Wallet address / ENS: Private — shared with GTU members Gabriel, Silke, and BZ.

Brief bio and relevant background:
As a long-term major $JUSTICE token holder, I am committed to representing the interests of large holders while contributing strong product and technical expertise. My goal is to bridge governance alignment and execution — meeting the needs of holders, developers, and the wider DAO community.

I have contributed to multiple Binance-listed projects. I am also collaborating with one of China’s largest listed luxury jewelry and precious metals groups on its RWA platform, leveraging blockchain to tokenize and manage high-value assets.

Track record:

  • Early donor and original member of AssangeDAO via Juicebox.
  • Major $JUSTICE holder (>5%), fully aligned with DAO interests.
  • Builder and advisor to multiple Binance-listed and high-profile projects.
  • Collaborations with industry leaders such as ConsenSys and LayerZero.
  • Winner of multiple hackathons and grants, including 1st Place at Binance Hackathon, 2nd Place at BNB Chain Hackathon, selection for the exSat (Vaulta, previously EOS) Hackathon, and recognition from Polygon and AvesHack (Avalanche) grant programs.

Statement of alignment with Julian Assange’s mission or values:
As a long-term holder and active contributor, I share Julian Assange’s principles of transparency, justice, and freedom of information. I have been deeply moved by Julian Assange’s actions, and I am grateful to have contributed through AssangeDAO to efforts that ultimately helped secure his freedom. I look forward to continuing to contribute to this cause and to the DAO’s mission in the future. My governance approach ensures the DAO’s direction aligns with community consensus while maintaining high technical and operational standards.

Understanding of the role and commitment to fulfill it:
If elected, my first responsibility will be to faithfully execute community-approved actions and protect DAO assets. I will ensure timely and accurate execution of proposals, maintain transparency in operations, and coordinate effectively with other signers. In addition, I can contribute product and technical perspectives when relevant, leveraging my experience with listed companies and leading Web3 projects to support secure and efficient governance. Through these efforts, I aim to deliver practical, high-impact contributions to the GTU and to the long-term value of $JUSTICE.

Brief bio and relevant background:

Early donor and original member of AssangeDAO.
From fundraising to rescuing Mr. Assange, I have been doing community publicity work. I have tried my best to achieve the core goal of cohesion and eliminate community differences.

Statement of alignment with Julian Assange’s mission or values:

I admire Mr. Assange and I admire his insistence on press freedom in the face of power. At the same time, as a long-term holder of tokens, I stand firmly with the majority of community members. I want to revitalize the community, realize the value of tokens, and promote Mr. Assange’s ideals.

Understanding of the role and commitment to fulfill it:

I think as a multi-signer, the first responsibility is to actively implement community resolutions while maintaining good communication with other multi-signers to resolve various community issues. Of course, the most important thing is to protect community funds. Whether or not I am elected, I will continue to contribute to the community.

35，three question:
1)How do you define hype? What kind of scenarios constitute hype?
2)Do you think the current 1m market cap is reasonable? Overvalued? Undervalued?
3)If the market cap rises to 5m 10m 15m 20m 25m 30m+, which range do you consider mild hype? Which range is severe hype?

13

I think it’s an important aspect. When I look back to the past, as the token price decreased, it lead to cursing Julian, and celebrating him, when the price went up. I personally don’t like the idea, that the mood of a community can get influenced by the dynamics of a token price and that’s an important aspect, that should also be considered in future. Financial interests and Purpose can be in conflict with each other and that can be a weakness, messing with the expectations of why somebody participates and why not, especially when a mission serves a purpose to make a political change. The purpose of why somebody joins and what somebody expects are essential aspects of core values and these usually give direction and therefore, common goals.

I don’t see multi-signers as “commanders” but simply as contributors with a very specific task: keeping the treasury safe and making sure community decisions are executed securely. It’s a functional role, not a political one.

The Consensus Unit, on the other hand, should serve as the guardian of AssangeDAO’s mission, stepping in only when our core principles are at risk: Assange’s full freedom, free speech, and resistance against political persecution.

About the hype the price,honestly, I think the whole question is misleading. Unless someone can clearly define what “hype” actually means, it’s just a vague accusation.If the DAO funds real development from the treasury, builds actual tools, pushing Assange’s cause forward，supports liquidity to stabilize $JUSTICE, ,and that leads to more confidence and a higher token price , are you seriously calling that “hype”?

So unless we can draw that line clearly, I see this as a false problem.
maybe before throwing around the word “hype,” clarify what you mean. Because right now it sounds like you’re trying to blur the line between “hype” and “genuine progress.”

It is encouraging to see Gabriel step forward. In the absence of stronger candidates, taking initiative becomes an unquestionable responsibility. The community has long expected consensus units to assume greater roles—to become active participants and contributors rather than remain passive.

For too long, the community has been fragmented, lacking strong leadership. If consensus units continue to distance themselves and remain neutral, they will only leave the community adrift and vulnerable to decline. I express my full appreciation and support for Gabriel’s decision to act.

justice正义币！肯定要比特朗普币和Vance币厉害的多，让我们一起努力吧！

The community has always held two simple hopes: one is that after the community helps Assange gain freedom, he can lead the community to grow and thrive, and the other is that the remaining funds can be returned to the community, either directly or indirectly.

The remaining 3,681 ETH represents the core interests of the community. The consensus unit has an obligation to recover these funds and report the progress to the community. However, to date, we have not seen any statement from the consensus unit on this matter, which has left the community perplexed.

