Personal Statement from @inspiredEggs

Many of you have asked me how do I feel being the "face" of the Coinfluence project? Especially with the hate amplified on social media?

I am a professional and making difficult decisions is what myself and other senior leaders at Coinfluence do. It would be naive for me to not expect the reaction we've received. This was a decision we toiled over and over with. Stayed awake at night thinking about it.

At the very end... when we were out of time, we made the tough choice. I'm here for the long-term success of this project. If I wasn't, I never would have been the "face" of the project. I would have kept a low profile so that when tough decisions needed to be made, I could hide. 

I'm not hiding from the rational conversation. Direct message requests are read. The offensive and irrational ones get blocked. I'm here for the long run and Coinfluence will have a very long run.

Do I really "hear" those who are angry at me personally. Absolutely. Do I hear those who want out? Of course. We've made the unprecedented move of offering a USD refund of what you paid at the time of investment. 

For some that is not good enough. They want a refund in the BNB or ETH they paid. If the market was down they wouldn't be raising that concern. For some investors in later stages, the market is down from the minute they bought. The fair thing for everyone is the USD equivalent. 

To conclude, I am not going to hide from being the "face" of the project. I'm going to lean in more with the Coinfluence team to make this project what you deserve it to be.
