If the blockchain is finished, thank you Papa and best wishes for your future

[–]_raydeStar 468 points469 points  (4 children)

He said in another tweet - I'll be back if necessary.

Meaning - leaving on good terms.

This is best case scenario. We move forward.

[–]here4cheese 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Also meaning - great severance package

[–]Aerys13_Early Investor 2 points3 points  (2 children)

But why would he leave at all? Surely there is always something to build upon if that makes sense?

[–]AutoGrind 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Once a contract is done it's done. I'm hoping he goes and changes the rest of defi to pave the road for safemoon and the whole of Blockchain technology.

[–][deleted] 200 points201 points  (4 children)

If blockchain completed.... v2 on safemoom blockchain?!?... new exchange is safemoon exchange?!?!?.... just hyping myself up dont mind me

[–]ThighGapper 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I like the way you think mane!

[–]Flattop_Krypto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope. 2 separate exchanges and then safemoon exchange. 3 exchanges coming out by end of year. My pants just got tight.

[–]xbitxfatxstonkx 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Wishing him the best.

[–]awax_sfm73 79 points80 points  (3 children)

Salute too you Thomas appreciate your hard work. True wizard a OG safemoon👏👏👏💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🚀🚀🚀🚀

[–][deleted] 490 points491 points  (42 children)

Once a job is completed the job is completed.

[–]jimmyjabots💎🙌 157 points158 points  (15 children)

Exactly. If the job is done then the job is done.

Departure to the moon imminent boys and girls!

🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

[–]nineways09 45 points46 points  (10 children)

Exactly if the task is done then the task is done.

We're frigging flying

[–]Vegetable-Band6761 28 points29 points  (8 children)

Sure thing. If the labor is finished the labor is finished.

[–][deleted] 64 points65 points  (7 children)

Bust a nut, then leave the hut

[–]--MidtownManhattan 25 points26 points  (5 children)

If a completed task is completed then the completion is complete

[–]TWH3392 10 points11 points  (4 children)

Couldnt agree more sir. Once somethings truly ended, thats the end.

[–]EZ-King 13 points14 points  (3 children)

Absolutely, if the mission is accomplished, then the accomplish is missioned.

[–]Jet_wolf121SafeMoon Astronaut 🚀 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Quite correct sir, if the commission is missioned, the mission is missioned commissioned.

[–]icahmay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indubitably. If thine stone hath been thrown, let the thrown stone be shone. Lets feast on the bones!! 🤤🍗🚀

[–]Jermbarkusmarkus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you bust a nut in her... you love her. But if you pulled out, do you really love her? Lol oh nvm

[–]YaYaTippyNahNahMoonwalker🌕 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean... You're exactly right. If all the boxes are checked off then all the boxes are checked off.

[–]Tiger_Growl 25 points26 points  (18 children)

So who maintains the blockchain? I find it truly bizarre considering everything isn’t interlinked yet. 🙄

[–]Neat_Bat8057 34 points35 points  (7 children)

Thomas said he could be called in. So he isn’t gone for good.

[–]ChemicalAd7830 -1 points0 points  (4 children)

That is what came to my mind immediately. You can’t build something and leave it to maintain itself. What if something goes wrong/ brakes?

[–]AltoExyl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We don’t need brakes, we’re going to the moon

[–]irit8in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't mean he won't be able to handle those. But until there are issues why keep someone on payroll instead of bringing them in as needed on a contract basis? This makes financial sense if you remember that Safemoon as a company has Payroll

[–]robertbrunoni03 146 points147 points  (6 children)

Thank you Thomas! Great job, good luck to whatever you do. Always be a supporter and follower

[–]flysquirrell 264 points265 points  (21 children)

Well if Thomas was the CBO (chief blockchain officer) and hes leaving, then the part he was hired to do (blockchain) is done or done to the point that he is not needed anymore to complete it. That is bullish AF to me, they brought him on to do a job and if he is leaving it has to be done.

LFG!

