It's September 2021: the Algorand price just hit $2.38, Algonauts are everywhere, and the CryptoCurrency sub is best described as a living shill for the Algorand blockchain.

The Excitement is enticing and contagious as Algorand locks in one partnership after another, but behind the scenes... A Series of Unfortunate Events are Begining to Unwind, and what was once a promising blockchain to laugh and make jokes about - is quietly becoming a disaster for investors.

This post is not a technical breakdown of Algorand nor is this post meant to fud the future of Algorand. This post is about the absolute disaster that continues to unravel for investors of the Algorand Blockchain.

------------------------------

I. A Brief Introduction to Algorand:

If someone told you about Algorand they probably also told you it was founded by Silvio Micali "a cryptography pioneer, Turing award winner and MIT professor". Algorand launched in 2019 and hails itself as a Pure Proof of Stake (PPOS). The most notable difference from traditional Proof of Stake (POS), is that the creator of the next block is selected randomly irrespective of their total stake. As the name implies this approach is touted by Algorand supporters as a more fair and decentralized version of POS.

------------------------------

II. The Beginning of an Inflationary Nightmare for Investors:

Like most crypto projects Algorand absolutely blew up in 2021, it started the year under $.40 and it ended the yearover 4x around ~$1.65. However unlike most crypto projects that peaked in early November Algorand peaked in September.

https://i.redd.it/0jgjkqekoloa1.png

What sounds like an interesting side note, holds a much darker truth for investors - Algorand inflated by 533% in 2021, as the circulating supply jumped from 1.19B to 6.37B - and 12% in 2022 from 6.37B to 7.14B. If you line up the graph for the increase in circulating supply to price, you can see the September 2021 peak lined up with a large surge in the circulating supply and a steady drop in price since.

https://i.redd.it/oqzgptvwemoa1.png

------------------------------

III. A Controversial Change in Leadership

In January of 2022 the prior CEO of the Algorand Foundation was quietly ousted from the company, and replaced with the new CEO Staci Warden. The replacement has been incredibly controversial inside the Algorand Community as the new Foundation CEO thought one of the major priorities for the Algorand Foundation was to focus on PR.

https://twitter.com/StaciW_DC/status/1499202881647489025

Additionally she's been largely criticized for acting childish and immature in her public statements - with statements that are meant to create "baseless hype" which leads to Algorand believers holding even larger underwater bags. If you have ever heard of Staci before it's probably for her, "Nike" tweet.

https://i.redd.it/ds8gyyfxuqoa1.png

This one word tweet, lead people to believe big things were imminent for Algorand Investors with a potential Nike Partnership. Instead it was later revealed that Staci had hired a former Nike Executive as the Chief Marketing Officer for Algorand.

------------------------------

IV. A Disaster in "Marketing" - Part 1: An Introduction

If you are familiar with Algorand Tokenomics you probably know, Algorand has a max supply of 10B and the beginning Centralization of Tokens with the Algorand team was one of the worst things about Algorand.

https://i.redd.it/1r9ia3fgipoa1.png

As you can see, Algorand itself was one of the initial largest holder of Algorand. When a Crypto organization needs to raise funds - they do that by selling their tokens, and that's exactly what the Algorand Foundation did. To the Foundations credit, they make bi-annual Transparency Reports that detail how much they sold and sometimes what those funds were used for. Below is a breakdown of the sales from October 2020 - September 2022 time period. Links to Transparency Reports information was gathered from: 1, 2, 3, 4 .

Numbers in Algo


In the Past two years the Algorand Foundation has sold 228M Algo and Paid their Board of Directors another 3.65M Algo. Important: these numbers do not include Algo given out for for ecosystem development - That includes another ~400M Algo over two years, some of which may have also been sold.

A Disaster in "Marketing" - Part 2: Partnerships

The past few years have been huge for Partnerships with Algorand, it seemed like every week the Algorand Foundation was announcing a new partnership. But most of these were just glorified real-world Sponsorships that Algorand paid for, that came with an Agreement to do do something on the Algorand blockchain, like FIFAs NFT flop.

https://i.redd.it/df9n4vqiypoa1.png

Announced in May 2022, Algorand became the official blockchain partner of FIFA. Immediately after the announcement the price of Algorand spiked 20%, but what investors had hoped would be game changing for the Algorand network - ended up as just another disappointment. In September 2022, FIFA launched an NFT project on the Algorand Blockchain - with over 205,000 mints, at a cost of $5 each and low resale interest: the project just ended up being a further $1M cash grab for FIFA.

The Algorand Logo was not on display as a partner during the Fifa world cup. Additionally there was not an ad or Algorand TV Spot during the world cup, something Algorand supporters had hoped to see.

