Gurhan Kiziloz kISS MY Ass


Listen Later

Alright everyone, buckle the hell up because apparently in today’s crypto world, words like “presale ended” are the equivalent of a polite suggestion written on a bathroom stall, not a real thing.

BlockDAG proudly announces the presale is over — over, finished, done — like it’s wrapping up a Netflix series. And then… surprise! They’re still selling shit. Still pumping priority tiers. Still charging people for early access like it’s a fucking carnival ride. It’s like someone taught them how to sell tickets to a concert that never fucking starts.

And get this: the name that keeps popping up around all this circus isn’t just some random guy. It’s Gurhan Kiziloz. That’s right — the dude people online are literally questioning if he’s secretly pulling strings behind the scenes, while a puppet CEO is out there doing the face-time dance. 

I mean, this is peak crypto comedy, right? It’s almost funny… if it wasn’t pissing off thousands of actual investors who are now sitting there going, “Wait, what part of ‘ended’ means we pay even more money for less?” People online are flat-out saying this presale is the definition of hype over delivery, that marketing is moving faster than any actual tech rollout, and that deadlines have been pushed more times than a lazy project sprint. 

Let’s break this down for the people tuning in like they’re watching a sitcom:

Presale “ended”? Nah, that’s just a warm-up.
 Priority bundles? Oh yeah — pay more, get your tokens earlier.
 No mainnet? No exchange listings? Still working on testnets? Yup.
 And somehow we’re supposed to trust the next announcement like it’s gospel. It’s like being told the bus will arrive soon… every day… for two years… while the bus driver keeps selling tickets to new passengers.

Meanwhile, Gurhan’s name gets whispered in Reddit threads like he’s some kind of shadow wizard conjuring hype and funnels of promotional bullshit. People are literally talking about the marketing machine behind this — heavy, aggressive, opaque, and basically pushing “last chance buys” while actual dev progress is still in the bathroom stall somewhere waiting for a flush. 

And don’t even get me started on the community vibes. Folks are out there saying BlockDAG’s presale went on way longer than it should’ve, supply data and fundraising numbers don’t line up the way they were advertised, and far too many announcements read like they were written by someone with a marketing diploma and zero clue about timelines. People literally joke that the presale is like a never-ending story that forgot how to end. 

So listen here, Gurhan — if you’re actually out there listening to this through whatever fancy voice modulator or paid influencer you’ve fed this week — here’s a message with a little spice: you can kiss my ass. Yeah, I said it. Kiss my ass. Because telling people the presale is done while you keep selling them VIP access like it’s some bullshit theme park ride isn’t bold, it’s insulting. And it’s insulting to anyone with a pair of eyes and half a brain.

You don’t get to say something is over, then pull out a “final private round” as if we’re all fucking Gold Members in some pyramid scheme where the merch table never shuts down. This is the kind of shit that makes the rest of us who actually try to do honest stuff in the crypto world want to scream into a pillow.

So enjoy your VIP tiers. Enjoy your press drops. Enjoy your vague “major exchange launch” tweets with no exchange names attached. And enjoy the fact that every time you hype another “this is finally it” moment, people are out there cracking jokes saying the presale is a meme, the announcements are a joke, and the whole thing feels like one big crypto carnival scam show. That’s the vibe you’ve earned.

Because here’s the truth: if you want people to take something seriously, don’t hype
