Captain, Captain, Captain… (pronounced Cape-tain, don’t let him tell you any different.)
Captain has been a long-term ape supporter and has managed to accumulate quite the holdings over time. One would likely classify him as one of the sea loving aquatic mammals known as a whale. While there are certainly a handful of well-known whales in the Ape ecosystem, I do not believe many of them would be well qualified for this role. But Captain is different.
Many whales are known to splash around and dump their holdings on a whim, causing cascading negative effects for an ecosystem. That’s all fine and good. It’s their holdings and they are certainly entitled to do what they want. Still, these actions can deeply harm smaller holders who feel the impacts of the waves from their much smaller positions.
Captain is different. Across every project where I know he has major holdings, he thinks about how his actions will impact others in that ecosystem first. This applies to both how he trades, but also about how he communicates and shares his thoughts about that project. If a project stumbles in a major way does he dump his bags and FUD their error? No. He works with that team to try to figure out what happened and then figures out how he can help them. I know for sure in some circumstances this behavior pattern has caused him great losses. His first priority was on the team in question and the others involved in that ecosystem. Not many people would do this.
I want people in this position who I believe will look out for all of the Ape holders while trying to help guide the ecosystem into a healthy direction. I know Captain will do his best to make this happen. I also believe he’s trying to do this for reasons that I would label as “right.” He’s not chasing the title or attention, he’s not chasing the pay for the role, he is hoping to make a positive impact while helping others along the way.
We need more people like this in both the DAO as well as the greater crypto ecosystem, so I’m happy to support Captain (remember, pronounced Cape-tain) in his campaign.
