Ordinals ecology bites each other! Two Big Boss Chokes' Node Monkey 'Founder Rocktoshi to Get Out of the Ecosystem

Casey Rodarmor denied the claim on X that Rocktoshi, the founder of NodeMonkeys, claimed to be a co-founder of Ordinals.

Casey Rodarmor stated that although Rocktoshi had been on Discord since the early days of Ordinals and was one of the four co founders of Ordinals Corporation, the startup dissolved three months after its establishment, and Rocktoshi did not contribute any code (because he did not know how to) or propose any meaningful ideas during the early days of Ordinals.

In addition, Casey criticized Rocktoshi as an unreliable or untrustworthy person, even making crazy demands for Casey to pay him $5 million in exchange for his shares in the company, but the key point is that these shares do not exist at all, and the company itself is a completely worthless entity. Casey said:

In this ecosystem, many people have dealt with Rocktoshi, and everyone I have talked to has experienced similar situations, being threatened, deceived, manipulated, and defrauded for a long time. Rocktoshi took advantage of the opportunity to get closer to me and embedded himself in this ecosystem, and I regret not speaking out earlier like others

On the other hand, Leonidas, the developer of Ordinals and initiator of Runestone, has publicly criticized Rocktoshi and regrets his decision to remain silent

What I truly care about is why someone with obvious manipulative, intimidating, lying, and harassing behavior can exist in our ecosystem for so long without being stopped. I know too many people who have had bad experiences with Rocktoshi, and I regret not standing up earlier

In order to prevent the ecosystem from being further harmed by people like Rocktoshi, Leonidas calls on the public to speak out and drive Rocktoshi out of the ecosystem. However, Leonidas also emphasized that the Node Monkey project is objectively a very excellent Ordinals collection project, and there is no need to deny its advantages because of hating the founder.

We can take a more complex perspective, appreciating a collectible while also recognizing that its founder is a detestable character
