After helping Yearn.finance to $1b, Blue Kirby called it quits. But now he's back

As crazy as it may sound, one of the most talked-about figures in the Ethereum and DeFi space over recent weeks has been a pseudonymous user called "Blue Kirby."

After creating his account in July, Blue Kirby, under the guise of a blue version of the Nintendo character Kirby, built up a massive following on Twitter by providing users insights into Yearn.

First widely loved, Blue Kirby popularized memes in the DeFi community such as "Yearning Man," "1 YFI = 1 BTC," and "YFI to $100k." These memes helped to drive YFI to a $1 billion market capitalization just over a month after its launch.

Blue Kirby has quickly fallen out of favor with much of the DeFi community after a series of unfortunate events.

Blue Kirby began to change in late September and early October.

"As of now I am officially out of everything YFI and yearn related. I left all of the TG channels. It's possible I pull a Steve Jobs and return in 12 years. In crypto time that's like a week from now But for now, I'm out. Gonna do blue stuff now."

Blue Kirby proceeded to follow his own dreams and launch Off Blue, a non-fungible token and decentralized art project that was going to have its own coin.

Others began to "Dox" Blue Kirby, finding personal information about him and sharing it online as a way to seemingly threaten him.

Rarible, a decentralized art marketplace where Off Blue art was being auctioned, shut down the project's account over fears that it was being used to tacitly ICO. Blue Kirby tried to make things right by allowing users who participated in the purchase of Off Blue art to get a refund.

Having returned, Blue Kirby says he wants to tell the full story from his side of the aisle.
