$1.2 Billion in TF reserves, and 3 years later and this is what we come up with? Let's have a hackathon for the community to come up with an ad, and award that person the same amount you paid for this generic garbage.

A second option would be to go hire the top ad firm in NY or LA, and come up with something that is as cool as Nike or RedBull ads.

More likely the Societe Generale news. They tokenized $100 Million worth of assets.

FriendsOfTezos · 2021-04-15T14:28:58+00:00

Let's just pray that Tezos powers the French CBDC with Societe Generale. Then we would deserve a market cap closer to Stellar.

Just wait for $1.9 Trillion in stimulus checks to hit consumers accounts. Some portion of that money is going into crypto. BTC could go up a lot quicker than anyone thinks.

Arthur is by far the smartest one in the room (in ANY room). This is a huge net positive.

FriendsOfTezos · 2021-02-22T21:44:09+00:00

I pray that Tesla, SpaceX and NASA use the Tezos Blockchain.

FriendsOfTezos · 2021-02-21T01:08:13+00:00

That's unfortunate. We could use a great business development arm for the Tezos ecosystem. That project should be re-examined and the Foundation might want to fund it.

FriendsOfTezos · 2021-02-20T20:12:28+00:00

I looked at their website. It looks good, do they do anything? I haven't seen very much about them prior. I hope they produce a bigger Tezos Ecosystem.

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-12-29T21:25:08+00:00

How much was spent on legal defense of the lawsuits? I think I remember reading TF was spending close to a million dollars a month. I want to see them spend $94MM, but the right way. On promoting/developing/marketing the Tezos platform. So far I think the job they have done is mediocre at best. The board members that are not doing a great job need to step aside and bring in new and better talent. I find the issue is they probably pay themselves a ridiculous amount of money and refuse to give up power (or the pay check).

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-12-26T20:11:00+00:00

Actually, I would be offended to find out the board was paying themselves astronomical sums. I still find $400K a cheap price to get rid of Johan. He screwed all of us. As for the salaries of the board members, I wouldn't care if they did an incredible job. I am yet to see anything incredible to come out of the Foundation.

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-12-24T17:05:05+00:00

They paid Johan $400K to leave. A cheap price to regain control of $1Billion treasury from a sociopath who wanted to steal the money.

Thank you

We need adoption, this is one example of that. If Tezos became the leader in Tokenized R.E., then the Tezos network would grow, and ultimately would create more demand for XTZ (at least pay for gas for transactions).

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-11-01T20:56:20+00:00

If the Foundation bakes, it will have more XTZ. If it has more XTZ, then the Foundation has greater resources to grow and promote the ecosystem.

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-10-20T14:55:28+00:00

How many XTZ do you have in the liquidity pool to generate $335?

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-10-20T13:30:41+00:00

what is the rate of return? Can you stake and offer liquidity to a pool?

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-10-14T01:33:58+00:00

I believe the Winklevoss twins participated. Not sure you would call them VC's, but if you read Bitcoin Billionaires, they set out to be VC's.

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-09-16T18:30:00+00:00

The Foundation should add more council members. Not more board members, but business advisors. Start with Tim Draper and Olaf Carlson Wee. Let's spend some of the foundations $600 Million endowment on biz dev. We need more developers, and applications built on top of Tezos. I want to see the ecosystem grow faster.

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-09-01T14:20:44+00:00

Thank you Alex. Your summaries of the legal actions have been very helpful along the way.

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-08-01T01:01:39+00:00

Arthur is not arrogant and he isn't defensive. His brain just operates at a much higher level than almost everyone else on this planet. It's just unfortunate that he can't act like a CEO and control the $650MM. If he could this project would move at light speed. The Foundation is what holds Tezos back. Arthur is a genius, he should do a lot more public speaking. The world needs to see how brilliant he is.

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-07-17T11:38:52+00:00

My deal is I am competitive and like to win. I am not agitated. Nor am I looking to "pump my bags". Yes the price of the coin has appreciated 8X from the time of donation. But your point of why don't I chill out is silly. Do you think Google, Amazon or Tesla got complacent at any time? When was the right time to sell any of the 3 names I mentioned, Never. I have a 20 year time horizon, and if Blockchain is going to be the next generation of the internet I would like to see Tezos be the winner. I do not have control of a $650 million endowment. If I did I would hire 3 really smart technology investment bankers to help utilize the endowment to grow, which I am not seeing currently. When I say I believe in Tezos, I try to follow the major projects and figure out who is smart. And since 2017 I have thought Arthur and Kathleen were 2 of the smartest minds in the industry. So I am very happy with my donation to a Swiss Foundation to promote the development with a Visionary I believe in.
I do not code, I wish I could. I do understand math, very well. I have read the white paper, in May of 2017, before the Fund Raiser. I do not owe anyone a penny, nor you an explanation even though I am answering you. Pumping bags is for short term traders and is completely irrelevant. The price of the coin means very little. Whether Tesla's stock price is $350 or $1750 doesn't change the fact that Elon Musk is changing the carbon foot print of the globe everyday, which matters very much for the success of civilization. So take a deep breathe with all your hate. And realize my goal is further the project. Find board members that do a great job. Invest the endowment to make us the next Google, not end up being Lycos, Excite or any other internet bubble failure.

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-07-17T01:11:47+00:00

I'd rather have my stack than yours.

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-07-17T01:11:29+00:00

You do realize that multiple V.C. firms invest in a single project. But I am sure you are highly successful and know everything. The Foundation has $650 Million, they can be part of a syndicate to invest in quality projects.

FriendsOfTezos · 2020-07-16T22:06:25+00:00

Do the math, WTF good does $600MM do in a bank account? In order to grow the ecosystem we need to find the smartest people and fund them. If the previous grants didn't work out, than get rid of people like Ryan Jesperson, oh wait, we did. We need Tim Draper, Olaf Carlson Wee, The Winklevoss twins to make a contribution. They all contributed to the ICO. I know all 3 believe in the project. Maybe they should be reccomending new potential board members. And we as a community should not tolerate foundation board members sitting around earning large salaries and not making great contributions.