A Disaster in "Marketing" - Part 3: Advertisements

Under the guidance of the new Foundation CEO Staci and a pivot to focus on PR - Algorand the "Greenest Blockchain", planned a huge marketing stunt for Earth Day 2022. They rented the time square billboards for one hour to black them out. Then they intermittently flashed them Green with the Algorand logo and text about how Algo energy consumption compares to BTC.

Source: https://shortyawards.com/7th-impact/algorand-earth-day?trk=public_post_feed-article-content

Of course the money for this publicity stunt, had to come from somewhere, and that money came from dumping Algo on Investors. From April - September 2022. The Algorand Foundation spent $22.2M on "Marketing and other forms of ecosystem promotion" which was raised by selling Algorand. In the prior six months, they only spent 9M in the same category.

------------------------------

V. MyAlgo Hack and TinyMan Hack

In late February MyAlgo was hacked and some of the largest holders on Algorand saw over $9M in Crypto drained. A week later smaller holders on MyAlgo also started to see their crypto drained in what at the time seemed like Bots draining wallets.

Image taken from a /u/Odlavso post

MyAlgo will be releasing the Preliminary Findings on the Hack tomorrow, Mar. 20th 2023.

In January 2022 TinyMan was hacked and $3M was drained from Algorand ASAs (tokens). Source

------------------------------

With all of these problems and the continuous sell pressure from the Algorand Foundation - Algo's price has continued to drop over the bear market. One Algorand was selling for nearly ~$2.40 in Sep. 2021, and is now selling for $.22. If Algorand tech can turn around the nightmare that is occurring for Algorand investors is another question.... but one thing is certain - A series of Unfortunate Events has made Investing in Algorand an absolute nightmare.

TLDR: What was once a loved project shilled endlessly by this sub has quickly and quietly turned into a nightmare for anyone still left in the project.

Edit: Since some people think analyzing the failures of Algorand over the past 18 month is "hating Algo and Fud", please read the post again. The inevitable comments about "This sub hates Algo now, I Guess that Means It's Time to Buy" misses the entire point of this post.

We would like to share with the Algorand community a thread on the recent MyAlgo security incident and our thoughts to support the victims during this challenging time.

As key participants in the Algorand ecosystem, we feel truly sorry for all the victims of this unfortunate event and we understand the need for our ecosystem champions to step up and show support to the entire community at this moment.

First and foremost: If you have not already done so, now is the time to rekey or move the assets to a new Pera Algo Wallet or Defly wallet!

Some of our portfolio companies were significantly impacted by the loss incurred in this hack. As their VC partners, we are working to do our best to provide investment support to mitigate the impact, so that they can recover and continue to operate in the ecosystem.

This is one of the biggest challenges we’ve faced in the Algorand ecosystem and it will require a coordinated effort to make sure that we can, together, bring light to these dark times and move forward towards our future with the least possible negative impact.

As a member of the Algorand Foundation Governance Advisory Committee, we would like to propose the creation of a 50M $ALGO Recovery Fund, anchored with the treasury of the Algorand Foundation and open to contributions from third parties including other ecosystem investors.

In light of unprecedented community urgency, we suggest it should be included as a 3rd measure to be voted on before the end of the current governance period of Q1 2023.

If the community votes in favor and approves the creation of the Recovery Fund, Borderless will contribute 2.5M ALGO on top of the amount that the governance community deems appropriate to be used from the Algorand Foundation treasury.

Due to the total losses and in an effort to make all the victims whole, we propose that the current Algorand blockchain ALGO fees that are now going to the Algorand Foundation treasury wallets should be allocated to this Recovery Fund until the community is fully restituted.

As it relates to the intricacies of restitution through the Recovery Fund, we are extremely eager to help the Algorand Foundation, along with other major ecosystem participants to quickly develop a process and work alongside third parties to have an orderly distribution of funds.

We hope this initiative will be supported by the broader community of Algorand users, builders, node runners, investors and all other participants, and together we will come out of this incident stronger than ever!

Last week on February 20th it was reported that over 13 million ALGOs were stolen from different users, it appears that all of these users were using a My Algorand browser based wallet. MyAlgo tweeted this morning recommending that all users move assets off any Mnemonic wallet stored on MyAlgo site.

If you have a hardware wallet linked to MyAlgo your crypto should be fine since your seed phrase was never on their website.

It also appears that Pera wallets are not affected buy hardware wallet would be best.

John Woods the CTO of the Algorand foundation made a statement that the hack was not a problem with Algorand itself.

Gard protocol a DeFi platform on Algorand was also affected by the recent hack, no users funds were taken but it appears a portion of their operating funds were.