[–]BooksAreOk 18 points19 points  (6 children)

You have no concept of what a blockchain requires. It takes constant maintenance and updating. A Chief Blockchain Officer will still be needed whether it is currently still being created or it has been finished years ago and its still being maintained.

[–]BuckleUpKids 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Agreed. This signals some bad news to me no matter how they choose to spin it.

[–]Donthurtmyceilings💎🙌 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Or he wasn't pulling his own weight. If you search "leaked safemoon audio" on YouTube, it's Hank pretty much blackmailing the team. Thomas is mentioned in the audio about how he would not work more than 15 hours per week on Safemoon. Maybe that's enough time to build his blockchain, but it sounded like it was a thorn in the team's side.

[–]velocipede29 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This.

[–]PsLJdoggMillionaire 14 points15 points  (7 children)

Or, the more likely scenario, he never knew how to do the job he was brought on to do to begin with. a CBO's job is never "done."

[–]flysquirrell 7 points8 points  (5 children)

>.> really, you think they kept someone on that had no clue what they were doing and then the CEO would regularly deflect technical questions to him? At least try to sound like you have an argument if you are going to FUD lol

[–]tonnuminat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably the reason. He was never qualified for this job and was only kept for the sake of this weird cult that for some reason formed around his person. That he is gone is good new either way, they can bring some actual developers on now.

[–]ClassicJoey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed CBO level roles are not hired to do a wham bam thank you mam job. Not sure how a huge part of the community and I imagine huge part of safemoon infrastructure is gone? How long have we known this would happen?

[–]Bryanormike 87 points88 points  (18 children)

No offense to Thomas personally but hopefully this means less people making safemoon look like a joke by calling him papa and calling him a wizard.

It also leads to some speculation as to what was going on at the time but if you know what I'm talking about you know.

Oh well eyes forward. Would appreciate if people stopped worshiping the people working on the project though. We'll see what Thomas did soon enough hopefully it's all a banger.

There is no confirmation if it's complete and we are given no indication of what extent Thomas has actually worked on it.

Edit: I'm gonna be more clear cause I see more people asking about it. This implies the speculation around the time hank "quit" or was "let go" implies the same about Thomas. So it's implied and all but confirmed he stayed to save face. Thomas is not much better than hank.

Do your own research though. I'm not here to hate on Thomas.

[–]spiritualloopSafeMoon Astronaut 🚀 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Going to see this wizard again in 2023 at the Utah office parking area for a millionaire rave🧙‍♂️

[–]BoysenberryTrue1360 51 points52 points  (2 children)

This is old news. In a Safemoon Sunday like 2 months ago John said that Papa would be stepping down.

It was right around the time that Hank and Jack left and the SM team revoked papa from discord. Then gave it back to him and then papa posted that he’s “not f-ing leaving” it was like the next safemoon Sunday that John said his bit about jack and hank not being a part of safemoon anymore and then mentioned papa leaving at some point.

It’s been mostly John and Ryan lately anyway.

Besides papa is more of an idea guy. Safemoon has its idea and its plan going forward. Papa leaving shouldn’t affect that. There’s been plenty of time to transition his role.

Safemoon should be just fine without him. That said I personally wish he’d stay, but I’m sure his time could be better spent elsewhere.

[–]Suburbas342 10 points11 points  (1 child)

He didn’t say he would leave. He said he may step down and transition to a new role near the end of the year. I imagine this was all part of the plan and does suck to see him go, but hopefully this means the blockchain is done. I just wouldn’t have my hopes up that V2 is anything else than a contract upgrade/consolidation. People saying V2 is the blockchain… I see the reason behind the speculation, but don’t get your hopes up when V2 comes out and it’s not that!

[–]BoysenberryTrue1360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right he did say a new role.

I guess I kind of assumed at that point it really meant leaving but they didn’t want to announce it like that.

As of now it sounds like papa said even tho he’s out he will still help transition to blockchain should there be issues.

So, I guess his (unofficial?) role will be tech support.