Peter mentioned that the community proposal was rejected by the consensus unit.Is this true? What was the reason for the rejection? Many community members suspect that there are vested interests between the consensus unit and WHS. How do you respond to such rumors circulating within the community?

If you become a multisiger, how will you represent the community’s interests in recovering these funds? If there is a conflict with the community’s interests, would you sacrifice the community’s interests?

21

It’s always being my personal position that a stable and functional DAO is able to make a better case for an injection of funds, whether it be from WHS or any other entity or community. That is the only pathway I see to getting the DAO funded - Stable and functional will see it attract more members, more funds and continue on its mission.

does Satoshi Nakamoto need to be responsible for the price of $BTC?
does Vitalik need to be responsible for the price of $ETH?
does Elon Musk need to be responsible for the price of $DOGE?
does President Trump need to be responsible for the price of $TRUMP?

The founder’s “primary duty” is to build value, develop the ecosystem, manage risk, communicate transparently, govern the community, and realize the vision—not to maintain token price. Whether a project is ethical should depend on whether the team engages in fraud, evades responsibility, or betrays trust.

The community should evaluate the team’s behavior and professional competence during price declines, does the team’s actions were ethical ethics, sincere, responsible.

The crypto community’s mission is to survive, develop, and create value for participants. Obviously, The project failed to create value for the participants, and Assange’s supporters received no rewards.many participants feel emotionally betrayed and trapped in endless disputes. The community has long been in a position of exploitation and being drained, which is unjust. Assange’s supporters should be encouraged and rewarded.

Based on the initial fundraising valuation of $55m, the current market cap of $1m represents a 98% drop, As 35 mentioned the sharp price decline has seriously damaged Assange’s reputation; This K-line trend is generally only seen in projects within the crypto space that engage in scams, fraud, rug-pulls, or broken promises.within crypto circles, the Assange family’s standing has hit rock bottom—the inevitable consequence of lacking proper governance and community consensus.

As community governance takes root and various initiatives steadily advance in the future, we will gradually transform into a healthy, well-regulated project, the token price will return to reasonable levels, and the Assange family’s reputation in the crypto sphere will be restored and improved.

Actually I stated that the maxi bid strategy was denied a vote by the community. I presume the meeting where the multisigs took a vote on the maxi bid (ie from Amir’s meeting notes) was where and when that occured ie early Feb 2022.

I cannot locate the AIP bidding strategy document and read what was written or who proposed it by the way.

When Harry Halpin talked to Wau Holland there seemed to be a view expressed by Wau Holland that they were open to the idea of funding our projects. So we shouldn’t allow that to be forgotten. Its positive and it should be pursued. There are a number of projects that sound like they would be perfect and the DAO should maybe improve upon them and get Gabriel to faciltate. The DAO should do that next after the multi sig vote. It shouldn’t delay it as time maybe running out in Germany. But there is also the other project that sshould coincide and that would be setting up a legal entitty. But the DAO should probably act faster IMO.

I thought you were referring to the latest proposal, but it turns out you meant MaxID.
The final decision-maker for MaxID is Assange himself. The community can understand that he made choices harmful to the community while under extreme fear, yet we cannot accept that, long after regaining his freedom, he still keeps his distance from the community.

MaxID lacks procedural justice, and that is the root of every conflict. Whoever created the problem must now step forward and solve it.This incident shows that the consensus unit and the community can have fundamentally conflicting interests.

The community is now caught in a dilemma: on one hand we want the consensus unit to play a bigger role; on the other hand, Gabriel already holds a veto, and becoming a multi-siger would concentrate too much power, potentially harming the community in the future. There is no mechanism for the community to override that veto.

Perhaps Gabriel ’s joining the multi-sig could make it a more active participant, but are the two really equivalent?I heard Gabriel is running for multi-sig out of fear that too many signers might come from the same jurisdiction. If that is the case, Peter, could you join the multi-siger to resolve this concern? At present I remain neutral on Gabriel ’s candidacy. The lesson from MaxID is clear: once a process is flawed, bigger problems are inevitable.

I don’t understand the technical or the cryptic market, so no. I would never be the right fit. Ive followed Julian’s case for 15 years with almost too much interest for my own sake. KInd of an obsession.

For the last two months if you hadn’t noticed sudongpo, Id left.

I just want to see this place progress - and receive complete support. Its always required funding to run its operations. It just kills me that it received nothing and has gone through so many lows.

That’s not to say I agree with everything people here have said or done in the past either - buts its time to move forward - forgive. Truth telling helps. Lack of transparency does not. But its time to go forward with those really exciting projects.

Ive told a few Assange enthusiasts I know about them and they also believe they’re great. I think the general public would get really excited about them TBH. The ideas being generated are awesome, they really are.

27

Yes, I understand the emotional harm caused by over-involvement, as I too feel the same heartache and sense of powerlessness. during your absence, I strived to advance our governance, seeking the path of least resistance. even after countless arguments with others.
I feel that my own mental health has suffered as well. I believe the main culprit is the absence of the Assange family. Gabriel’s indifference toward Assange supporters—when he should be actively involved and clearly state his position on many issues—leaves us to charge ahead by ourselves. the Assange supporters are harmed. this is an abnormal, exploitative relationship with the supporters. this is not justice.

Only we ourselves truly know the difficulty of this process; every step forward is incredibly hard. Who can lend us a hand? The community is like a patient bleeding profusely, and also like a helpless infant held in an embrace.
