Thanks, @ChrisS, 
I didn't contribute to the design, and I did not like it at all.
I tried to convince the founder that a token (and a blockchain) was not necessary. I made several proposals, but the investment agreement with VCs included a token ... 

I shared the view that an uncensorable Substack was needed, unfortunately we picked the wrong tools, the wrong incentives. And, eventually the flawed design made the company sink.

Too bad, because the team was great, the founder honest and passionate.

@marco's bio

Welcome.  How did you design and build capsule social so that it was “resistant to censorship and takedowns”?  Why did you feel the need to invent a shitcoin for this project?  And exactly what lessons did you learn from this experience to push you to bitcoin only?
