Missing neatly a month...my thoughts

After everything I have heard and read. I think she was killed there and the building knew. Strange that Jim Wayne said the mgmt was cooperative but various media reports said they were not. They likely did everything to cover their tracks. A murder in a place where people live ($$$$) is very bad for business (obviously). I know the upper floors are where the big money lives. I emailed an acquaintance from Playboy Mansion days to ask if she was ever there.. She used to date a Laker and knows what's hopping around town.. She said she knew three ballers that she has hung out with and some tech multi millionaires (she said one guy had a private masseuse at one of the parties) at that building. She said she had been there several times after Laker games. She thought the places were nice but not as nice as properties on Wilshire (she is kind of bougie).. I am.not going to say who she told me these people are because I don't want any repercussions. Also, I can't prove this personally but she is a nurse (like me) and I've known her for years. She is a good person and don't know her to lie. She's the type to be dialed into what events, parties, etc...are going on around town.Very LA hot blonde party type. Ive been here for years so, nothing new. I don't do drugs and rarely drink more than a few sips at a party. I am a fitness nutter! We don't hang out. anymore because she does party HARD. I think Heidi was very entwined with the boss. Multiple LLc's etc.. I do think she was likely doing some illicit things to support that $$ lifestyle. The main thing that sticks out for me is the money aspect. She is living large on a dime (so to speak). 125k plus 1500.00 possible bonus monthly. This does not equate to what she NEEDS to live her life in a 1.8 million dollar property, drive luxury, send kid to 60k school (split with the ex). I decided that although her ex is sketch in actions and words, he would not likely want to flip an extra 30k per year (her portion) for schooling. Reportedly they split on costs for the child. This makes it hard for me to believe he would off her. He seems frugal from what is public knowledge about him and court documents etc..I don't fully discount him but unlikely. I think someone outside the people we know, 'did her dirty.' She had a bitcoin LLC and there are reportedly some tech people in that building. I think we will find out some answers sooner than later (my guess).

$HLTH $HLTH.V Weekly Candle Chart - Major Breakout of Bullish Pennant Pattern on Huge Volume - In Depth Due Diligence Report + Chart below :) Crypto mining play!

$HLTH - has the same team and playbook as DEFI (formerly RM), and will use the same promo mechanisms as ACDC MOVE SHRM AMMP, which all ran 5-10X+ with sizeable floats, most being over 300M.. The founder of DEFI and Co-Founder of ASIC Power (Wouter Witvoet) and HIVE (Olivier Francois Newton) own a combined 68m+, approx 22% of the 338m non fully diluted float. This does not include any shares they may have purchased on the open market. They are leading the way here and current CEO Alex Somjin is moving to ORIG (origin therapeutics) soon.

Name change, Change of Business, transition to single purpose entity, and uplisting to NEO exchange expected within 30-60 days as stated by CEO at the AGM on October 15th.

From recent NR - "Following a thorough evaluation of the Company’s existing resources and a review of its strategic options, the Company has made the decision to refocus its business operations to the area of cryptocurrency from its current business as an investment issuer (the “Change of Business”) and will focus primarily on operating the business of companies operating in such business."

Global Care Capital ($HLTH) owns 10 assets, but they are selling off 7 and keeping the 3 assets related to Crypto/Blockchain:

1- CCM Technologies Inc.- ACTIVE

2- ASIC Power Company - ACTIVE

3- Metaverse Capital Corp. - DORMANT

Wouter Witvoet, Co-Founder of DeFi technologies, SecFi and ASIC Power, took 8M shares, INSTEAD OF CASH, at 7.5c for a $500k loan agreement with CCM Technologies - https://webfiles.thecse.com/Global_Care_-_CSE_Form_9_-_Notice_of_Issuance_of_Securities_-_conversio.pdf?djSOq90JJQ.Yt2Rulk0mTeu9mMMrEJtz=

You can get shares for cheaper than he did right now.. To add to this, serious players got shares at 11c: https://webfiles.thecse.com/Global_Care_-_signed_amended_CSE_Form_9_-_Notice_of_Issuance_of_Securiti.pdf

Wouter Witvoet was also issued 7,925,250 shares at $0.11.

Daniel Novak, Co-founder of ASIC Power and SP at Schindler, was issued 1,500,001 shares at $0.11

Oliver Francois Roussy Newton, Founder of HIVE & DEFI technologies and advisor at the worlds largest crypto mining company, was issued 7,925,250 shares at a deemed value of $0.11 - https://cdn-ceo-ca.s3.amazonaws.com/1ghuf0u-oliver%20newton.PNG

Stan Bharti, Founder and Executive Chairman of Forbes & Manhattan Inc., was issued 5,000,000 shares at a deemed value of $0.11 - https://cdn-ceo-ca.s3.amazonaws.com/1ghuetj-stan%20bharti

Julian Bharti (son of Stan Bharti), was issued 8,850,500 shares at a deemed value of $0.11 - https://cdn-ceo-ca.s3.amazonaws.com/1ghueui-julian%20bharti.PNG

Let's take a closer look at ASIC Power Corp.'s business model:

Put simply, the company offers streaming contracts to miner/mining farms that finance new acquisitions of ASIC miner equipment.

