The tale of two token sales, from people at the frontier

The first "bitnation" token sale was in 2014, and when I discovered it, I found it to be highly inspiring, the vision was just right, it had packaged itself very nicely, and I told more or less all people I knew about it. That crowd sale then failed, and exactly why it failed is, possibly, an untold story. Dana Edwards connected me with Susanne just around the time the original token sale was collapsing, and Susanne and I connected creatively, based on mutual respect in many ways, so I may have a unique perspective on that.

Self-interest, genetic bias, and bias overall, lies and deceit and manipulation

Susanne told me that the reason the original "bitnation team" broke up in 2014, around the exact time I connected with her via Dana Edwards, was because Charles Hoskinson threatened that team that they would get arrested in a "crack down", and, that he did so because of personal bias. I know some people who follow me know Charles, and if that story is true, it is very immoral of him. The back story Susanne told me is that he and her had a personal sexual relationship, and that Charles cheated on the person he was together with at that time, that is possibly his partner at this time as well. That could be a lie as well, but I don't think so. It is wrong to single out people to protect yourself, and to make public statements that are false, like David Mondrus, Nathan Wosnack, Matt McKibbin, and Charles Hoskinson did (if that back story was true), and that was one reason I chose to defend Susanne even after last year.

I just don't like pecking orders. I do not appreciate being bit by Susanne, or "defamed" with lies because she is slightly psychopathic and prone to protect herself sort of, but I appreciate even less when people single others out without the other actually having been that horrible. People are fragile, if they get too much violence, they break, and Susanne is also a person.

Note, here is Charles with his narrative, in reply to me. If what Susanne told me is true, then he is very immoral here.

The period after the first token sale, 2014-2015

When the first token sale failed, Susanne went on to instead collaborate with the Horizon team, one of the most advanced blockchains at that time (before Ethereum), and built a proof-of-concept for a UI for "Pangea", mostly funded by that people worked on a voluntary basis, and that UI was pretty good and somewhat advanced in how it presented a few concepts.
