On February 25, with 3 days left until March 1, 120 million SOL will be unlocked.
Theoretically, SBF, who is still in prison, has posted again on X after 2 years, discussing corporate layoffs and management issues.
He stated that laying off employees is one of the most difficult decisions, and it is usually not the fault of the employees themselves. He pointed out that the problem often stems from the company's inability to provide employees with suitable positions, managers, or work environments.
SBF mentioned that some companies have blindly expanded, resulting in a large number of employees being idle, such as a certain competitor that has over-recruited 30,000 employees. He emphasized that when a department loses direction due to the distraction of managers or internal politics, this is not the fault of the employees, but keeping idle employees on the payroll is also meaningless.
At the same time, SBF also joked that he has something in common with government employees: both have not checked their emails for hundreds of days, and he added that "the days of unemployment are not as easy as they seem."
As a result, FTT surged 30% within an hour.
At this point, it is impossible not to think of 2021, when SOL was also experiencing a large-scale unlocking, and SBF made a classic statement:
I will buy all the SOL you own at $3 per coin.
Sell me all you want to sell.
Then fuck off.
4 years have passed, and SOL has now truly become a challenger to Ethereum, the most dazzling public chain star of this cycle.
Currently, SBF's tweet has been added with a community note, "SBF has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for seven counts of fraud and conspiracy, and is prohibited from accessing his email. He has no choice of employment, while the unemployed are free to seek work elsewhere."
Regarding this, someone expressed doubts about the account owner, and Ape Ventures partner xeer stated that SBF 100% sold his account, as his early tweets and current tweets are completely different in almost every aspect, including language, terminology, and wording. Regardless of personal circumstances, people would not change so drastically so quickly.
Crypto KOL Evan Van Ness also seems to recognize the "conspiracy theory," stating, "Remember when I told you all that the big crypto foundations would stop at nothing to create billions of dollars in SOL unlocking exit liquidity? I didn't even think they would use SBF."
Solana core builder and Helius founder Mert went crazy with memes on X:
Okay, who accidentally put SBF on the Solana phone delivery list?
I firmly deny all allegations that we were so bad that we secretly used SBF's phone to bid on SOL one last time.
Coinciding with the crypto market crash, GM Capital investor Beanie began to compare SBF with the former Argentine president's coin $Libra issuer Hayden, once again criticizing Hayden:
Hayden is worse than SBF. At least SBF is one of us. He made money when we made money. The misappropriated funds went back into the crypto space. SBF made a good bet. His intention was not to rape us. It was just bad timing. No one lost. Hayden only extracts. He is the worst supervillain.
Once, everyone saw SBF as the savior of Solana, and Solana was seen as the "SBF concept coin," so they were expecting SBF to save SOL again during this unlocking.
The editor believes that this is an overestimation of SBF and an underestimation of SOL.
From the shadow of SBF to independent rise, Solana has gone through a turbulent rebirth. Today's Solana has completely transformed into an independent and powerful public chain ecosystem. This transformation is not only reflected in the fluctuations in price, but more profoundly in the significant improvement of its infrastructure and the comprehensive prosperity of its ecosystem.
The significant improvement in network performance has solved the problem of frequent downtime in the past, the improvement of development tools has provided more convenience for more developers, and the diversification and prosperity of the ecosystem have freed Solana from the dependence on a single institution or individual.
Today, whether it's DeFi, MEME, DePin, or AI, Solana has shown strong appeal in this cycle.
Although the large-scale token unlocking on March 1 is undoubtedly a test, it is already very different from the situation two years ago. Today's Solana has a stronger community foundation and a more diverse ecosystem. Its future will no longer depend on a single individual, but on the joint efforts of countless ecosystem builders.
The future of Solana may become more prosperous or decline, but this will not be solely related to one person, as the crypto world does not need an emperor.
