Case Study: Eclipse and Elitism Before I begin, this is not a 'hate piece' towards Alucard or any of the Eclipse team, just my take on why there’s been so much negative sentiment around them lately. While I commend the drive he has for Eclipse's success and his desire to build a strong community, a lot of his actions completely undercut those intentions. Summary There’s a mix of reasons behind the backlash, but here’s how I’d boil it down: → Encouraging users to sell other ecosystems and to buy Eclipse assets → "Never wrong" mindset that pushed people away → Ego-driven messaging → Misalignment in airdrop rewards The actions of one individual has completely tarnished the public's opinion on Eclipse. Handling Criticism When met with critique, his responses have only made things worse - especially for ASC holders who felt betrayed after the airdrop. → Told people to sell other assets and buy ASC → Pushed users to delist and hold ASC → Delivered a weak airdrop → Claimed he delivered a '10x to participants' - but what about the people who bought on secondary? Or at 0.5 ETH+? Blocking Users I've always personally believed blocking people is -EV. If you don't want to engage or hear from them, just mute? Leading up to TGE, it was almost like I saw an Alucard blocked image at least once per day, and a lot of them were from ASC holders or heavy Eclipse defi participants - is this how you treat your community? Such big statements regarding building a strong community - yet, many of the community have felt disrespected and dismissed. Ethos Search up his X username and it's filled with negative comments. His Ethos profile has been slashed with 76% voting against Alucard, only 24% defending. With a 666 Ethos Score, it's a terrible look for an ecosystem community lead. ---- Once again, this isn't to tear down Alucard or Eclipse. It's a reminder that empowerment > elitism. If you want Web3 to win, we must uplift each other - not belittle, block, or flex.

Left: rewarded only the d suckers and friends Right: rewarded the whole yapper community In Aluc’s words: It’s obvious what projects will be successful and the ones who’ll be ded on arrival

The PENGU airdrop from Infinex is now close to a 3x since it landed in my wallet @infinex on top.
