Hey BCT,
Wasn't sure where to post this - hopefully it fits in well here...
During the crypto rally leading up to Jan 2018 I built
https://www.topofthecoins.com.
My intention was to learn about crypto and get an idea of how this shiny new (to me) tech worked.
I fired up a new Laravel PHP project and also invested £400 in #XRP and #XLM.
At the time the site brought in $31.50 (0.02793) of #Ethereum (around 10 sales) after a couple of days of very tame marketing, which is now worth £66.93.
The £400 of #XRP and #XML (which I bought pretty much at the peak) is now worth £369 (still HODLing!).
I pretty much broke even, plus learned some valuable new skills.
With the recent crypto hype-train building back up, I thought it’d be good to do a relaunch whilst improving the site. Plus, I've been wanting to learn a few things for a while like:
- TailwindCSS.com - front end dev framework
- Coinbase’s new Commerce APIs called Coinbase Commerce
- Learn more Laravel framework and deployments with Forge
So on the weekend just gone, I rebuilt the site with some new features & a shiny new design.
The new TopOfTheCoins.com lets you post a message using 6 different cryptocurrencies thanks to Coinbase Commerce: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BitcoinCash, Litecoin, Dai and USDC.
There's now also a top message spot for each of those currencies, instead of just one top spot (that's still there though!)
It's just a fun pet project, but I really think that there’s a chance that the site can go viral and become the “Million dollar homepage” of the crypto era.
I genuinely think there will be some utility of this if I can attract a big enough captive audience.
I’d love to know what you all think:
https://www.topofthecoins.comWould love to know what might make this in any way useful to the BCT community... or if this is just a shitpost and not useful at all!?
Cheers!
