Just now I sold all of my $ANON and put it all into $PIN. Here’s why: Something isn’t right with ANON. It’s not just the price action which hasn’t been good. There are some red flags that started to buzz too loudly in my ear. And I couldn’t ignore them any longer. For one, the founder @danielesesta is a very nice guy. I’ve had multiple interactions with him. And I think he’s a good guy. But there is a stigma around him in the crypto community about his involvement in past projects from the 2021 bull that I guess rekt some people. I see a lot of people claiming he’s shady and not to be trusted. Now, I’ll repeat I don’t THINK that is true. I think he’s a good guy who means well. And I see how active he is in promoting his projects which usually gives me faith. But that stigma about him seems to be following him around stubbornly and I’m worried that it might hold ANON back from a face melting rally. Second, I have watched Daniele take ANON in the direction of pump fun by launching a whole bunch of meme tokens. I don’t really understand where he’s trying to go with that, but I’m not a fan of the direction. @HeyAnonai is supposed to be something that simplifies DeFi for the lay person. Meme coins are not DeFi. They should have no place in this project. JMHO. Third, on the DeFi front, I have tried to use the hey anon service and felt it was a little too difficult and clunky. I also downloaded and activated the HUD chrome extension, and still haven’t been able to make it work on my PC. So that has left me somewhat unimpressed and feeling like the products and services that ANON is putting out aren’t very user-friendly. Another reason I feel like ANON isn’t a high conviction hold for me anymore is that there are DeFai projects like Sturdy and VoidAi on Bittensor. And while they don’t do exactly what ANON does, I get exposure to DeFi and DeFai by holding $TAO and some individual subnet tokens I hold. Lastly, I’m seeing some bad vibes on CT about $ANON. I know that price action is a big reason for this, but when I put the bad vibes together with everything else above, I just have to be honest with myself and admit that I have lost conviction in the project and my money would work better for me elsewhere. I have a ton of conviction in @PinLinkAi $PIN and have even bought some of their RWA offerings. It’s easy to use. The team is constantly shipping l, focused, and knows how to engage with the crypto community. Also it doesn’t hurt that $PIN is now working with select subnets in Bittensor $TAO to tokenize and fractionalize receivables. More to come on that. Daniele if you read this, I want you to know there is no hard feelings. I don’t believe what many say about you, brother. I just can’t take the chance at this critical juncture if the bull run with what’s left of my $ from this position. And I was HEAVY in ANON. I just wasn’t feeling comfortable. I do wish you and @HeyAnonai the best and I’m rooting for you. And I won’t rule out jumping back in if I see something compelling me to do so. GL out there everyone!
