In the English-speaking HODL DAO chat, another round of discussions reveals the same pattern — silence from the “management,” endless excuses, and desperate questions from investors still hoping for their money back.
Mischa Duncan expresses gratitude for translations but points out the obvious:
“If everything is transparent, why not post all info directly in the group?”
Her comment exposes the core problem — there’s no transparency, only selective information controlled by moderators.
Then Jan Moraru joins in, calmly reporting that he checked the project in September and found out that payouts are now “only 10% per year”.
His message reads like resignation:
“The site is functional, but only 10% at the end of each year. I will wait till January and see what happens with my money.”
That 10% line becomes symbolic — the last thread of hope for those who still believe something will come back.
A few days later, Holli Diel posts a meme — “ANY NEWS?” — and writes:
“My 120 days were up, but no withdrawal. Any updates?”
No response follows, only a few emoji reactions.
Then Natasha & Nelson join in, writing with irony:
“LP withdrawals are a distant dream for many of us here.”
Their words perfectly capture the collective frustration: months of waiting, zero payouts, and constant deflection from admins.
Jenny Joya Bykov Zur, one of the main community voices, sends a short voice message labeled “last update,” asking everyone to “stay positive.”
But positivity doesn’t fill wallets.
At this point, HODL DAO has entered its classic post-scam phase — when promises replace numbers, and the main product of the project becomes hope.
Every new “update” sounds emptier, and the only thing that grows is the silence between questions and answers.
HODL DAO has stopped pretending to be a crypto venture.
It’s now just a waiting room for the deceived, painted in bright words and broken promises.
The latest week in the HODL DAO English chat turned into chaos again.
Admins introduced two “updates”: the mysterious Inception Blockchain and the new LP 2.0 program, which, as users quickly discovered, demands a 25 % new deposit to unlock old funds.
Rosa Valero summed up the disbelief perfectly:
“LP 2.0 is asking 25 % new deposit to get our original LP and money earned. When are we going to get our LP back without more money?”
That question echoed through the chat.
Instead of answers, Jenny Joya Bykov Zur sent more voice messages, promising a “major Zoom update soon.”
The same pattern repeated: delay, hope, no clarity.
Doug Corbett pointed out the elephant in the room — founder John Barksdale’s $100 million debt to the U.S. SEC:
“My hope is that he is building HODL LP so he can add his own money to pay off his debt.”
Meanwhile, users like Crypto World and Vincent demanded verifiable information:
“Plz share about Inception Blockchain. Address, PDF, any info. Is it ready or not?”
No answer ever came.
Holli Diel, whose “120 days up” messages have become symbolic for the community, once again asked:
“120 days are up. Where’s my LP withdrawal?”
And again — silence.
Monique delivered the final blow of reason:
“You can’t manifest on a foundation that’s rotten. You can’t create reality out of something built on lies.”
The so-called “DAO” now looks less like a decentralized autonomous organization and more like a psychological experiment on hope.
Users are asked to “stay positive” while their money remains locked behind new fees, new programs, and a new name — Inception Blockchain — that no one has ever seen.
P.S. The Final Straw: Paying to Get Your Own Money Back
By October 28th, even the calmest members of the HODL DAO community had lost patience.
Vincent summed up what everyone was thinking:
“Deposit another 25% to get your money? Are you serious? If you don’t, you get it slower? Just give back the money.”
That line became the turning point — the collective realization that HODL DAO’s so-called “new program” was nothing more than another round of extraction.
Monique followed with sharp clarity:
“Paying to get your own money back — that’s absurd. We should actually be the ones getting compensated.”
She voiced what every trapped investor felt: the project had shifted from “profit-sharing” to ransom-paying.
Even the idea of “slow payouts” sounded hollow — another vague promise with no proof or schedule.
Vincent closed the day with one final message that resonated through the chat:
“At this point, all that’s left is giving back the money. Stop with all the nonsense about airdrops and new programs.”
After months of manipulations and pseudo-blockchain jargon, the mask has finally slipped.
The once-hyped DAO now stands exposed as what it always was — a cycle of empty words feeding on hope and deposits.
В англоязычном чате HODL DAO снова вспыхнуло обсуждение, знакомое всем, кто хоть раз сталкивался с пирамидальными проектами. Прошло уже несколько месяцев с момента обещанных «выплат в сентябре», но пользователи продолжают видеть только пустые кошельки и новые оправдания от администрации.
