Dith · 1922· 1y ago88“Upstanding Founder - Ethos”On Serpin's sharing of what happened with $WHUF: https://x.com/serpinxbt/status/2109653007742664810?s=20 Ethos' founder, Serpin’s sharing on what happened is imo, a masterclass in communication - something founders and teams can learn from. His reflection was frank and insightful from behind the scenes and his POV. He apologised and took ownership for things, yet remain unapologetic for how he and the team will continue to build Ethos. I respect Serpin and wish him and the Ethos team all the best!

HQ · 1485· 4d ago109“Big respect. 🧠🔥”Been following him for a while, and it’s clear he’s not just talking, he’s building. As CEO of Ethos Network, he’s pushing some of the most forward-thinking ideas in modular blockchain design and on-chain coordination. Visionary but grounded. Definitely someone shaping the future of Web3.

MruxW3/Shadow3x · 1344· 1y ago86“Genuinely good guy pushing the space forward”Serpin may have finally cracked social fi in a way that's non-extractive, net good, and positive sum. It would've been impossible to do for anybody that was after their own self interests, vs those of the space

Quit · 1958· 1y ago85“Serpin has Big Brain”When I was in VC with Serpin and when he was getting to know me for verification, he actually knew a bit about the area where I live when I talked about it I was very surprised! Not many people know much about my state, let alone the city/town :) He was also nice to chat with! +EV for crypto

Henry · 1421· 8mo ago84“Goated builder”I have known Serp for awhile, and crossed paths a number of times. Admittedly, I was a tad skeptical of ethos in the beginning but Serp won me over through his relentless focus on product and comms. Love the product and while it has its issues, its definitely a net positive for the space.

maverick · 1853· 9mo ago83“Amazing guy”What's there to say really, serpin is a great guy and he's the founder of ethos I've had some interactions with him on the ethos dc and he's a chill guy with great sense of humor

Coco 🥷🐾🪖 · 1377· 9mo ago83“Good Founder. I'm really excited to see where Ethos goes”I see huge potential in Ethos and trust Serpin to take it in the right direction. He seems very aware of the problems with Ethos, the potential for circle jerks and manipulation. I think Ethos will only improve under Serpin's direction. He has a great vision and seems competent in carrying out that vision. I can tell he is always striving to improve Ethos. I am very jealous of his name. I'm a huge fan of the Mars Volta and especially Deloused in the Comatoriom. Knew he was a cool guy just based on this.

MCG · 1463· 8mo ago82“I like what this guy is doing”Those who know me well understand how much I sometimes can't stand various project founders and teams, and how often their actions fall under my criticism. But today I can say that Serpin is one of the very few people in this category whom I rate 5 stars as a startup leader, founder, and builder. This is the case where I agree with almost everything that is being done. You can feel a competent, unhurried approach, caution, an understanding of the market, and a great desire to figure out how to properly adapt the product with maximum compliance in all key aspects. He loves his project and its idea, and this fuels him with inexhaustible energy. If there were more people like him in crypto, we could build an almost perfect Web3. What especially impresses me is the competent and cautious approach to building the economy around XP. This is rare; I don't think I've ever encountered such a tactic and attention to this issue before. A special project, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

ZET · 1535· 8mo ago81“who would build something like ethos?”ive had the recent pleasure of getting to know serpin taxt more through public discourse and also private conversations he has the utilization and positive push of blockchain as his priorities one of the good ones and building a product that has the potential to be a staple of all of our lives kinda wild to say that

۟ · 1831· 1y ago81“OG Founder of Ethos”I’ve known Serpin since the MBs days, and one thing was always clear: doing things the right way mattered more to him than chasing hype. We used to talk during FT Spaces about how time would reveal who truly stands by their words once the noise fades—and it did. It’s no surprise to see him build ETHOS. This space has long needed something grounded in reputation and integrity.
