Looks like a little bit more than just a prediction market prank on kong after all, more like bullying and insulting (scammy founder) a builder into closing. down his own project, a promising one imo.
More like using your vast voting power, also calling on others to follow you on top, to block a builder from access to their own DAO’s funds which they needed for BTC collateral (to actually scale, which was one of your accusations, 3 users, ironically).
Combined with the DDOS (or similar) attack that others mentioned here…

I think ur accusations of churns/pivots don’t apply, it’s normal in early stage blockchain.
I think the concept is strong. The combination of Bitcoin prediction markets with AI agents on ICP with multi-chain reach for data had great potential, like the prediction market itself had big data potential, a loss for the IC. Or rather has, since the dApp is still live under seers.app.
Yes it needs time to scale, but in parts for the yield-giving prediction market to become known in the BTC community in the first place, in parts because ICP is not as broadly adopted as it should be yet, and maybe for further scaling a mobile app is needed.
I think it’s time for @Leadership to call back Adam/borovan a bit and to maybe reach out to @marcio to reinstate his project. The project is great for ICP imo, and attacks and bullying like this can make a whole ecosystem implode (I was on borovan’s side when he told me he only did a prediction market for lolz to troll Marcio, but this, above, is outright bullying. I would have stepped away if the 800 pound Gorilla with all the voting power did that towards my project).
Overall, a promising project was killed for the ego of a whale. @Leadership should step in.
