thank you to the space, I had a little creator tool commissioned.
The first part is done and it allows you to download a series blockchain (including metadata) on an excel sheet.

The major fundamental mistake in the space was 1A = 1A.
Artists and Projects held onto the Algorand instead of pulling profits to maintain a sufficient runway for a bear market.
Each NFT Series should be looked at like a small business you are running. Plan accordingly.

If you re-key your wallet, write down both keys.
The way re-key works is it takes another wallet's keys to sign on behalf of your original wallet address.
You need both wallets from that point forward. Lose the keys to the wallet you rekeyed too, and both wallets are dead.

The highlight of this meeting was that the team at Pera is looking to move away from Wallet Connect.
If you don't know, Wallet Connect is a 3rd party site that the wallets leverage to connect.
By moving away and building a more specific AVM Connection, connectivity should📈.
I have a meeting tomorrow with Pera to go over feedback.

Though to be honest, you already were since no one uses your chain
When I first got into Algorand I used to search the coin on Twitter to gauge the sentiment.
I would see Frida giving away 1 Algorand to 50 users and I was too bullish.
Now I get DMs from others asking why the Algorand sentiment is so negative.
I wonder why people won't join?
Feeling reminiscent with 2 tinyhorse turning 1, so I wanted to write a small 🧵on the History of the Horses.

@Thurstobertay
A chain is more than the technology, it's also the vibes and culture.
I'm sorry, but the vibes currently on Algo is full of little peepee energy. It's embarrassing.
Faking metrics isn't going to bring new people in, changing the culture will.
