CZ: Understanding the Young P's Pain and Regret, Strongly Advises Against "Free Riding" on Others, Must Respect Their Choice

January 14, CZ responded to the **"Meme Coin HAPPY-SCI: $420k Donation Destroyed, ~$4M Market Cap Plummets to Near Zero"** (link: https://www.theblockbeats.info/flash/328062) by acknowledging the community and P-Gen’s frustration and distress. But every story has two sides, and he offered these clarifications: 1. You can’t force a "piggyback" on others. Trying is fine, but if others ignore you or the outcome isn’t what you expected, you have to accept it—after all, you’re the one seeking to piggyback. In a decentralized world, respecting others’ choices is non-negotiable. 2. Everyone has their own priorities. Not everyone wants their small charity project tied to an unknown meme token. This could sully the charity’s reputation: Is it truly charity, or a front for P-Gen’s get-rich-quick scheme? Are there personal vested interests? Is it genuine giving or false advertising? Words alone can’t clear this up—integrity matters more. 3. Circumstances vary. For companies/projects I advise, strict opposition to insider trading is a hard rule. Any involvement with external projects creates unclear conflicts of interest, and usually leads to termination. I’m sure everyone here agrees 100%: The community can’t demand employees back their projects *and* demand zero insider trading risk—those two can’t coexist. Additionally, CZ noted he’s not fully familiar with the full situation, but for Siyuan, point #2 is likely the most critical. Respect your own choices; don’t pin all blame on others.
