[ANN] Dogemusk: A New Generation of Meme Token That Exposes Centralized Cabals

[mutoshi_skamoto]

This is Mutoshi Skamoto, creator of Dogemusk (MUSK).

I created Dogemusk as a direct response to Dogelon, especially for the amount of nepotism it has shown regarding its expedited listings on centralized token tracking websites such as Etherscan, CoinMarketCap, and CoinGecko.

Dogelon was created last night (04/22/2021), and within 1-2 hours of its listing, the token has been listed on those major tracking websites, which is very unheard of for a new and anonymous project. Other projects have development teams working very hard days and nights, and then the listing application to these token tracking websites takes weeks to fulfill. However, what makes you, Dogelon, so special and so privileged and so connected that you get listed within 1-2 hours?

This in my perspective, is the utmost display of nepotism and exposes a ton of centralized deal-making behind the scenes in a decentralized crypto world we are trying to build.

We are supposed to win by merits, not by shaking hands in the back, yet this is what's happening with centralized token tracking platforms such as Etherscan, CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, they will favor a VC-backed project that they know or a project that's built by their friends or a project that's built by someone they want to suck up to for their own personal gains, at that process, many many fantastic projects with hardworking devs get their token listing applications ignored.

Is this a decentralized future we want to see? With 1-3 teams and each team with 3-5 people making decisions for thousands of projects and decide what is good (or more like what is convenient for their own advancement) and what is not? Especially when almost all projects early on only have one-page websites?

I started Dogemusk as a community-building experiment in direct response to Dogelon.

I do not have anyone to call, any VC to suck up to because as a software-oriented person who believes in fair opportunity and equal access, the presales and rounds of venture raising conducted by VCs directly go against building fundamental values for a company with equal access and opportunity for all. (Yes, some of you VCs who dumped 100-200x presale tokens on public token buyers with your ICO, IDO, pre-IDO, or whatever you call them).

I set the token supply to 1000 trillion, with 500 trillion sent to Vitalik Buterin. The other 500 trillion Dogemusk tokens were added to the Uniswap liquidity pool then sent the liquidity V2 tokens to burn address. I have no access to any of the tokens, and I have to get them in an open market on Uniswap like everyone else.

The future of DogeMusk is up to the community. We will not suck up to Etherscan, CoinMarketCap, and CoinGecko with their promotional packages and their ladder-climbing patronage and nepotism to get listed. We will thrive in decentralized exchanges.

We hope one day there will be a decentralized version of Etherscan, CoinMarketCap, and CoinGecko with no human team behind them and let the code track the liquidity pairs since day 1 with logo, description, and detailed information about a project uploaded directly and instantly by the token creators. (Uniswap that's something you guys can excel in)

I got into crypto, seeing the philosophical beauty of a peer-to-peer seamless world where decentralized ideas can flourish and around the world can have equal opportunities to build projects. However, in the past decade, I have witnessed some of the most audacious displays of centralized cabal back-door deal makings and maneuvers that may suffocate and kill creativity in the decentralized crypto world.

We can all do better for the decentralized future that we all hope to build. And I will contribute with my effort, start with Dogemusk.

We suck up to no one. We are truly decentralized, unruggable, and here to stay.

I will have a blog coming out soon on Hive or Medium, stay tuned.

Also please share this on twitter and if you want to build some cool products in Dogemusk ecosystem, also reply here or mention Dogemusk on twitter.

Thank you all, this is the last stand for the decentralized vision that initially attracted me to crypto.

And let us not forget that Binance, a centralized exchange, now owns CoinMarketCap, a market data aggregator...

This is the kind of aggregation and control in a decentralized space that will put the centralized equity market to shame.

And how ironically they hoped CoinMarketCap would continue to uphold "its core values of transparency, integrity, non-censorship, and accountability" while out there listing unproven projects like Dogelon within 1 hour of its creation... CoinMarketCap team, do you care to be a bit more transparent and share why you listed Dogelon that fast?

As Vitalik Buterin once said:

"Excessive and naïve reliance on any formalism intended to decentralize authority can inadvertently have the perverse effect of reestablishing monopolies and oligarchies. Only by making technical systems that offer a variety of mechanisms for checking concentrations of power and by simultaneously building social ideologies constantly on the lookout for failure modes of these mechanisms can we hope to succeed where previous attempts at decentralizing authority have failed."

While we see first-hand the ridiculous amount of concentrated power platforms such as CoinMarketCap, Etherscan, CoinGecko have and how that may choke many projects which do not belong to their cliques or cabals supported by the same group of VCs.

To embrace Vitalik's vision of radical decentralization, no one will own Dogemusk. Dogemusk will grow itself as an embodiment of the radical decentralized future that first attracted me to the crypto sphere.

If you want to help contribute to the Dogemusk ecosystem and build fun and meaningful applications with MUSK, send me a message or develop yourself.

