Hashgraph Enthusiasts

Facing significant changes and challenges in the Hedera ecosystem, I've decided to pause the "Hashgraph Enthusiasts" live show after nearly three years and 146 episodes to focus on more impactful work in the HBAR community. Recognizing that others and I are spread thin, I believe I can bring greater value through my role as Director of Communications at Hgraph, where I'm working on initiatives critical to the ecosystem's growth, particularly in supporting developers and startups. Emphasizing that this hiatus is not an end but the start of a new chapter, I stress the importance of personal growth to foster ecosystem development. I also call for unity within the community, urge Hedera leadership to improve transparency and responsiveness, and remain confident about the future, believing that how these challenges are handled will determine long-term success.
