i could’ve taken this to the DMs,
but i think this conversation
is bigger than just us
i appreciate the honesty, genuinely
and i hear the frustration
a lot of it isn’t even wrong when you
zoom out on the space as a whole
but i’d push back on a few things
coming from a place of love
i’m not sure what i did to deserve this energy directed at me specifically
i don’t recall ever wronging you metamu
so if this is coming from a place of something you’re carrying or are
going through, i genuinely hope
you find peace in that
my door is always open via
» DMs
» a phone call
» whatever you need
but i won’t let certain assumptions
go unchallenged either
i’m on a mission every single day to connect
long lost to new people through:
» X spaces
» direct messages
» phone calls
» in person events
so please be mindful of what you
assume before speaking on
what you think you see
there’s a time and a place to share,
and a lot of what i do lives in
those quiet conversations
that never make it to
a public timeline
you mentioned watching me and having notifications on, but if you’ve really
been tuned in & paying attention
you’d know i do talk about
long lost consistently
maybe not in the packaging
you expected, but it has
always been there
and the “word salad” you’re describing
is actually appreciated by people
who have chosen
» depth over noise
» patience over hype
» substance over performance
it won’t land with everyone and
it was never meant to honestly
the bro club era you’re referencing,
that’s not us, and it never was
the people who’ve actually been
here do know the difference
four years in we’ve given back through:
» physical and digital assets
» fostering memories w/ in person events
» opened doors for people to shine & grow
» connect with others they never would have crossed paths with otherwise
that’s not a distraction,
that’s a foundation
the music, the beer, and the clothing,
amongst a handful of other items
we’ve only scratched the surface
on what long lost actually is
and where it’s going
i refuse to quit
i refuse to fold like most do
when things get hard or
the timeline moves on
and i’ll keep leading this charge and
scaling on everything we’ve laid
the groundwork for
so before assuming,
ask questions first
the conversations worth having
rarely start with conclusions
to everyone:
» who’s been here
» who’s felt it
» who knows what this community means
i see you and i’m grateful
for every single one of you
the ones who stayed know exactly what
this is and the ones who didn’t will
eventually understand why
they should have
there’s no stopping what’s started here
No disrespect at all Peanut, as obviously a loved person in the space, but what did that word salad actually mean? Like show that to a regular person or business and they are supposed to feel something and get excited, but for what? I see you in 50 spaces daily, rarely ever talking about Long Lost. Like the bro clubs are dead. They were just status clubs that literally built nothing but followers on X and fans on spaces.. But what's the substance? Where's the "thing" that everybody keeps talking about. The internet friends are nice for nobody is there IRL, I must admit is nice to know there's people somewhere all the time, but why are most of us 90% of retail holders still just passive consumers in a charts game dressed up with colorful distractions? I'm really just doing a ton of self reflection out loud, not necessarily asking you directly. I'll keep working on being the change I want to see... 😮💨