As part of the financing, ASIC Power Corp. will receive a contractually agreed percentage share of mined crypto currencies such as .B Bitcoin. Typically, the royalty streaming contracts are designed in such a way that the risk is reduced downwards in the event of price declines, but participation in price increases is given.

Depending on the company's strategy, ASIC Power can sell the cryptocurrencies generated in this way directly in the market and refinance new streaming contracts with the revenues. Or the company keeps the Bitcoins in the investment portfolio and can benefit from future price en-times to the maximum within the framework of a HODL strategy.

Experience has shown that the streaming & royalty business is very profitable: returns between 10-30% are the rule rather than the exception. And that with short repayment periods of 2 to 4 years. So far, crypto miners have often had a financing problem, as traditional banks usually do not finance mining equipment for business policy reasons.

This listed company is now becoming one of the few financing providers. And you as a shareholder can benefit from the expected dynamic growth.

ASIC Power Corporation is led by a first-class management with the best network contacts to venture capital backers and Silicon Valley! For example, one of the co-founders of ASIC Power is Wouter Witvoet (co-founder of DeFi Technologies). The management also includes Olivier Roussy Newton (ex founder of HIVE Blockchain)!

Close contacts to manufacturers of mining equipment (ASIC Miners) pay off at face value! ASIC Power Corp. was even able to buy the 208 crypto miners from the first contract about 70% cheaper than usual on the market!

Thus, ASIC Power will continue to be a first port of call for new projects or crypto farm expansions, which will of course have a very positive effect on future earnings growth.

Explosive side note: At the end of May 2021, China announced stricter regulation of crypto mining companies with a possible ban on business activities. We expect the majority of the devices to be used in North America and Scandinavia. Thus, the demand for innovative financing, such as that offered by ASIC Power, is likely to increase enormously.

CCM Technologies - is a cryptocurrency mining company with state-of-the-art ASIC chips. CCM will be hosting the miners with Compute North, an industry leader in digital infrastructure and blockchain hosting services in the United States.

CCM acquisition terms - In consideration for the Transaction, and on closing thereof, Global Care issued an aggregate of 94,170,001 common shares of Global Care (the “Consideration Shares”) to CCM shareholders at a deemed price of $0.11 per Consideration Share and issued to CCM warrantholders an aggregate of 65,000,000 common share purchase warrants (the “Consideration Warrants”)

CCM Bitmain miners/hash rate - "The 975 miners are composed of 195 Whatsminer M30S and 780 latest generation Antminer S19J Pro. The miners produce either 93 or 105 TH/s (Terahash per second) dependent on the model, adding a total of 100 PH/s (Petahash per second) to the Company’s hash rate with customized software." https://www.globenewswire.com/fr/news-release/2021/06/03/2240955/0/en/Global-Care-Capital-Announces-Closing-of-Acquisition-of-CCM-Technologies-Inc.html

CCM equipment installation timeline via Global Care - "Installation of the S19J Pro is anticipated to begin in August in increments of 65 units per month until Q2 2022. The 195 Whatsminer M30S are anticipated to be installed in October 2021."

CCM deposits on mining equipment - On April 20, 2021, the Company, through its subsidiary, entered into an agreement with Compute North for computer equipment (bitmain miners) totaling US$6,959,755 ($8,715,701). Of the total required deposit payments to date, US$3,012,818 has been paid, and the balance of US$3,946,937 is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company is committed to paying US$108,362 over the next eleven months.

CCM CEO - Lawrence Cofield is a veteran of the IT industry. Last year he concluded a 2-year contract with TAAL as a Global Account Manager, overseeing 280,000 ASIC miners, and managing several projects worth a combined $80M CAD. TAAL is a blockchain infrastructure company focused on BitcoinSV. Craig Wright sits on the advisory board.

CCM website/socials - https://www.ccm-technologies.com/ https://twitter.com/ccmtechnologies?lang=en

Additional key info: - New website for $HLTH is http://ASICPower.com which is a major hint of new name + ticker being $ASIC, which is extremely promotable.

- Olivier Newton is also an advisor for the world's largest crypto miner: Genesis Mining

- ASIC Power's agreement with Valour Mining Inc ( DEFI subsidiary with $370M+ USD in AUM in first 10 months) offers miner-focused financial services. Valour gives ASIC access to its innovative cryptocurrency mining royalty smart contracts and proprietary chip hardware.

- CCM website permanently removed 2 weeks ago, which also proves we are close, as it was evidently setup to give desired share ownership/control of the float to those names, a front so-to-speak. Which it being removed suggesting the company are entering the next stage of the plan; The big reveal.

