1/I generally avoid drama because it is totally unnecessary, i continue to hold both $LINK and $BAND, both are great projects so not sure why our communities need to always crash

With that said, i need to defend $BAND and @loopringorg team, especially @jay_loopring here

2/Loopring partnered with Chainlink last year with a 'plan' to integrate $LINK feed for $LRC price feed. Since the staking component of @loopringorg is not live yet, it has not been used

Now, they recently partner with $BAND to use Band oracle to cross-check frontend price

3/You can see it even in the frontend of Loopring now if you go to their website so it's live

Band team outlines why it's important in this piece before https://medium.com/bandprotocol/integrating-bands-oracle-into-your-user-interface-5bcf19448a9e?source=collection_home---5------1-----------------------

4/ @jay_loopring is being very transparent, professional and honest about the work loopring has been doing including what is live, what is not, and what is being planned

he faces backlash from link community from doing so

i admire him for that

5/it's rare to find such character in the industry that is often hype driven with marketing first

Jay stood up to the internet trolls and that takes characters

not everyone can be like that

6/i continue to believe in both $band and $link to continue to co-exist and complement each other in their offering

i am also against online harassment, its counterproductive and toxic for crypto industry

we need and deserve better than this

7/i hope both will be used in many great projects like Loopring and we stop trash talking each other, spreading FUD

we'd unite, drive use case and security of blockchain industry

i sincerely hope it will happen one day

with love @jay_loopring you're doing the right thing

8/lastly

in the world where you can be anything, be kind