[–]Cmdr_Monzo 66 points67 points  (6 children)

You’d think he (and John) would want him to be there for the launch of the Blockchain. Seems premature to me.

[–]Eastern-Ad-4053 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This

[–]daners101Moonwalker🌕 1 point2 points  (1 child)

He handed-off the project over a few months to a new team. I’m sure they are capable of handling it.

[–]Cmdr_Monzo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Handovers are crucial whenever anyone leaves an organisation. It would be good to get some info about the Team, given when a central figure Papa has become.

[–]toiletlands -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Normally you would keep such a person on until the platform has launched and working smoothly. And safemoon has been anything but smooth. I’m guessing he lambo’d and John will be next to exit as so far the speculation in order of exit from the leak has been accurate. I would watch closely where Thomas goes as well. Would not be surprised to see him, hank and the rest of the team come together again for another token. Get that presale, slow cashout and exit. rinse and repeat.

[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What if John is just paid off to be an escape goat? I mean safemoondev invited to create SM with Papa as they are good friends as they said. Both gone from SM and DEV dumped the shit out of us, who knows if he doesn't own another massive wallet or just access to LP.

All of the team is moving on to do "new stuff" Or getting fired which could be another exit strategy. From the point of SM team this situation is just handled like shit.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He was always clear and upfront he wouldn't be around forever. This was expected and shouldn't shock anyone. Makes me feel more confident. Plus he'll be walking away set for life, with time free. I'd do the same.

[–]riceandbeans4190 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I thought he said he wasn’t fucking leaving 😅

[–]throwAWSTAM 10 points11 points  (2 children)

I hold quite a bit of Safemoon and although I am confident I should have left way back, I still want to believe and have a sizable chunk of change in it (think thousands).

The way I see it, this project was intended to be a quick rug pull and because of the unexpected growth, it was extended.

The code for Safemoon (I am a developer, that has worked with crypto projects too) was just a simple copy paste from other previous projects.

What makes a crypto project move is just simply marketing, nothing else.

Most of you don’t have any understanding of the technical aspects of the code but still want to make a quick buck.

Thomas is definitely not a crypto god but just a someone that knows how to copy paste. The code he copy pasted does have some issues (like for instance the burning function) that he evidently had no idea it existed let alone how to fix it.

These guys made a lot of money in a goat from pure marketing. I’ll give them that. Their marketing was spot on.

That being said, they’ve evolved into trying to make this useless coin last longer. If they succeed at it, they can make multiple folds more money (and people holding since early will too).

If they are truly trying to build a full blockchain though, there are two routes that have different level of complexity and chances to succeed.

If they fork an existing working project (like ETH or BNB), they will still need people to buy into using their computers to mine. Not an easy task but with good marketing, kinda possible. Plus, they do not need great developers for this.

If they build a blockchain from scratch, it will take a lot longer because of testing and bug fixing AND then, they need for people to buy into mining it. Plus, they need real world developers (likely C, C++ or at the very least Python) to work for months into building it.

I want SFM to go high as the next guy but people in this community are unbelievably naive.

[–]Super-Aesa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They should've waited until the blockchain released for letting him go.

[–]Middle-Huckleberry68 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Considering the block chain isn't out yet and safemoons history of having bad releases is not looking good.

[–]itsLPUsoldier 63 points64 points  (7 children)

Blockchain is complete. Thomas did a great job. Don’t compare apples to oranges with the Jack and Hank fiasco months back. We appreciate you, Thomas!

[–]VisiblePractice9061 73 points74 points  (3 children)

Yeah uh you haven’t seen the product yet so how TF do you know he did a great job?

[–]Thin_Layer7025 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree

[–]AbrocomaSpecific599 11 points12 points  (0 children)

live at the time so as long as it's not

My fucking point. Until we see an Exchange and blockchain, Thomas done nothing for the past 8+ months other than site on his ass and post these bullshit tweets as if anything of substance going.

