First and foremost, I've been with Energi for a long time and I am big supporter! I love the tech and the message that comes with the community as whole. I will admit, I am quite apprehensive voicing my concerns on Discord as the narrative there is quite a tension riddled one. This is an open message for anyone at Energi to acknowledge the quiet majority that exists. I have been involved in many "side private conversations" after something on Discord has happened. A few days ago someone abbreviated the word "bullshit" into "bs". That comment was deleted. The user expressed themselves how they were explaining they commented bullshit in regards to a frustrated situation they were involved in. This is an expression of self ... this is not FUD or disrespectful in any means. There are many examples that happen weekly but that is just one example of policing emotional expression that in no way hurts anyone. Time and time again, the manners of NRG users on Discord are constantly policed by the moderators. Would it be reasonable to say that maybe some of the moderators thoroughly enjoy policing manners, in what they deem as disrespectful? How does one classify rudeness?

I've seen the answer that "this is a family oriented Discord community and we need to respect all". Where do we draw the line of what's acceptable or not? Is up to the individual moderator? Is it based solely based on the rules provided in Discord? If so, as a big supporter of Energi, I will not post comments and replies from TWP because that would be quite a turn off for anyone new in the space, or interested in NRG, to read the hypocrisy of the rules and who they apply too. There is a very strong silent group who feels very similar to these statements but there is a fear of speaking up and then Brock rolls in and lays the heavy hand.

A few posts before me, the former "oil and gas" employee who put all of his life savings in crypto and then Bashful stole them ... maybe this is true, maybe it is not ... it's still written like an infomercial with zero human connection or authenticity. After 2-3 months of learning about crypto he put his entire life savings in? C'mon ... my brother in law works for oil up North and I am sorry but the truckers mouth on him is unreal. And he would never, ever dump his savings into something so volatile as crypto. I understand the need to post something like that in regards to some of the previous accusations but that story really came across trying to sell something. Where is our rawness? Were is the true emotion of humans in this beautiful Energi space? I feel like this is an attempted Orwellian world NRG and the team are trying to create. I applaud the golden rule, I applaud values, morals and ethics ... I just feel our project is greatly lacking authentic real and raw emotion. The comments on Twitter, Reddit etc are all infomercials. Maybe it's a language barrier thing I'm not really sure but if our tech is truly that revolutionary and Energi X coming to even bigger news for the entire crypto space ... where is our swagger? Where is the sexiness of this project?

The last few days there has been such a big buzz of alts and the money pouring into them. IOTA, Ren, ADA, Tezos, Zil etc etc are everywhere! I'm not a marketing guy so i won't begin to speak on that. I am a consumer however and never, never seeing our project on peoples lists in social media is incredibly disheartening. When you're in love, you want to scream it to the world ... why is nobody screaming? Metaphor people ... why are regular people not mentioning us? I don't have the answers but hopefully somebody is asking these questions in your meetings. And it's not an exchanges issue ... Divi is everywhere and they have limited exchanges ... Best tech does not win IE Beta vs VHS ...

I wish TWP would take the reigns here and be more boisterous. Remember the AMA Tommy? Please don't disregard how that AMA gave people like me, a massive confidence boost forward. Speak more! About NRG! Hey you'll piss some people off here and there but guess what? Passion wins baby and TWP is passionate!! If not him, somebody else possibly? Ryan seems like an awesome President, extremely knowledgeable and a good human altogether. We all have strengths, we all have weaknesses, I don't think interviews with Ryan are the best for a "buzz" around the space. Ever see an interview with Charles? He's arrogant, he has swagger, he swears (so does TWP) and that multi millionaire makes a big effort to stay in touch and be relatable. I just don't understand how nobody see's we need that. If TWP took more of a voice, watch what happens ... or someone!

Word has gotten around way to much that we paid for all our advertisements. I really truly hope the NRG team is receiving feedback on this. Nothing changes in my world. Just a morning of frustration while surfing the web and seeing so many other bullshit projects receive awareness and buzz and here we are, super amazing project and nobody is talking about us unless we pay them. I can tell you this, I don't shut up about our treasury to all my friends and family and the returns possible and Energi Impact etc etc. The infomercial style posting social media thing going on is really tough to observe. Do we have any plans for any conventions? Maybe since I live in North America I'm not noticing more of a push across the ocean perhaps? If global adoption is our longest term goal ... what are we doing now to stay in peoples minds that we have an excellent project to share to the world?

In no way shape or form do any of my words mean ill will, I will continue to support as long as I can. Just a tougher morning surfing the web is all ... not seeing my hot ass crypto project nowhere to be seen and afraid to say anything on Discord.
