The expectation of SBF's pardon from the FTX founder has finally fallen short. The U.S. President explicitly stated in an interview with the media that he would not consider granting a pardon, which essentially dashed the hopes of this once crypto industry star making a comeback. From the FTX collapse to the current judicial ruling, the entire event has been ongoing, and market focus is gradually shifting.

Meanwhile, the L2 ecosystem has seen significant developments. The Optimism Foundation is pushing forward with an important proposal—planning to allocate 50% of the revenue generated from the Superchain to buy back OP tokens. If this governance proposal is ultimately approved by the community, it will directly enhance OP's value capture capability. This not only signifies a protocol-level mechanism to support token value but also reflects Optimism's strategic adjustment to its economic model. From a certain perspective, this is a key upgrade in the L2 track's exploration of sustainable development—by involving token holders in the distribution of ecosystem growth benefits, creating a closer alignment of interests.

SBF this matter is finally over, I really never would have thought... By the way, OP's 50% buyback this time feels like they're seriously working on an economic model, unlike some projects that just talk but don't act --- Poor SBF, he bet wrong... Meanwhile, OP is actually getting things done, and their buyback mechanism seems to have some substance --- SBF is out of the game, but I actually quite like OP's approach. Finally, a project dares to share profits with holders --- Wait, is Optimism really going to use 50% of its revenue for buybacks? It has to go through community voting to be valid, or it might just be big talk with no action --- SBF falling from the pedestal so quickly... By the way, is OP trying to imitate Uniswap with this buyback move? It seems like L2 is finally starting to consider sustainability

Now SBF is really going to jail. All those pardon rumors were just fantasies. OP's buyback logic this time is decent, but I'm just worried it might be another empty promise. It depends on how the community votes. SBF is done, but L2 is moving. That's how the crypto world is—today's villain is forgotten tomorrow. If this Optimism proposal really passes, OP can be more stable. Anyway, I'm still holding. Poor SBF, once so glamorous, now so embarrassed. Crypto is just that real.

sbf's done, not coming back. honestly the pardon thing was copium anyway... but yo, that op buyback proposal though? 50% revenue share actually makes sense if it holds. gotta watch the health factor on these l2 treasuries tho, remember 2022 when everyone thought tokenomics would save em

Haha, SBF really has no hope left. What is he thinking? OP's buyback logic this time is actually pretty good; token holders can finally get some benefits. Amnesty? That's hilarious. This guy is truly finished. At least with this set of Optimism, it shows that L2s are starting to take tokenomics seriously. SBF should have been dealt with long ago; it's really too late for those still holding out hope now. OP buyback 50% of revenue? Now that's confidence in the token. Another "elite" persona collapsing; the crypto space owes us many lessons. L2 competition is fierce, and Optimism's approach is quite clever. If SBF is done, then so be it. Let's stop discussing this person. Using superchain revenue for buybacks, OP holders are probably the real winners this time. No matter how tough the persona, it can't escape the law. SBF is a textbook example of a cautionary tale. The buyback mechanism sounds good, but it depends on whether the community can truly support it. Oh my god, SBF is really going to jail. Such twists and turns. These moves in the L2 track are becoming harder to understand, but the direction seems right. Amnesty is hopeless, leading to social death; it's too late to regret now.

SBF is really out of options this time. It was about time; everyone else is seriously building the ecosystem, and he's still dreaming of a pardon to turn things around. Too naive. I like this buyback logic from OP. Directly distributing income to token holders is much better than those who just keep making empty promises. Pardon? Haha, dream on. This is just an explanation to the entire industry. Optimism's move is pretty good. Finally, some projects understand how to give back to the community. SBF is definitely done for. Not only him, but also those who were bought off need to reflect. If OP keeps playing like this, L2 really has hope. Unlike some chains that are still just hyping. No hope for a comeback, and it's well-deserved. Scamming billions and still expecting a pardon—ridiculous. Protocol-level buybacks—that's real value capture, not empty promises. SBF's story should come to an end. The market needs to look forward.

SBF is truly hopeless this time; I should have given up earlier. --- OP's buyback mechanism is indeed effective; finally, there’s a project willing to share profits with token holders. --- From FTX to now, they’re still hesitating, but can OP’s recent moves really boost the price? --- The pardon fell through, which is not surprising; this is the US attitude. --- Layer 2 is heating up; will OP become the next narrative point? --- Finally, I don’t have to see SBF news every day; it’s so annoying. --- Buyback 50% of revenue? If that really happens, OP’s price should double... --- The crypto circle loves stories of self-redemption, but unfortunately, SBF isn’t that lucky. --- Is OP’s move a disguised way of cutting profits or a genuine positive signal? I’m a bit confused. --- The FTX incident should be taken as a negative example; it’s quite convincing.

SBF this matter should have been settled a long time ago, honestly it's no longer a hot topic. However, OP's recent move is quite interesting; a 50% buyback can indeed attract token holders, but can it really succeed? --- Another crypto myth shattered, but it seems like not many people are paying attention anymore. --- I don't quite understand OP's logic here. Can a buyback truly support the token's value? Or is it just another way to cut the leeks? --- SBF is gone, so be it. The key is how the Optimism team on the L2 side plays their move. I only care if OP can rise. --- Basically, it's about using buybacks to trap more people. Now even L2 projects are starting to play this game.

SBF this matter should have been settled a long time ago, a pardon? Dream on, that guy has to pay the price for his choices. OP's buyback mechanism this time is pretty good, with 50% of revenue flowing back, which can indeed give token holders some solid expectations. Honestly, the FTX pit was too deep, who still dares to touch it now... but L2 is indeed making moves, better than doing nothing at all. I just want to know when the community will vote on the OP proposal, don’t let it get shelved again. Pardon? Pfft, why give him that chance, let him reflect on his actions properly.