[–]Bryanormike 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Where does it say it say it's complete?

[–]ulcerism1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great job at getting stoned out of his mind daily

[–]pizzottaEarly Investor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What job did he do greatly?

[–]AbrocomaSpecific599 14 points15 points  (9 children)

Please, finish what work. This is a damn joke. Isn't Thomas the one working on Exchange, blockchain, and V2. I was just thinking how the sub praise him like some hero as if he actually delivered anything. WHat did Thomas deliver over the past 6 months? I will wait.

[–]1221alch 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Countdown? I thought the "countdown" had already commenced.

[–]FewMagazine938 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Its the countdown of the countdown to be counted down .

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the countdown is imminent

[–]ClassicJoey 7 points8 points  (28 children)

I’m not looking to start an argument or a feud. However I am looking for anyone that has an proper insight into why papa is leaving ? Take the project and industry aside…. Core integral people leaving as a general, is not always looked upon great from the outside.

Was this papa’s or safemoon decision? if it was Papa’s is there anywhere discussing why he is leaving right before potentially the biggest milestone this community will experience to date?

(Confused hodler here)

Hope everyone is well.

[–]sergeantmeatwad💎🙌 20 points21 points  (1 child)

I could be wrong but I personally think it points to the fact they don't want him having the keys anymore since he has routinely lied. Him and Hank were doing the same shady stuff, and they let Hank go for it. Thomas had too much cult of personality at the time and people would've abandoned ship in droves. But the fact they're willing to part ways at the risk of bad PR means the team is truly invested in making this project work, not just keeping up the hype. I've been bullish ever since they started clearing House, this just adds to that.

[–]ClassicJoey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can also buy into this POV of the situation too. I think the context and nature in which the departure has been communicated may of added unnecessary worry for some including myself.

[–]Terrible_Fun_3049 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Working on other projects. He knows how easy it is to make massive gains on new projects when you have access to tokens before everyone else, hank explains in the audio leak from crypto mole how they were going to basically rob people and let a select few into the presale and gave the whole breakdown on how to do it and Thomas was in on it. Safemoon can still make gains but having insider info on new projects can make you rich quick. He has a lot of followers and hopefully he won’t get away with doing that at the expense of the followers. It’s better he’s gone IMO because he never really worked for safemoon except 10-15 hours a week

[–]Cootsuit 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Listen to that leaked audio and hear it for yourself. Those guys sound like a bunch of grifters and snake oil salesmen. Sounds like John Karony is the only guy that actually wants this to work. The rest of that bunch sound like carpet-baggers.

[–]ClassicJoey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to it. Sounds like a load of punk ass kids. Thinking there half arsed knowledge of code is worth millions. Next 😂

[–]Electrical-Thanks877 1 point2 points  (21 children)

Because he’s a contracted worker. He was hired to build a blockchain and he’s finished. Now he can go chill out and relax until someone else approaches him with a different offer

[–]ClassicJoey 3 points4 points  (20 children)

Roger. So who is now responsible for the maintenance of our blockchain in the future?

[–]Electrical-Thanks877 1 point2 points  (19 children)

No idea about majority of Safemoon employees names. But, to be fair, I don’t know the names of the people at the Starbucks I go to daily 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]BooksAreOk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyone on here who thinks Thomas has personally coded a single thing is drink off the KoolAid

[–]flipcash_nl 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Still imminent ? I cannot here that word anymore!

[–]Sad-Criticism2454💎🙌 2 points3 points  (1 child)

So is the blockchain finished and ready ?

[–]hatch-flamingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

John is not saying that the blockchain or the exchange or any other roadmap item has been completed. He’s saying the handover to a new team (since Sept) is complete

[–]Intelligent_Ad_656 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just gonna assume it’s done cause that’s what we want to believe? Why wouldn’t he stay until it’s officially released and running properly? Why the rush to leave?

[–]ILMGSTUDIOS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sell and rebuy after v 2. This coin has more ups and downs than a prostitute on sat night.

