Alright, since the same storyline keeps getting rerun like a bad Netflix reboot, here’s the full “official statement” so everyone can stop playing telephone with numbers that were never true in the first place.
Let’s start with the legendary “Chrono took 200K HIVE” myth. Apparently this number has gone from rumor to folklore to sacred community scripture at this point. I’ve said it before, but let me say it again for the people in the back:
I never received anywhere near 200K HIVE.
Not 200K, not 100K, not even anything that would make me consider quitting Instacart. If I had walked away with 200K HIVE, trust me, you’d never catch me hustling groceries at dawn. I’d be on a beach somewhere, drinking overpriced water and ignoring Discord notifications entirely. But here I am in the trenches, doing actual work, because unlike the conspiracy version of me floating around, the real version has to earn his money.
Now, onto Utopis. Since we’re revisiting ancient history, let’s be consistent. The assumption seems to be that I dumped, vanished, or somehow cashed out into the sunset. Yeah no. In fact, Marky himself already mentioned it:
I’ve been buying Utopis off the market.
Yes, actually buying it. With my own money. Through actual transactions. Wild concept, I know. Some people think I rugged, but somehow I’m the one picking up tokens while others are busy writing dramatic monologues or fighting side quests.
And since the topic came up, let me be extra transparent because apparently transparency needs to be spelled out around here:
I’m using my Instacart income to keep buying Utopis.
That’s right. I am literally delivering groceries at 5 a.m. and allocating part of those earnings to buy a token that people love declaring “dead” every other week. If I had a secret vault of 200K HIVE, I promise you I wouldn’t be debating this. I’d also be buying far more than what I currently am. But no I’m doing things the normal way, the responsible way, the way people forget exists when drama starts flying.
Everything I’ve done has been on chain, out in the open, without theatrics. There are no secret handshakes, no backdoor deals, no shadow cabal funding my Utopis buys. I know the truth is way less entertaining than the rumors, but that’s life. I buy what I want. I hold what I want. And I’m not the villain of anyone’s personal soap opera.
And listen I’m not here to referee anyone’s meltdowns, ego battles, or fan fiction about who did what. I’ve corrected the misinformation. I’ve clarified the numbers. I’ve said what needed to be said. If people want to keep rehashing the same story arcs, that’s on them.
At the end of the day, the chain doesn’t lie. The math doesn’t lie. And I don’t need to defend myself from recycled exaggerations. I’ll be over here doing my work, earning my income, and buying Utopis with my Instacart money while everyone else argues about lore.
Case closed.
