Some of my posts upset part of the internet-computer:native community, but you know, if you had been following me for the past few years, you would know that my story and my opinion about certain people in this ecosystem have not really changed. The only difference is that some of the things I said before have now proven to be true, and more people than before are starting to see things they unfortunately didn’t see earlier. My opinion of ICP has not really changed since I first started following its development. I still believe ICP is a phenomenal project and deserves far more attention. I don’t want to be some kind of influencer, nor do I want to monetize my social media content, so what I post is simply my opinion... and I have every right to express it. Whenever I’ve made serious claims, I’ve always provided evidence, and I don’t think I’ve ever accused someone of something they didn’t actually do. I absolutely do not hate anyone in this or any other community, but whenever I have the time, I will always fight for the truth. I also have every right to express my opinion about Jerry, who has a long history of manipulative and dishonest behaviour, and I have solid evidence for that which I’ve posted more than once. Yet there is always someone who comes along and says, “this project sucks” or “I don’t like it,” and suddenly that gives Jerry full permission to shit all over that project and its developers... even when what he says is false. There is no point arguing with people like that, and they certainly don’t deserve to be treated kindly. I also want to address marketing in ICP. Yes, ICP needs marketing. But marketing is not a process where the community simply decides what should be promoted and how, because, with all due respect, very few people actually understand what marketing is or how complex it is. What many people seem to think marketing means is simply having a bunch of people shill ICP, with no audience targeting whatsoever, as long as as many videos as possible are pumped out and as many impressions as possible are generated. And impressions are pushed to the front because anyone with half a brain understands that actual views matter far more. But even video content itself is only one small part of marketing. Marketing is a much broader discipline. Some people, like Alex, actually produce video content that is worth watching, and I have to admit that I like his style even though we disagree on many things. Now let’s get to what I actually have a problem with. I will never — and I mean never — accept people like Jerry and Bobby as the faces of ICP. I’ve already said this a thousand times. Both of them are full of toxicity, arrogance and ego — exactly the kind of traits marketing does not tolerate well. One of them has spent years making videos about other projects supposedly going to zero, speaking against meme coins, and is now behaving in complete contradiction to what he spent all those years preaching. On top of that, he is unstable in his character and behaviour, and people like that have no place anywhere near serious marketing. Sure, at times he can be funny or entertaining, but that does not erase all the bad things he has done over the years. The other one constantly tries to drag people into debates where he presents himself as intellectually superior and everyone else as inferior. He keeps pushing his own narrative without really listening to what anyone else has to say, and then wonders why nobody wants to debate him. Relax, man. You’re not Crypto Jesus. I’m sure both of them have introduced some people to ICP. But it is also obvious that we are still a very small community, and their actual impact is nowhere near as significant as they seem to believe it is. At the same time, they also damage the ecosystem through their toxic behaviour. On the other hand, after listening to one of Jerry’s latest videos and reading some of the comments from others, I’m now hearing that DFINITY should apparently start following the same path as networks like Solana... the same Solana people used to accuse of bribery, dishonesty and deceptive marketing. Now suddenly Solana’s marketing is amazing. I believe ICP can succeed without playing those kinds of dirty games. And some people have made a very important observation. Jerry is sick and needs professional help, and everyone who keeps encouraging and reinforcing his behaviour and decisions he makes is probably doing him more harm than I am by criticizing him. This text is polished by ChatGPT... mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

There's no shortage of games that add a token, throw in a few NFTs, and call it Web3 gaming. But I think @CambrinNolan is asking a much more interesting question with Infinity Arcade: what can players and developers actually do differently because of the technology behind it? If blockchain doesn't offer anything beyond what a conventional gaming platform already provides, why use it in the first place? That's the kind of question I'd like to see more developers asking before building on $ICP.

What if @PrinterOTC turned printing into a racing game? 🏎️ Printer World takes things beyond coins and NFTs, with Speedway, mini-games, and an entire pixel-art world to explore. A launchpad is one thing. A launchpad with its own racing world is a bit more fun. 😄 printerotc.fun/launch

Sometimes it's not what you say about a product, but how you explain its value. @clownitx gives creators the freedom to find the angle that connects with their audience. $ICP

I can't make the game, but I figured a few DOMMY posters wouldn't hurt. 😂 @icprenegades, now we just need someone to actually build it. Preferably someone who's played enough horror games to know that running away is rarely a winning strategy. 🤣

Ghostbusters was one of my favourite movies growing up. I even had a bunch of Ghostbusters stickers that I used to stick absolutely everywhere. LOL Had to give it a little pixel art tribute with @icpixeleditor. 👻 $ICP I had so much fun with the IC Pixel last couple of days. Try it 👉 icpixel.org/

Two people can look at the exact same product and walk away with completely different impressions. One lists the features. The other frames why one of those features actually matters to a specific audience. The second one usually gets the attention. That’s the idea behind Frame the Signal. With @clownitx, projects can push their own message, or they can let independent creators decide how to present it. A developer knows what was built. A creator often knows a better way to make someone care about it. Same product. Different frame. Sometimes that’s all it takes for the signal to land. A practical example of InfoFi on $ICP.