And if you as centralized exchanges want to list MUSK, do as you wish and check our bulletproof code and simply add MUSK to your exchanges. We will not play your pay-per-play sponsorship game as I know too many ins and outs of this circus show.

If we do not embrace radical decentralization, we will soon become the Draculas and Goliaths we are trying to slay when we first embarked on this crypto journey.

Mr. Skamoto

  First and for most I would like to thank you for what you have started this was very much needed. Please let me know whatever we can do to help make awareness at the moment I am organizing the TG chat and keeping people informed would you please list the correct Telegram group in your blogs the one you have listed is not working.

Also would you be open to a AMA in the group chat so people can understand what your vision and what we are starting Please reach out to me anytime!

will you be making a website for us?

*bump*

A community AMA in the group tg would be awesome. Several of us are trying to build the community and would appreciate it if you dropped into the chat.

Hi Mr. Mutoshi,  

thank you for your revolutionary approach.  

I´ll assits to make this vision a reality and spread the word. I have added Musk to my portfolio. I hope many will start to follow and we can truly make a difference.
There is a Musk Army waiting in the tg to drive this project forward. Pls get in touch !
I will mark this day.
Respect !

Most people even in this https://t.me/officialdogemusk channel don't understand what motivated Mutoshi Skamoto to take this desperate step. He added his money and burned it.
Follow me on Twitter, retweet them, in the coming days I will tell you what the matrix looks like and what we all agreed on.

Thank you who commented here for the overwhelming support. It truly means a lot to me. What started as a seed to build a radically decentralized community is gradually taking on its rudimentary shape and thriving.

Several things I hope to touch upon:

(1) The intent and priority are in the dissemination of ideas and the message about how the current crypto decentralized movement is apparently hijacked and filled with VC-backed nepotism and the centralized elites pulling strings through centralized token listing websites and exchanges. If anyone of us digs into the early days of this forum and read Satoshi's posts, we will see how far we have pivoted from the early vision of decentralization set out by the man and quickly becoming another centralized cesspool with pump & dumps, Ponzi schemes, and backdoor dealing making that will as I said before, put traditional equity market to shame. As for the token price, that's not much of a concern for me, and I hope the same for the community. Dogemusk will grow with us here, sharing the idea and message that decentralization Web 3.0 should be about true decentralization with code and software run themselves as protocols, not with a centralized human team manually updating and adding token information and decide the fate of thousands of projects.

(2) To fully embrace the radical decentralization, I will give away the token deployment wallet's private key to a member (a group of members) from the community selected by you guys in the Telegram group. The directions you selectively take will be solely up to the community decision. I wish you can think for the long-term common good for the community and our ideology to embrace full decentralization and build applications with that in mind. I will contribute whenever you need me.

(3) I personally think a website is not necessary with a centralized server. Most of the one-pager websites are boring anyways. Having dialogues here, in the original fertilizing ground of the decentralization movement, and sharing the ideas on Twitter and other social media channels as a community with many voices will be more proper and true to the sense of decentralization.

The journey just got started, and I think we are onto an experiment that's true to the cause since bitcoin's inception in 2009. This time, we, as the Dogemusk community, will hopefully raise some key questions and lead the way to reclaim the decentralized future that we all hold dearly and usher decentralization to a more healthy space away from the danger of being devoured by the centralized few.

Token value generation should not be based on temporary whales and news pump but based on continuous sharing and growth of a community with a solid philosophical backbone, along with decentralized, well-executed applications as its armor.

Thank you for your response, Would you please reach out to me through DM here or on Telegram @BitCrome so we can stay in further contact with each other.
Would love your assistance and to pick you brain a little more so we can stay on track. Could you help with writing a bio for Dogemusk $MUSK as we build the
community around that and for new members of the crypto space understand.

Thanks

If you're watching and reading this, you're on the right way.
On the road to truth.
Truth to an honest and transparent blockchain.
You feel something, you suspect something, you even guess that something is wrong, but you cannot explain it to yourself. Explain that there is a whole industry that makes money from ordinary enthusiasts who want to make this world a better place.
You're trying to buy something faster than others like you, but you don't realize that you've already lost in this fight. You will be allowed to be first once or twice, but only to keep you going while you still have something. In the end you will walk away with nothing.
There's a lot going on on the other side of how to make money on you. These people are communicating with each other, making arrangements with each other. Everyone is involved there, relatives, friends, investment funds, Influencers, CEX, CMC, CG. You can't list them all.
What happened between Dogelon&CMC already happened many times, it is a proven scheme. But this time the scales were overflowing, it was the last straw for @SatoshiMycomoto. He created #Dogemusk to draw our attention, to wake us up.
I'm not suggesting you buy anything.
I am offering you a choice.

God, I can't believe my eyes. I just read my thoughts in this text.
I will continue to uncover the mysteries in Twitter that have been revealed to me with experience.
Thank you!
