ZachXBT Alleges BlockDAG’s ’Value Era’ Narrative Masks Co-Founder Controversy
Crypto investigator ZachXBT has exposed BlockDAG's purported 'Value Era' launch as a smokescreen for deeper issues. The project's real co-founder is allegedly Gurhan Kiziloz, previously accused of diverting millions in presale funds through Middle Eastern OTC channels. Public CEO Antony Turner appears to be a frontman, according to on-chain evidence.
BlockDAG's October 30 'Value Era' announcement—following claimed 'Power' and 'Dominance' eras—was met with skepticism. Critics point to persistent 'last chance to buy' marketing tactics and underwhelming on-chain transaction volumes. The revelation casts doubt on the project's legitimacy during a sensitive market period for emerging layer-1 solutions.