Given all the recent tensions between $ICP and $NEAR, it was only a matter of time before someone launched related token on @soonlaunchpad. 😂 I can only imagine how concerned Illia must be right now. He's probably already called an emergency meeting to discuss the situation. 🫣 The timing couldn't be better.

Ruggy may not have made the cut as DFINITY's mascot, but @Empierrepump apparently had a much better job in mind. 😂 His new assignment? Helping the Emperor clean up the crypto world, one scam, one $ICP FUD campaign, and one ridiculous narrative at a time. The pay must be good, because Ruggy showed up in a suit and brought his own knife. I don't think HR was involved in this hiring process. 🤣 tprgv-hqaaa-aaaad-qmjea-cai.…

I have to admit, @anal_token is actually pretty fun. 😂🥊 Recorded a little gameplay for those who haven't tried it yet. Although... I could swear something was a bit more impressive yesterday. 🤔😂 $ICP

Sometimes all it takes is someone showing you a feature you didn't know existed. That's the kind of curiosity @clownitx can help create. $ICP

Looks like they're having quite a bit of fun over at @icprenegades. 😂 Between developing games, running charity initiatives, launching tokens and now celebrating graduations, these guys certainly know how to keep themselves busy. At this rate, I have a feeling I'll be waiting a little longer for that racing game. 🏍️🤣 $ICP

Ah, now I see where @CambrinNolan got the inspiration for Infinity Brawler. LOL 😂 Apparently, dealing with crypto nonsense on X wasn't enough. He needed a way to settle things in the arcade, too. 🤣 $ICP

This is pretty much all you need to know about parts of the crypto media industry. On their website, Altcoin Buzz describes itself as an independent outlet delivering crypto research, news and technical analysis to 600,000+ users. They claim to work from primary sources, avoid unverified claims and put education over hype. Then, when challenged about their reporting, their official X account responds: “It’s cute you think I want to educate or be a journalist tho.” So what exactly should people expect from crypto media when an outlet openly dismisses the very principles it advertises on its own website? Cheap engagement, primitive jokes and headlines designed to provoke reactions rather than help people understand what's actually happening. This was never about defending Dominic, $ICP or attacking NEAR. Anyone should be free to question them. It's about a media outlet presenting itself as a source of research and education, then treating those standards as irrelevant the moment someone challenges it. If “education over hype” only applies when it's convenient, it's not an editorial principle. It's a marketing slogan. The snake oil of crypto journalism. Cute...

Somewhere out there, an art critic is probably preparing a 3,000-word essay about this masterpiece. 😁 Created in 64×64 pixels with @icpixeleditor. I'm particularly interested in hearing from the fine art connoisseurs. Surely someone can identify it? icpixel.org/

Calling your product "revolutionary" probably won't make many people curious. But show them something clever it actually does, or let someone who has tried it explain why it's useful, and you might get their attention. @clownitx gives projects a way to encourage exactly that. Independent creators can approach the same product from completely different angles, often reaching people who would never bother reading its official announcements. It's a practical use of InfoFi on $ICP, and one that isn't restricted to crypto projects. Of course, curiosity alone won't make a product successful. But sometimes getting someone to take that first look is the hardest part.

Putting the little printer in the spotlight. 🖨️ There's more to @PrinterOTC than simply launching another coin on Solana. Create a coin, an NFT collection, or both. Choose your token pairings, decide how creator fees are shared, and give your project its own dedicated page. Quite a few possibilities coming out of one little pixel-art printer. 😄 printerotc.fun/launch

A printer that launches tokens is one thing. A printer with its own playable world? That's a bit more interesting. 🎮 @PrinterOTC has more going on than just NFTs and a Launcher. Printer World is free to explore in your browser. Race in Speedway, take on Printer Run, jump into the Arena, or simply hang out with other players. No wallet needed to get started. There's quite a bit to discover beyond the printing. 😄

If you spend your days spreading FUD about ICP, @anal_token has just released the perfect game for you. 😂 Now you can get your ass kicked on $ICP instead of embarrassing yourself on X. And judging by those controls, this might be the most ridiculous fighting game I've seen in a while. 😂🥊

I have no idea where @soonlaunchpad will end up, and I'm certainly not looking at it as an investment opportunity. But I have to give it some credit. It's been a surprisingly good source of inspiration for some of my illustrations, jokes and posts lately. 😂 Sometimes the entertainment value is more than enough. And I've definitely had some fun with it. $ICP
