Some thoughts on what happened recently with the rsETH hack and Tydro oracle situation:
I may have been harsh in my communications. I pressed multiple protocols several times on my account to get more responses and provide as much clarity as I could through
@OAK_Res.
I have no problem if these teams don't like me, or these protocols don't want to work with us after our coverage. When I founded OAK Research I didn't want to become a sellout. I didn't want it to affect my values and what really matters. I wanted to do things in a different way.
So if you are a protocol that communicates poorly, that deflects any responsibility, I will call it out. And I will press you until I get an answer.
I don't really care if the number of my followers is not significant enough for you because I can make my voice heard. I care about crypto and its ecosystem, and whenever I can I will push for it to be better.
We have become complacent on so many subjects, and to be honest it's a shame we still have to deal with problems that should have been resolved a long time ago.
As
@TraderNoah put it, "if you plot the pace of improvement relative to any other industry, it's abysmal". And it is. We learn just to repeat the same mistakes a few months later. And after spending 6 years full time in this industry, it is tiring to deal time and time again with the same bs.
So yeah, I'm not sorry if I offended anyone in the past few days, I will not stop doing this. Just like when your team does an excellent job, provides responses, or reaches out to answer our question, I will always recognize it and cheer for it.
I'm glad the team at OAK is aligned with me on this end and allow me to be me and press our potential clients because it is the RIGHT THING TO DO.
The day we stop pushing is the day we become part of the problem.
