Yeah... it's been a busy day for Safemoon. For people that aren't aware or are looking for more info, here's a brief summary of what happened.
- Charles Karony, John's brother and executive assistant, was having a private conversation with some of the Safemoon moderators.
- Charles received information that Jack, Papa, and Hank had quit. He then released that information in the private conversation.
- One of the involved moderators then posted that information publicly.
- This information caused a panic that is ongoing. This is partially due to the fact that people keep taking FUD (which has already been countered) and spreading it without verifying any of the details. Fear spreads faster than rationale and logic.
- There are some people more interested in attacking the token, whom have taken the FUD and are pushing it hard on people. I think the angle they're using is something along the lines of "if this one thing is true, the rest of it must be true also!"
- Before anyone panics... Charles had posted that the information he had released was bad info. He corrected himself and said the only person that had left was Hank.
- John confirmed that Thomas isn't leaving. Thomas has confirmed that Thomas isn't leaving.
- A post was released by Safemoon acknowledging that Hank was no longer a part of the Safemoon team and thanked him for his contributions.
- Yes, there are rumors that Jack is taking a break. I haven't been able to confirm this anywhere. To be frank, and no disrespect intended to Jack, I don't really care enough about it to look into it.
- Between the three people that were mentioned in the bad information, the one that would likely hurt us the most by leaving is Papa. Safemoon was around before Jack. Supposedly Hank was asked to step aside so that someone more capable could take over as CTO to advance the company forward. But Papa is the heart of Safemoon. He's our crypto wizard. He was there "when the old magic was written." He's the one that's assembling our blockchain, which is going to be the foundation for everything that Safemoon does in the future. Papa isn't leaving. That's really the big takeaway from today. That's all I care about at the moment.
Just to cover this point again...
- Supposedly Hank was asked to step aside so that someone more capable could take over as CTO to advance the company forward. I know it doesn't instantly read as good news, and certainly it isn't for Hank... and no offense to Hank at all... but this is actually really good news. This demonstrates an awareness of where the company needs to improve and proactively taking strides forward to make it happen. I'm not blaming Hank for anything. I know others are trying to make him out to be the scapegoat and I'm not advocating that either. What I'm saying is... they've likely already found someone to replace him with more impressive capabilities.
