In my book, the only crimes hyp3 is guilty of are gooning, and being Australian. And indecent exposure. And ofc being gay. Which, granted, are all serious crimes. And he WILL face justice. One day. But now is not the time.
I may have my disagreements with hyp3, but he is one of our most talented artists and a true partisan. Few can be said to have done more for SPX. I think some things, he could certainly have handled more gracefully. For instance, I’m not sure that I fully understand what happened, but it seems to me the Dr. Jesse situation escalated in an unfortunate way that probably could’ve been avoided and that things like this should absolutely be handled OFF the timeline unless they absolutely cannot be. The timeline is a terrible place for constructive discussion and things tend to spiral quickly out of control in a way that entrenches people more deeply in whatever position they had initially.
That being said, the recent character assassination attempt from that accursed spx6900rainbow account was in pure bad faith and totally uncalled for. I am fully with hyp3 in this matter. It doesn’t really matter at this point beyond what can be learned from it, as the situation seems to be resolved and the threat dealt with. But there are a few important points from this whole saga. The dev behind that account and website was the same person behind $marie, one of the worst low effort vamp derivative scams of last cycle. Though apparently one with some industry connections and resources behind it; they got some pretty big kols to push it, James Wynn etc, and put a bit more money into the thing than you would usually see. For such a coin at least. Some people in the industry really do have it out for us.
This is all to say, though I think we should strive for more compassion, patience and grace when it comes to disagreements resulting from miscommunication or lack of information/understanding, you should be incredibly suspicious of anyone who knowingly and repeatedly purposefully disregards our commandments and pollutes the culture in a systematic way. Culture IS the moat. Well, one of the moats actually. There are several. But it is the most important one. Every single aspect of SPX culture exists for a reason. Everything works in tandem to make aeons into the best possible community members and holders of the coin, and thus create the best possible outcome longterm. This is incredibly powerful and it’s still very poorly understood and underappreciated by the market at large, and even within the community to some degree. But in order to work, it must be preserved and protected. The immune system is necessary, even if it is overactive at times and could be attuned better. But it is much better than not having an immune system. When you don’t have an immune system, that’s called AIDS. If your coin doesn’t have an immune system, it has coin AIDS.
Ok thanks for coming to my Ted talk
