Hello all,
I would like to take a little bit of time and introduce myself and explain to the BitcoinTalk community what my goals and aspirations are in working with Whitecoin.
I have been trading and investing in crypto currencies since 2012, many of you may know me from btc-e. Upon first entering the crypto-scene, I was relatively new to online communities and quite frankly a bit skeptical of their existence. I saw a lot of trolling, a lot of name calling, manipulation and downright immoral activity occurring within the crypto-space. But after some time, I also began to see the power these online communities hold and the amazing achievements that can be accomplished by complete strangers, many times communicating from different sides of the world in order to accomplish a common goal.
We have seen some amazing things happen in the crypto-currency space since the inception of Bitcoin. Technological advancements, new job-creation, philanthropic efforts, and even communities rallying together to sponsor a professional NASCAR driver such as in the Dogecoin community. It is these achievements that have inspired me and led me to truly believe in the future of alt-coins and crypto-currencies.
Although I have not been actively participating in BitcoinTalk discussions since first joining, I have been studying the space closely and looking for that perfect coin that would shine as the leader of the altcoin world. I saw all of the right qualities in Whitecoin. Sure, Whitecoin has had an extremely rocky start. The 51% attack, the pre-mine dump by the original developers, the frozen exchange wallets and countless pages of FUD on the forums. But that is all behind us now and the team and community that rose from the ashes has been nothing short of inspiring. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and this is especially true in regards to Whitecoin. Mogonzo has proven to be an amazing leader and the community that has rallied behind him have proven that they have what it takes to bring Whitecoin into the limelight and become a leader of the alt-coin world.
There are many moving parts involved in creating a successful coin. I myself have talents in graphic design/marketing/PR and advertising. These are the main points I will be concentrating my efforts on with Whitecoin. We have assembled an all-star group of individuals to launch Whitecoin into its new future but there are also many other positions that need to be filled on team Whitecoin. Mogonzo has created a ToDo list draft and I would like to encourage everyone from the BitcoinTalk community to take the time to read through this draft and see if there is anything on the list that you can contribute your own talents towards.
A lot of our discussions about future development and planning happens on the #whitecoinfoundation IRC. The IRC has proven to be a very effective tool in organizing our thoughts without a lot of the noise that can sometimes occur on the BitcoinTalk Forum. Feel free to stop by and contribute your thoughts and ideas. It would also be great to see more active discussion on this BitcoinTalk thread about anything you feel would improve our coin or anything that you can do to help our team.
The price is low and we have exciting times ahead of us, so take advantage of those cheap coins and may Whitecoin go to the
Mooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-moooon!
Best Regards,
