NFT project Jirasan is moving to reset its operations according to Founder and CEO Shan.

In a post published on Twitter/X, Shan acknowledged the project’s growing pains and outlined a clearer, more focused roadmap after what he described as an “overly ambitious” attempt to scale with limited resources.

The founder has committed to restructuring the team, reassessing leadership roles—including his own—and narrowing the project’s focus to deliver real revenue-backed growth.

What is Jirasan?

Jirasan is a collection of 10,000 NFTs that serve as membership passes to the PG Group and the broader Redacted ecosystem.

NFT holders receive various ecosystem benefits, most notably future airdrops of the native $RDAC token—which functions as the core utility and transactional asset of the Redacted platform.

Jirasan is part of a wider ecosystem aiming to build long-term web3 infrastructure and products.

What was the controversy about?

The controversy stemmed from growing dissatisfaction within the community over delays, unclear communications, and what some perceived as mismanagement and “slow-rugging.”

According to Shan, the team had only six full-time staff and relied heavily on short-term contractors, whilst simultaneously attempting to incubate and manage over 14 different products. This approach, the founder admitted, was “overly ambitious” and led to inefficiencies and underperformance across several fronts.

The founder also addressed rumours that the team had been dumping tokens or acting in bad faith. He denied these claims and stressed that the only funds used for $RDAC buybacks came from external revenue and not from the project treasury. He added that last week alone, 0.5% of the $RDAC supply had been bought and burned using these earnings.

What’s next for the project?

Founder and CEO Shan had announced several changes to restore confidence and improve execution, and a major overhaul is now underway.

  • A restructuring of management, development, and marketing teams
  • The establishment of dedicated web2 and web3 marketing divisions
  • A renewed, focused roadmap with the goal of reaching a $100M market cap by 2026
  • Reassessment of leadership roles

“We’ve stopped trying to do everything at once and are back to being sharp and intentional,” he wrote, adding that only high-accountability team members would remain moving forward.

State of Florida withdraws Bitcoin reserve bills amid growing countrywide setbacks https://earlybirdsinvest.com/state-of-florida-withdraws-bitcoin-reserve-bills-amid-growing-countrywide-setbacks/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/state-of-florida-withdraws-bitcoin-reserve-bills-amid-growing-countrywide-setbacks/#respond Tue, 06 May 2025 11:49:02 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/state-of-florida-withdraws-bitcoin-reserve-bills-amid-growing-countrywide-setbacks/

Florida has officially stepped back from the growing movement among US states to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).

According to the Florida Senate’s website, lawmakers have indefinitely postponed and withdrawn two critical pieces of legislation, House Bill 487 and Senate Bill 550, to enable public investment in Bitcoin.

Despite bipartisan support, particularly for HB 487 at the committee stage, the bills stalled early in the legislative process. Data from Bitcoin Laws confirms that neither bill advanced beyond the first committee hearing.

Meanwhile, Samuel Armes, founder of the Florida Blockchain Business Association, suggested the conversation isn’t over. He noted that while the bills appear stalled, there are still ways to reintroduce the language through budget negotiations currently underway.

He said:

“To the person in the outside, the bills seem dead but to those on the inside, we have another month to keep pushing.”

Is Bitcoin’s reserve bill momentum slowing?

Florida’s retreat follows Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs’ high-profile veto of a similar proposal.

Hobbs cited the absence of reliable historical data on Bitcoin’s performance as the reason for rejecting what was then the most advanced SBR bill in the nation.

The retreat in Florida now adds to a broader slowdown across the country. So far, at least eight states, including Arizona, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wyoming, have paused or abandoned similar initiatives.

Nationwide, the number of states actively considering SBR-related legislation has dropped to 19, with 36 bills still under discussion. These proposals aim to reshape how states manage long-term reserves by including decentralized digital assets like Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, efforts for the initiative continue at the federal level. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing the development of a national Bitcoin reserve.

However, some industry experts remain skeptical of the plan. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes argued the US is unlikely to expand its holdings due to fiscal concerns and lingering biases against Bitcoin culture.