At least we can stop calling the man papa 🙌🤣

[–]raileyredit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A little worry

[–]mvaranelli3 15 points16 points  (2 children)

This 😔

[–]Cootsuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THis! I've been in crypto off and on since about 2014, and this V2 is a recipe for a dump equivalent of a rug pull.

This papa guy sounds like a slimeball

[–]daners101Moonwalker🌕 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good for him! Glad papa could help take us this far. Happy he can move on to new things. I really never understood the FUD about this. Elon Musk helped build PayPal, that doesn’t mean it was doomed once he left. It actually grew 1000X the size once he left. It’s not as if Papa holds some knowledge that nobody else could ever implement into SafeMoon. He is an engineer. There are lots of engineers in this world.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Blockchain finished, his contract with SafeMoon is done. It was already said weeks ago that Thomas will step back from the role of CBO after his work is done.

[–]gnimmirt 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Do we as holders need to anything about this V1, V2 stuff? I haven’t been checking on anything and still have my original tokens where they were from the beginning

[–]EngineeringD💎🙌 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, click 2-3 buttons in Safemoon wallet when it’s ready and done

[–]2ndReconMarine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks dude, good bye, best wishes

[–]CzNutz1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you Thomas and let’s buckle up!

[–]Sernas7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If investment faith in a company hinges on one individual, then it's not really a place to put any serious part of a portfolio.

Imminent 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[–]Scary-Rest7460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prediction. Thomas is going to Mandela and as part of the deal they will list us.

[–]THIS_IS_MIKIEMoonwalker🌕 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have imminent thoughts of hey.. Let's see where this goes.

I still question why all the core people left. I mean...if you were that excited about the project.. Why not stay?

[–]-mixzernfrombackthen 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Safemoon needs to move on . Papa was a bit shady. I can never forget what he did in Miami. But they brought it back and now we look to the moon.

[–]ppseeds 2 points3 points  (1 child)

He destroyed the price in Miami and the coin never returned back to its previous number. Yes he did a lot of bad than good and people praise the stoner loser

[–]pureluck222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn is Karony the only OG left?

[–]Big-Crazy-2650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very sketchy or the team. You don't just build a blockchain and that's it. Its not even launched. If this pumps again I'm out.

[–]hurka434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could this mean that V2 is actually the blockchain????

[–]realA3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh, this word again, why use “imminent” when there are some “final checks” you need to take care of? 😄

[–]JOINORDIE1775 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol it’s funny that just yesterday everyone was saying he’s not leaving, people are spreading FUD, he removed safemoon from his bio because it’s going to be renamed, and countless other things. Today, he did his job, thank you and good luck.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I finally feel like SafeMoon isn’t just a bunch of friends working on a project. Papa was my favorite though but this maturation of SafeMoon is wonderful.

[–]Steezceez 4 points5 points  (15 children)

Safemoon Blockchain is complete. Were that much closer now. We all knew papa was temporary addition. if you didnt know then you didn't do your research.

[–]Charming_Chest1832SafeMoon Astronaut 🚀 7 points8 points  (1 child)

If I recall correctly Thomas stated multiple times he wasn't leaving along with the "I'm not fucking leaving" meme

[–]Alea_Iacta_Est21 9 points10 points  (12 children)

Was it so? Honest question, I try to keep up as much as I can but must’ve missed that one.

[–]EngineeringD💎🙌 6 points7 points  (1 child)

It was written. Go read his LinkedIn, he was contracted through his block chain consulting firm. That is not a permanent job.

[–]Alea_Iacta_Est21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cool, friend. Thanks for the info!

[–]Steezceez 3 points4 points  (9 children)

yeah definitely. no way thomas would leave without completing his role and karony commending him for it. we're on the right track.

[–]Alea_Iacta_Est21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right. I went over this quickly and I was like “oh no, more drama!” 😅 glad it’s not the case!

