Something is happening. This isn't something new - it started a few days ago. There was a slightly different feeling in the air, like something might be happening, but we weren't entirely sure. Now we're positive. Now we know. The whale's lifting the tide and taking us all with him! Lots of questions remain though: Is this the real deal? How far will we go? Is this whale friend or foe?

We were in awe while being lifted into the atmosphere, but there was still further to go. The 0.01 ratio was in sight and the stage was set. Our newfound whale friend turned and looked at us. "Hop on", he said. No other words were needed, we knew what time it was. He pulled a precision buy and into the stratosphere we went. This. Is. Ecstasy.

On this momentous day we learn the new whale that's been buying RPL is thomasg. He leaps from superphiz's Twitter straight into #trading and The Gang™ helps him feel right at home. We share "the dybsy video" and have a laugh. It's strange - to have a connection with this person we've never met before, to feel so familiar yet we know nothing about him, to have so much control over us and didn't even know he existed before this day. Is this what it feels like to be in the presence of a whale?

Tis was the 23rd evening of July. #trading was stirring and ideas were brewing. A dash of creativity and a pinch of opportunity. The 3 Wise Owls created CryptoHoots and offered everyone a way to escape their daily misery called work. Here's the origin of CryptoHoots: https://discord.com/channels/405159462932971535/405163713063288832/868305298128007219

Right when we thought launch was nigh, it was ripped from us by a white-hat guy. How long will it be? We shall see, per diem. When will our time come? Soon™.

On October 3rd, 2021 Langers from the Rocket Pool team published the full audit results (https://discordapp.com/channels/405159462932971535/405163979141545995/894372662795731003). With less than 48 hours before the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet launch, there is nothing left to do. This is the clam before the storm. All systems nominal - we are go for launch. To celebrate this moment in time, the official "calm before the storm" POAP was distributed and the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet Poster NFT was officially revealed.

With the impending mainnet launch for Rocket Pool, the EthStaker crew is hosting a livestream with members of the Rocket Pool team. The EthStaker crew will be posing question to the Rocket Pool team to showcase why their platform is a great option for solicit as a Staking Pool provider. During the livestream POAP 5 of 8 will be distributed, as we lead up to the October 6th Mainnet launch. Full details can be found here: https://ethstaker.cc/rocket-pool-pre-launch-systems-check/
