At this point, if you are in the Chainlink community, you should either be in it for the long term or exit. If you're in for the long term, then our top mission should be to do what we can to help spur adoption & growth. If you-re not, there are a million other options out there.

Long term holders should realize it will be a multi-year journey. It likely involves more token movements considering the uncirculating supply left. It will likely take time to reduce subsidies, become profitable, & fully realize a staking system dependent on more Web3 adoption.

If those realities are not for you, then that's fine. Nobody should shame or mock people that want to put their time and money in other endeavors and projects. There a wide variety of valid reasons for wanting to do so and I seriously wish them success.

However, for the sake of long term people, we need to try to get rid of the negative energy from people that want to stay in but are unable to accept the long term nature. It hurts adoption, limits network effects, and reduces the chances of new people come into the community.

There are criticisms to be had but they are obvious now. Chainlink is surely aware of them and want to fix them but constant complaining won't solve complex problems faster. Chainlink's communication is improving but as Sergey said there "we won't always get the answers we want."

Ultimately, I'm just echoing what I have seen alot of OG & new marines say. We're not in 2017 anymore, the FUD state has ended. The path to success is now getting people excited to learn about Chainlink, join BUILD, develop with CL, etc. Bring the good vibes and memes back.

I truly am excited about the future of Chainlink as potentially the most widely used and sustainably profitable Web3 protocol. I hope to evangalize Chainlink with many of you moving forward and wish the best for people ready to move on. Let's all make it in our own way.