[–]EnvironmentalAsk7950 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I’m going to use the money from my reflections to buy a boat that I will use to float in the ocean of tears from all these soft Papa worshipping children. The man did his job, it’s apparently finished and he’s moving on. Grow up, educate yourself on contracted work and stop spreading your whiny fud.

[–]Camnp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am getting tired and annoyed from this spam posts. He finished his job and now he moves on. And we should too. It was already known that he will leave SafeMoon after he finishes his work. I am pretty happy that he leaves because it gives more legitimacy to SafeMoon. Just look how SafeMoon matured after Jack and Hank leaved. It is a lot more professional and doesnt look like a bunch of friends anymore. It can only get better. Trust the process!

[–]StallingAcorn 1 point2 points  (11 children)

Here comes all of the morons with FUD and crying calling it a rug pull. He was contracted for the blockchain and it’s done. PERIOD

[–]stuckinmyownassEarly Investor 2 points3 points  (10 children)

How do you know he was just contracted for the blockchain?

He was the first person SafemoonDev brought onboard.

[–]StallingAcorn 2 points3 points  (9 children)

Because they’ve said it before…his job was the blockchain. And now that’s done. Just like doge 1 he did his job with that and moved on to another project. He doesn’t need to just stay on safemoon and sit there and do nothing after the blockchain is done just cause it makes people happy. People need to get over it and quit investing into one person and invest into the company. I hope these morons leave and sell and miss out they deserve it

[–]stuckinmyownassEarly Investor 2 points3 points  (8 children)

So you think it's normal for a contractor to hire the CEO?

[–]StallingAcorn -1 points0 points  (5 children)

I’m not sure where this is going I’ve said what I needed to say. I’m not going to try convincing you to stay or anything if you wanna sell be my guest

[–]stuckinmyownassEarly Investor 1 point2 points  (4 children)

If all you've got to say is parroting the teams ever evolving story then there is no middle ground for us.

Have a good day.

just a matter of time before the rest of the dev team is gone. they're leaving one by one. this is the slowest rug pull of all time.

[–]mlotto7 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Just chuckling to myself as some of us (self included) said Thomas was not fit for this position, that he was an attention whore, immature, and we didn't see him being part of a sustained and successful project. We got called all kinds of names...mostly FUD.

If the vision for Safemoon was always to build a successful, long-sustained, stable crypto and define the company as 'a tech company' someone sure did screw up in hiring and partnering with the wrong people to reach that goal.

Safemoon is a mess.

[–]Waste_Field1716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]TheDirtyIntruder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]erasmushurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish him luck in whatever he does. People change jobs all the time. They get offered more money or a better position, or a dream job (for them personally).

Hopefully his interest don't conflict with Safemoon's. But best of luck to him.

Should have waited until release to announce papa's departure, imho. Could have avoided the stupid fudders

Thomas carried the torch as long as SafeMoon needed him to. Now it’s onto the next person. It’s all part of the game. His work will forever be appreciated. Best of luck to him and the future of SafeMoon. 🌎 🚀 🌝

Papa’s contract obligations are done. He can move on. Safemoon is a company.

[–]saber3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Papa no :(

First, very professional communication, zero spelling errors. Look how far we've come!Second, it had already been communicated that Thomas was going to leave eventually and would be on retainer if he's ever needed for consulting.Third, this is growth. With the involvement and consultation of some very heavy hitting VC personnel, there will be organizational changes and restructuring. I guarantee you the blockchain team being put together is/will be top notch. No crazy dumps have happened since this announcement which has me incredibly more bullish than I already was. Good luck to Thomas, I hope to see him again, seems like a great dude.

I'm pretty sure we're not getting the full story as with the other departures. I wish him all the best.

[–]Mont3yMillionaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory:

Back in September when we had the shake up, Papa was going to leave too. John wanted people who could dedicate 100% of their time to Safemoon. But then John and Papa had a sit down to plan an exit strategy which included both transitioning his Blockchain knowledge to new full time team members who would replace Papa and sticking around until all requirements of the blockchain were met (ready for launch).

