Hey everyone,
I’ve noticed a lot of bashing towards Zcash Media, QEDIT, and other creators, developers, and researchers who are putting in tremendous effort for the Zcash project. This trend is really disheartening. Effort is the core of building and achieving success. Without it, progress stalls.
Bashing and personal attacks are the antimatter of effort—they destroy rather than build. We shouldn’t discourage effort; instead, we should steer and align it. If you disagree with the strategy, mission, or goals of these projects, there are constructive and positive ways to express your concerns.
Think of effort as the fuel that drives our collective engine. Without it, we go nowhere. When we bash those who are expending effort, not only do we harm the individuals involved, but we also risk making others in the community second guess whether this is the environment they want to invest their invaluable effort in.
Imagine we’re all part of a construction team building a bridge. Instead of criticizing how someone is laying bricks, let’s guide them to make sure the bridge is strong and aligned. Personal attacks aren’t constructive; they hurt the recipients and damage the image of Zcash and its community. When people scroll through X.com, do we want one of the few Zcash posts they see to be unconstructive bashing of projects and their builders?
Effort is what moves us forward. If you have suggestions or concerns, share them constructively so we can harness and direct the energy toward our common goals. Let’s build together rather than tear down.
Please, voice your objections in the ZCG elections if you disagree with my support for 37L and QEDIT. Feel free to vote me out in the next election. But let’s stop the bashing. It’s giving us all a bad name and doesn’t help anyone.
Thanks for reading, and let’s keep the discussions positive and constructive.
Your fellow Zcash supporter
