>Richard stopping streaming is actually the core issue. Richard had an incredible way of hypnotizing his audience. During his streams, his audience felt safe, re-encouraged and as if everything was going according to plan and that they would all soon become ridiculously wealthy if they just followed his advice.
>The best take on HEX is actually that it was a SimpDAO for Richard. Buying HEX was a very expensive, potentially life-destroying subscription to watch Richard Heart talk about his insights about life, HEX and crypto that his subjects willingly accepted because it gave them hope (and in some cases even a renewed passion for life, embraced in the comradery of the community of outcasts)
>In the vacuum of Richard the HEX community has had to fend for themselves, and the SimpDAO ultimately serves little purpose
>There is now significant infighting and degenerate gambling as the hopelessness tightens around HEX, which sadly was the one thing Richard actually usefully taught his community to avoid (even if it was motivated by a desire to get them to diamond-hand-hold his SimpDAO token rather than from fatherly love, as Richard readily shilled BitMEX reflinks in the past when it was to his benefit)
