Hi all, I have not been posting and following as much as I wish, but a Nember I still am.
At the end of the day, if you invest in crypto/blockchain it is known as a high risk investment. There are a lot of concerns and points raised which makes sense. As one may only respond with the information you have or have obtained.
When money and hopes are invested, it is natural to response with concerns and rightfully so. We always need to give criticism and in so build each-other and push each-other past our limits and past our confidence levels and hold each-other accountable.
Bare in mind when you attack a person’s character or make bold statements without proper sustain, that, from a physiological point of view, breaks down your point and weakness you case, so doing it is just seen as you venting and will at the end of the day not be taken as serious as it was intended to be.
Out of respect you always thank the person for their service, that is one aspect that instills an environment where new talent would want to be in. There are proper ways to voice grievances and should be done as such.
@Inside_NEM thank you for what you have sacrificed and given to this cause and to us the Nembers. No one is perfect and there will always be places where one falls shorts, but in this case from my point of view you have met more of the challenges than expected. I know sometimes one cannot always disclose everything and understand that there might be a more acceptable reason why you need to take you’re leave be it form a human point of view, from a personal point of view, from a restructuring point of view or from a legal point of view. Al the best with the next planned adventure !
@theRest of the Nem council, core, ventures etc.
Thank you for being open with the discussion and decision, where possible.
I still have trust in the project and the way forward:
Why, because there are still a solid bunch op people around, that have been Nembers for awhile and have also shown their fruits. Trust is build in the time you spend, what you say, how you say it and the intent in your actions, so far their is still a lot of “good stuff” around.
I am a bit concerns with putting together a new governance so late in the game. Restructuring is never easy and takes time. New communication lines need to be put int place, new RACI, people need to get use to what they are responsible for and what they are allowed to do etc. Leadership will be required and need to be strong to resolve these obstacles.
I believe you have all taken the concerns into account and the best possible outcome was to create a new governance structure. Please make sure the governance foundation is solid this time around. Every time an organisation needs to restructure it takes time from penetrating the market and releasing quality products.
Nem cannot afford to do this every couple of years. Only shallow governance restructuring sjould be taken place, trust will start to waiver if this keeps happening.
We need our resources focused and the energy spent should be to penetrate the market.
We have tech, we have people, we have a base, we have exposure, we need market and as it seem we need a solid governance (So then lets get that in place).
So far you still have my support and excitement. I still believe with all the other bullsh*t hype out there about other blockchains that NEM is still in the forefront. NEM unfortunately is still seen as an “Outsider/Underdog” because NEM does not fall in with the populate kids that talk a lot and spend a lot.
Instead NEM believe in having tangible outputs before running its mouth, which still shows character.
Positives of being the “Underdog”, they won’t see you coming and the reward outweighs the risk. Now please, lets blow SYMBOL out of the water with something to be proud about!