I’ve been a part of Algorand since 2020. I’ve invested at highs, lows, and for the most part haven’t stopped buying it. I genuinely think it has some of the best tech in the market and it’s incredibly hard for me to bet against M.I.T.’s brainchild. For the nitpickers, Silvio Micali was mentioned in BTC whitepaper and his work that earned him the Turing Award is vast since he started in the 1980s at MIT and remains there today. It’s a professor from Mit’s brainchild. I say all of this to try to draw differences from the start between Algorand the blockchain developer and Algorand the foundation that spurs interest and economic development. They’re two different entities and the foundation does not keep the chain running so to speak. Algorand Co. is the brains behind the well oiled machine, more aptly Silvio Micali.

Semantics and résumés aside the foundation concerns me. Staci Warden is not uneducated nor is she bad at her work. She’s landed partnerships we never would’ve had before and though they haven’t blossomed through the bear market like many others, the work will continue to develop until it just becomes a part of everyone’s lives. My problem is the governance and by proxy, the foundation which Staci Warden heads. Algo now has no rewards through Coinbase and it has not had a genuinely transparent quarter of governance or open door to their decision making behind their programs. There are conversations that don’t seem to involve the public like their developments or methodology, so how could we vote to spur them properly?

We’ve had governance every quarter for quite some time now. The first question was to increase rewards at the risk of slashing your locked amount for governance if you withdrew during the period. The community voted against the riskier but more potentially profitable measure and we moved on. Since then it has been defi funding after defi funding and it’s starting to feel like they’re taking the losses of their defi giants and socializing them amongst us through governance. When they issue a governance question it’s “Do we increase defi funding by 5m Algo or 15m Algo per quarter from the governance reward pool?”

This is participation, not governance. The people running the project can not be that dull. In my opinion this is the only thing holding Algorand back from being in the top 10 or 5. Before my fellow Algo investors get up in arms, I understand they’re working to change governance through their new proposal system but it feels slow and it feels like something not geared toward grassroots investors but instead the defi competitors. This new Algo X Governor program is confusing at best and I hope to understand more from your comments.

I understand Defi will help this chain, I understand that Algorand is a 10 year build, but I want to actually choose here. If they’re smart they’ll make a better proposal this next quarter and hopefully make adjustments here. I’m also aware that even if we had genuine questions, we could get completely outvoted by whales since the market cap is low enough for opportunity to manipulate here, but hopefully with the low institutional interest Algorand has experienced we can reasonably say it’s not the worst imbalance of whales in the crypto world.

Accelerated vesting is over, partnerships are here and big ones at that, and Algorand continues to have 0 down time and continuously top of the line tech. This is the only thing standing in its way of being a truly decentralized currency and transaction network and I hope I can read comments informing me of what I don’t know. I want to see this crypto flourish mainly because it’s partnered with universities all over the country. If you wanted a good government competitor, you’d wanna find the smartest people. Lawyers, devs, and values that supersede government whim working together. Hopefully the foundation doesn’t bring the merit of Algorand Co. and their work down and I look forward to learning what y’all have experienced as well.

TL;DR: Algorand’s foundation needs to establish actual governance, or they won’t be able to fully provide what the market needs. This will be wasting the tech that makes them such a great option for blockchain use and limiting investor involvement which has historically been a bad move especially in crypto from my observations. Alternative example: imagine if publicly traded companies didn’t have to produce filings. Forget unprofessional, that’s just unnerving.

First sorry for those affected by this hack.

I have seen a lot of tweets and posts that seem to put blame on Algorand, when in reality it is myAlgo's fault. MyAlgo wallet is not Algorand. It seems like it is a bit of a forgotten project by the people behind it, which may have affected its maintenance and security.

But as a community, we have to stay strong. I really feel we start to have something going on right now. And things look bright. Don't let guys like the OPULOUS CEO destroy all this, cause he feels threatened by Napster and Limewire.

Algorand is on the right path, just hire a CFO for its growth project. Researchwise it is kicking ass, imagine in the next 3-4 years, we could be the first blockchain running full-scale decentralized multiparty computation (MPC) on Algorand, as well as having fully Homomorphic encryption (FHE). See the the paper by the Algorand researchers for an example:

https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/210.pdf

A public blockchain will never get adopted until it reconciles two conflicting forces: its public nature with privacy. This is because companies will never put their sensitive data on a public blockchain without some privacy feature. Healthcare, insurance, land registry, degree certificates data will never be on a public blockchain unless these two forces, public and privacy, are reconciled. And considering the team behind Algorand (Micali, Halevi, Tal Rabin, Hugo Krawczyk, Pekert, and its advisors) are top of their field.

I believe Algorand will be the first to reconcile these two forces.
