If someone anonymous starts a Patreon to support your software project I'll assume that someone is you and it will take very strong evidence to change my mind.

It's so funny tho. If you post on reddit saying "my friend had a fight with his wife last night..." absolutely no one would believe it's really your friend. But somehow you say "uh so there is someone anonymous who launched a meme coin for my project..." people believe it's really someone anonymous.



That's a reasonable assumption to make and one I wondered about too!

I'm just saying that there's no evidence I'm aware of that would prove or disprove that the creators were involved.

Personally, I think crypto types are bizarre enough that I could believe they would do something like that unannounced.

In my mind, it's the same behaviour as the infamous Kylie Jenner "get her to $1 billion" GoFundMe from a few years back: https://www.businessinsider.com/kylie-jenner-gofundme-fans-c...
