From the start of @algorand the focus has been on the tech. And tech remains our focus. There is no way to instantly fix broad negative disruption across every sector of the economy. So we focus what we know. Build the best tech. Build real partnerships. Look long term. Win.

Also this will possibly be the largest #decentralized governance vote ever. Compare @Algorand to other projects that claim ‘decentralization’ but have 4-5 devs that fix outages or change their ‘C’ executive titles as a smokescreen to say they are now ‘decentralized’. #algo4real .

Amidst a stock and crypto market crisis, $ALGO users have already locked 2.4B tokens in governance (almost 40% of total supply). Markets might be in doubt, Algonauts are not. If you wonder what makes them so confident? FA. Algorand $1.50 in 2021 is $ETH at $8 in 2016.

I want to thank everyone for this amazing achievement. 10k! When I look back on this it will be a crown jewel in my professional life and likely something I mention on my tombstone. I’d also like to thank the academy and my agent @Scaramucci for making this possible.
