Hello.
I’m known as Pug on Twitter and Telegram. I’d like to share a bit about my journey and how
@PancakeSwap positively influenced, until recently, the way I view crypto and web3. First, I want to thank everyone who believed in my work as a PancakeSwap ambassador. Unfortunately, I no longer hold that role, as I was accused of spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt). But throughout this text, I’ll explain why I believe the real issue lies with PancakeSwap’s current CEO, Chef Kids (
@Headchef_pcs), and the decisions that have led the community to question the project’s
transparency.My journey in the crypto world began in late 2020 when I discovered CAKE staking on PancakeSwap. Fascinated by the platform, I started exploring it extensively. Since I found it easy to understand its features, I began helping other users on social media and in Telegram groups. That’s when I met Juapia (
@juapia), a PancakeSwap ambassador who became my first mentor. Juapia was exceptional: dedicated, patient, and always explained everything in detail, especially for newcomers like me who were still navigating the complex web3 universe.Juapia taught me the importance of staying cautious to avoid scams, how to interact directly with the blockchain, and how to overcome my fear of exploring smart contracts. His guidance was crucial for me to navigate with confidence and security. What I admired most about Juapia was his attitude: he didn’t just help me but assisted any user who expressed doubts in groups or on social media. His patience and generosity were inspiring, and I drew inspiration from him to contribute to the community as well.Over time, I started answering questions, clarifying doubts, and guiding newcomers on how to use PancakeSwap safely. This voluntary work caught Juapia’s attention, and recognizing my dedication and knowledge, he invited me to become a moderator and, later, an ambassador for PancakeSwap. For me, it was an honor. I saw it as an opportunity to give back to the community that welcomed me and to help build a stronger, more trustworthy
ecosystem.As a token of recognition for my efforts, I was awarded a special NFT called Panurai, designed to symbolize defending the community against threats. This NFT became a powerful reminder of my commitment to protecting and empowering users in the web3 space. To this day, the spirit of Panurai guides me, inspiring my actions in the present and my vision for the future.
