It is about time DOM steps down from the helm!

Should DOM Step Down from the Lead of this project and just focus on being “Chief Scientist” and on development, where he is most comfortable, and instead put a real hardened business person in his spot to turn this ship around? Someone who is all about deal-making, sales, marketing, PR, and making ICP great again? Someone who has no problem “paying to play”, doing ‘treasury operations’, and doing literally whatever it takes to put us above chains like Solana with a fraction of the tech? Someone who will get us to #3 where we belong right underneath Ethereum and even above XRP? Someone who will go interview with every outlet on Earth to ensure ICP is recognized for its amazing technical achievements in blockchain and wins “Blockchain of the century” next year? And someone USA based with ties in Silicon Valley and Wall Street and who mostly stays in the USA and not off in a glass tower in Zurich?

  • Yes, please step down to ensure the future success of this project!
  • No, DOM is doing an incredible job and should remain!

The wine dark sea has tested us.

The road has been long and paved with salt.

The gods throw shadows in our path.

We have endured much, and we shall endure this final stretch.

Soon, the scent of the hearth will greet us and the soil of our own land will be beneath our feet.

Steel your resolve friend, we will make it home

We were 40% up the week but now straight back down

I’ve watched this happen for years now. We rally, back down again. So depressing

Hey Joel,

Just to put in perspective how inconsequential and unlikely to be seen this is.

Most of my burner accounts have more time reading the forums than Dom’s account.

5

well at least VOTE geez!

6

There is no way you’re a real person.

joel im not gonna lie, it was very tempting for me to troll this poll.

It’s time that everyone join me in asking DOM to STEP DOWN for all of our sakes and for the sake of this project!

I KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING IS TRUE.

DOM is the #1 REASON we are where we are.

He is NOT THE CORRECT LEADER for this project! He should remain as chief scientist and visionary but let someone else run the show who understands what needs to be done!

DOM, PLEASE STEP DOWN! Please THINK guys! THINK!

Any company doing this poorly FOR THIS LONG would have replaced their CEO YEARS AGO!

YEARS AGO!

WAITING ANY LONGER IS STUPID!

We are not going to get a different result from someone with a track record of poor performance!

Whale investors on the board including Adam would have OUSTED DOM YEARS AGO!

COME ON!

If Carl Icahn was here or Warren Buffet, they would have had a LONG CONVERSATION with him before demoting him to Chief Scientist.

Even the major VC’s would agree with me. They left because he wouldn’t listen to them!

Marc Andreessen and A16Z would 100% agree with me!

IT IS TIME FOR DOM TO GO before we HOSE this entire project! Please support me on this!

EXACTLY!

IT IS ONE THING TO KEEP PRETENDING that you will make things happen when it is just your own business with your own money invested but when you have OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY tied up in your dream and your vision counting on you, you have a greater responsibility TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE ENTIRE GROUP!

@dominicwilliams PLEASE LISTEN TO ME DOM. Find the right person to turn this ship around. HIRE THEM. Demote yourself to Chief Scientist and Head Dev. DO WHAT YOU LOVE and STOP PRETENDING THAT YOU are going to be able to magically change and do things you do not enjoy. I.E. Having to peddle the business side and esp. in a dirty crypto market full of liars and cheaters and scam artists.

REMOVE ALL THE STRESS FROM YOUR LIFE. You are aging prematurely from all this stress. You are damaging yourself.

ANNOUNCE THAT YOU ARE STEPPING DOWN and that you are bringing on someone extremely competent with ties to Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Bad Marine! Michel and Bad Marine have amazing strategic ideas for compatibility and getting major government grants and contracts for our chain and to further embed the infrastructure into government (state, local, federal, USA), etc.) Listen to them carefully!

Caffeine is a WINNER in the long run. I know it is. But it won’t be if you don’t do this! YOU WANT TO GET THIS CHAIN OUT THERE??? STEP DOWN!!!

YOU WANT TO SEE ICP IN THE TOP 5???

STEP DOWN!!!

YOU WANT TO SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT?

STEP DOWN!!!

YOU WANT TO AVOID BANKRUPTCY?

STEP DOWN!!!

As Nike says “JUST DO IT!” and as Bobby McFerrin says “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”!

IT IS HEALTHY TO LET GO of the the things you don’t want to do!

YOU WILL BE HAPPIEST JUST BEING CHIEF SCIENTIST AND VISIONARY! TRUST ME!

THE VERY MINUTE YOU LET GO is exactly when this all turns around!

LET GO! FOR EVERYONE’S SAKE and for your own family’s sake as well!

Free up your life! (You are approaching BURN OUT if you aren’t already!!! After 10 years, it’s OKAY! You’re HUMAN after all! PASS THE BATON MY BRITISH BROTHER!)

I got bad news for you joel.

STOP. DOM is an upstanding guy. He has always been and has good intentions. He has always taken the HIGH ROAD.

Problem is that it is not helping us get to where we need to go. Therefore he needs to hire someone who can not only hustle but isn’t afraid to play the game and to ensure this chain’s survival and ultimate victory!

That way DOM does not need to undermine his own principles.

16

Everyone please wake up. Please recommend DOM step down! Wake up! The sooner this happens the better! Let’s stop pretending now! End the charade. DOM is not going to take us where we need to go anytime soon before disaster strikes! THANK YOU FOR VOTING EVERYONE! I HOPE DOM LISTENS! THIS IS TRULY FOR HIS OWN GOOD AND FOR EVERYONE’S SAKE.

We must ALL WAKE UP! We must!!!

17

we are awake. You are the one still sleeping.

Thank you Dan for all your poetic insights! Please don’t denigrate my important thread here okay?

19

Yes you’ve made so many great non repetitive points here.

Serious question: do you keep spare key caps for your shift and caps lock key handy? Those things must take a beating.

Yes I do because I type on original IBM clicky MODEL M and F keyboards! THE REAL DEALS that I have refurbished myself! The BEST!

and for this thread, I have SPECIFICALLY UTILIZED THE MODEL FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFs!!!
