12) One has had a rival company investigate their contacts, trying to dig up dirt that they can weaponize opportunistically, threatening lawsuits. Multiple have been accused of being Nomi with no evidence.

13) One conspiracy theory tied together me, Vitalik, CZ, Circle, ETH Denver, and a whole lot of other things I couldn't follow.

14) Many have been threatened legally by people who have never touched sushi (for what, exactly?) I’ve been given the weirdest and most unprofessional insult I’ve ever seen by an employee of an “impartial” aggregator.

15) Insults have been thrown at the protocol and program that make no sense.
@coindesk
wrote a piece riddled with factual errors so thoroughly it had no substance left. It’s central point was wrong -- you totally can reduce emissions and implement vesting on sushiswap.

16) We’re here, in this space, to build together. Some people seem weirdly interested in trying to take down those who are still building.

17) I understand that some are upset by forks. But if you build something open source, that’s fair game. And you can’t fork the future. If you’re that scared of forks, what does that say about your future?

18) I was called on during Sushi’s darkest hour, and since then I’ve done what I can to try to get it on its feet. And I’m not alone. A bunch of people have put in hundreds of hours to bring sushiswap through its most turbulent period. I’m grateful for what they’ve done.

19) But I have other things to do in my life -- many of us do. And so I’ve been tempted to withdraw from Sushiswap at times--for being asked to help fix it, and then shit on when I do.

20) But in the end I haven’t left. Because sometimes, when you see bullies, you don’t back down. I’m not running, or leading, Sushiswap. No one is but the community. But I’m proud to be a part of it, and to help it build.

23) Second, I can't control the price. That depends on whether you all buy or sell. So if the community sells their sushi--that's it's choice. And if the community buys, so be it.

24) The third is if you have no interest in sushiswap, that’s fine; to each their own. Feel free to go on to my next oversized tweet thread.

25) The fourth: to those who have no stake in Sushiswap but are using it as a way to slander their competitors, kindly go fuck off and let them keep building.

26) The fifth, to those a bit too obsessed with tearing it and those improving it down: boy, you must be scared of something.

27) And the sixth, to the actual sushi community: I can’t make you any promises, because Sushi isn’t mine, it’s yours. All I can say is that I’m doing the best I can.

28) It’s you who will determine where sushiswap ends up. And it’s you who will determine whether SUSHI goes up or down; I can’t make people buy or sell. We’re just people tasked with making sure your will is implemented.

29) But for all the fighting and shit we’re getting--at least for now, Sushiswap is doing just fine. You can stake your SUSHI at the sushibar for yield. And that’s not hyperinflation--that’s revenue, returned to the token holders.

30) I wouldn’t blame any of the people in the community, or the multisig holders, if they wanted to step away.

31) But for now, I’m going to stay. Because sometimes, when you see a h8ter, you don’t back down. You keep building. And, if you stick around, maybe you’ll find out exactly what they were so scared of.

32) Anyway that’s all for now--back to building; lots of listings tonight! And if you want to build: join us. Lots of exciting stuff coming out soon: Across Sushi, and Serum, and Solana; And across the rest of DeFi, built by many great minds.