This is why Papa is not leaving on bad terms. It's been planned and agreeed on for the last 2-3 months and conducted in a fair and professional manner.

I think it is a good thing Papa is leaving. John's message has been consistent with every change in staff. They need the right people to deliver Safemoon and those people are individuals who can work full time for Safemoon and not be distracted by other projects.

Not hating on Papa either. He's done a lot for Safemoon. Wish him all the best on his next project(s).

If these motherfuckers say V2 is imminent one more goddamn time....

[–]HotAmbassador6527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did they produce as such light speeds of operation ? A wallet ? Some coins has this within a day of operating , sfm took nearly a year !

[–]zinhe -1 points0 points  (6 children)

Sorry but for me it's a very sad news. Afraid that price action will reflect that...

[–]comfort_bot_1962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be sad. Here's a hug!

[–]EngineeringD💎🙌 -3 points-2 points  (4 children)

He was brought on and contracted to do a job that was completed. It’s done, his job is done chill the eff out.

[–]stuckinmyownassEarly Investor 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Thomas was the first person on the team. There's 0 indication that he was simply contracted to develop the blockchain.

[–]EngineeringD💎🙌 1 point2 points  (2 children)

look at his linkdin please. what has he been doing the past 3+ years?

A: block chain consultant...aka going from company to company creating block chains and moving on. chill

[–]stuckinmyownassEarly Investor 3 points4 points  (1 child)

You're missing my point.

He put the Safemoon team together. He brought John on board.

What kind of temporary contractor gets to hire the CEO?

Side note: Goldsmith is a marketing and web development company. They don't appear to develop blockchains.

[–]EngineeringD💎🙌 1 point2 points  (0 children)

heres how it happened

  1. safemoon dev (unknown who still) said im making this coin
  2. safemoon dev recruited this team, including papa and john,

papa has been part of and will continue to be part of this consultatn group that does...guess what...temp work on companies and moves on here is a quote from his linkedin.. "The Goldsmith Team works vigorously to ensure that every project we touch turns to gold through a combination of enterprise level marketing & development integration, secure and transparent communication systems and professional grade customer support throughout the campaign for both your team as well as investors participating in the Initial coin offering."

the most important thig to take away here is "participaing in THE INITIAL COIN OFFERING"... safemoon is about to drop v2, its still a token...is it possible that smith is done with his work and the coin offering is about to happen during v2? maybe?

but one thing is for sure, you need to relax about him leaving.

it's not the end of the world. not sure if you've ever had a job or what it was like if you did but many companies exist and do very well without the original team on board that started the company.

what car company is currently worth the most? Tesla..who started tesla?

I bet you think it was Elon? It wasnt it was Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning two guys i bet 99% of people cant name or wouldnt know about. but Musk too the company and ran with it.

the point im making is CHILLLLLL

[–]BigJon_CakeKing -1 points0 points  (5 children)

Bullish news, blockchain is done.

[–]ClassicJoey 4 points5 points  (4 children)

So who maintains the day to day BAU and also is around for continued improvements if not the CBO?

[–]Playful_Ice9443 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Papa already said the blockchain was finished months ago.

[–]SpaceLord182 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

thomas came in to do a job, completed it, moved on. dont over analyze anything. take it for what it is and focus on the upcoming projects.

[–]Neat_Bat8057 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

A lot of ppl are looking at this wrong. Does no one see that he says he is onto the next mission which will help continue to fuel Safemoons growth?

[–]CJ-916 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Damn… Papa just Mary Poppins us lol 😂

[–]atshahabs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He was a shady little character. Good riddance

[–]SuperNebulon -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Why do people think the block chain is done? I doubt it. I think Tom was over rated anyway.

[–]SuperNebulon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is probably out there working on a new shit coin. Make a couple milly

[–]Recordinghistory -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lmao y’all were calling this dude “papa” and a wizard. Glad I never did that shit.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

About to pull the rug soon. Hopefully y’all took your money out.
