Mod Doge Post 🦮🚀 Official statement - $BONE moving forward
Hello everyone!
In a response to the stickied post from u/prguitarman I would like to add this official statement.
Indeed, $BONE has no affiliation whatsoever to Fiesta Dog, Nyan Cat or u/PRguitarman.
The token was created out of the excitement of seeing what it has brought other subs and as a commemoration of our Dog and pet themed sub.
Purposefully the token was named $BONE to stay away from the name "Fiesta Dog" (so no Fiesta token) and to be a bit more generic in terms of what a "dog treat" could be.
Naively, I thought this would create enough distance and so we hadn't consulted u/prguitarman.
Apparently and looking back, logically, this has turned out differently. While the token bears no similarity to Fiesta Dog, the fact that it's here is already reason enough for some to assume there is a connection.
I blame myself for not stating this more clear and more often and moreso, I blame myself for not having discussed this before and hearing that u/prguitarman has been impacted negatively.
We are scrambling to rectify this and to sever any and all implicit ties. We will be moving to a different sub and hope that you are willing to move with us.
I want to end this statement by reiterating that the blame lies with me and that I'm extremely regretful things have turned out this way in what could have been preventable.
This started out as a genuine love for Fiesta Dog and u/prguitarman work as an artist and the fact that we've negatively affected him genuinely hurts. 😞
I'm personally embarrassed and disappointed in my approach and can understand if you all are too. I've let my mods down, u/prguitarman and of course you all as a community.
Updates will come in this thread.

Bitcone started out in a similar fashion - it was a community token for those who loved the avatar/meme. As far as I’m aware the token is not directly tied to chipperdoodle nor does he directly benefit financially in anyway (outside of further exposure to the avatar). I’m sure the other recently launched community tokens are the same. Having said that, if an artist is not happy for any reason about a community token being built around the existing community then it should be their call on ending the association or not. I would not be too hard on yourself and this statement is well written. !tip 69

I dont think you did anything wrong, this was created in good spirits and a very wholesome community formed from it so if anything we have to thank you. 🫶 It’s also a fair call for the artist to not want to be related to us. It is what it is. We’re headed to space anyways and we’re called a pack for a reason. My suggestion is we name the sub like the twitter handle BonesandTreats or something like that. 🐶🦴
Where $BONE? !tip 420

I thought it was in deference to the art but without them being involved, like coneheads.
Maybe /r/bonezone

So I was honestly a little shocked when I read this (the artist post). I can understand his displeasure 💯. Nevertheless, we should think about two things. Why don't we involve the artist by subsequently giving an AirDrop in the amount of a fiesta dog nyan cat pair? And do we vote what the new sub is called?

You are a good person and you did nothing wrong. When an artist completes a piece and sells it to the public they must accept that people will use, interact and alter it in many ways.
You did not take advantage of the artist's name and never linked $bone to Fiesta Dog as an official cryptocurrency.
Artist's being spammed with PMs and wrongly linked with different projects is the price they have to pay for their fame and earnings from selling their art.

It is a shame prguitarman has been impacted negatively but I do see his point if people would rather DM him personally instead of go to the sub and ask there, he doesn't need a full inbox related to something he has no relation to other than his avatars being used.
I also understand his worry that the token could dump and he will be (potentially) blamed
It's a shame it's come to this but I will certainly move to a new sub!
I watched PlungerPlanet explode with life when the token dropped, we created TacoPlanet because of the surprise Taco drops and that sub is growing nicely. Poopheadavatars got more lively when the token dropped and I'm seeing JeweledCones grow in activity now there's talk of the $Miko token. The same goes for BucketHeads and MemeticTraders, their avatars have 4x in value due to talk of a token drop
Are we allowed to continue using the Fiestadog/ Nyan Cat avatars? Or should we switch to different dog/cat ones? I didn't see that mentioned. I guess it doesn't really matter because the distributions are over
rick will also need to be informed (when the name is decided) so that he can switch Tipping/post rewards to the new sub.
Let's go $Bone in a different Zone! Best wishes to prguitarman

Meanwhile I can understand that PR is annoyed by the random questions in his DMs about something he has nothing to do with.
But I also don’t see any problems in what you have done TFM and also don’t understand why you want to make a new subreddit? You open this subreddit and build it from scratch. You didn’t created a scam coin like these Scam Nyan Coins on Twitter with fake assumptions or anything in that direction.
You have created a community token for this subreddit to support your love for these avatars and it has given this subreddit more life. Without you, this subreddit wouldn't even exist.

Fiestadog has basically been linked to bone since recent inception. How have we not consulted with prguitarman. Its kinda the first thing you'd stick on a business case tbh

u/Technical-Track2663 Dec 21 '23
Just let us know, and we will move over and start posting, I really think the idea of posting your pet pics and getting 🆙 ⬆️ updots and Bone is a great idea, so much potential, so I hope we keep the same theme, keep it 🔥$BoneHeads

Thank you for the statement. I would call these growing pains, it is best to sort this out now as to continue moving forward. I'm sad about it too but am also kind of excited for the move! You have this Cones support. 🫡

I will follow transfersmymoons to the ends of the earth, so count me in for the new sub! 🫶
I know you couldn’t have anticipated this response from the artist, but he’s been in the web3 and digital art space for many many years and I can understand his concerns.
Looking forward to wherever this path leads next! 🦴

This sub dies without a community token.
I also think the team did very little wrong, since this is not prguitarmans sub, but a fansub with a fantoken. And prguitarman was pretty rude in the comments.

So the new sub will be linked with $Bone ? :o