#roadto50: LET’S MAKE SOME NOISE

Overview 

  1. Requestor: u/BalthasarBecker
  2. Amount requested: 5,000 DFI
  3. Receiving Address: df1qltwh5qttrv0qhydq6ylne8xr8ec9ml2sfqymk9
  4. Reddit:
  5. Proposal fee: 42361fe247280e72c4d8bfb090ed9234b3bcdafe0e2cf836603bca3a42fc0af9

#roadto50 is an exciting movement that every passionate DFI FAN wishes to become a reality, whereas IN REALITY it will require an enormous amount of effort from the COMMUNITY to make this dream of every #DFIHOODLER a reality. This CFP #roadto50 intends to create virality from this movement on social media by activating DeFiChain’s most valuable asset –– its COMMUNITY !!

In order to achieve that, we plan to organise a DFI social media competitions, providing financial incentives for the community to become more active on Twitter and Instagram. Every true #DFIHOODLER can participate and WIN big: We want to pay out in TOTAL 5,000 DFI in five consecutive competitions over the next five months. In each competition a total of 1000 DFI will be paid out. For participation you can win $50 for the most engaging written posts, $100 for the most engaging pictures/ graphics/ graphs and $150 for the most engaging videos/ animation content.

The first competition will start on the  01.12.2021, celebrating the launch of stock token trading on DeFiChain and will end on the 21st of December. The winners will be announced on the 24th of December. The above mentioned DFI amounts will be paid out shortly after the winners have been announced. As a result, a total of 5,000 DFI will be paid out to the community over the next five moths. The first pay out of 1000 DFI will occur on Christmas. The higher the DFI price the more people will enjoy an even sweeter Christmas receiving $50, $100 or $150. Note that if we manage to get DFI to $50 in total an astonishing $250,000 will be paid out to the community and up to 5,000 people could win $50 - sounds incredible to me. So LET’S MAKE SOME NOISE !!

DON’T FORGET the launch of stock tokens marks the MOST IMPORTANT EVENT ever for DeFiChain !! If we don’t go ALL-IN on marketing NOW, we will NEVER have such an opportunity again !!!

Participation is really easy: either create a written post, create a graphic/ graph or make a video/ animation around the topic: why do you believe in #roadto50? If you are not the most creative person out there, but would still like to participate, then we’d like to give you  some inspirational help. The following suggestions are just examples and there are no rules or guidelines on how your content could look like. Feel free to take the following suggestions as a starting point and unleash your creativity:

  1. Why are you a true #DFIHOODLER?
  2. Why will DFI go to $50  #roadto50?
  3. Why do you believe in #NativeDefi for Bitcoin?
  4. What are your positive experiences with DeFiChain?

On December 24th we will for the first time reach out to the #roadto50 content creators whose content had the highest engagement rates. Shortly thereafter the DFI will be paid out.  

Most importantly; there are no rules/ limits or whatsoever. We do not want to limit the creative process, and as such we proactively recommend creating as MUCH NOISE as possible to get your message seen/heard by as many people as possible.

Don’t forget, the whole purpose of this CFP is to promote #roadto50 and let it go viral on social media and to demonstrate the strength of the DeFiChain community. In other Words: LET’S MAKE SOME NOISE !! 

If this CFP will be approved by the community, the competition will immediately start thereafter We will not waste valuable time towards achieving our #roadto50 goals.. 

On a personal note, I have also already started with some crazy recordings. Feel free to check them out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT4UcfG\_Ciw

DeFiChain Promo — January to June 2022

Describe the purpose

Hey guys,

My name is Jeff, and I am a 33-year-old married family father who is currently working as a software developer.

We launched DeFiChain Promo five months ago during a time when the whole alt coin market was trending sideways. As a result, social media activity was quite underwhelming and DeFiChain did not get the exposure it deserved.

We tried to change that and made it our business to promote DeFiChain on Twitter by rewarding people for their efforts.

Our "Community incentive program" (CIP)has been a complete success so far.

To give you some numbers:

  • 1300+ Tweets & Media Elements uploaded
  • 800+ registered users
  • 1800+ Twitter followers
  • Over 500,000 (Half a million) page views on our website
  • 200,000 distributed promo points to our CIP-attendends

The numbers speak for itself, and I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together as a community over the last few months.

Just to visualize what it means in terms of twitter activity: Here, you can clearly see the impact of the CIP.

https://preview.redd.it/n5be530a6kz71.png?width=1455&format=png&auto=webp&s=fba3b27b0a8a4c30e4d9324ef9dc9cc549db1449

Even though the above numbers are quite strong, we had to deal with some initial difficulties. The incentive program was overall working well, but it had one small problem: Many people used the CIP solely for the DFI reward and spammed the Feeds rather than pushing qualitative DeFiChain content. We invested in our own shortcomings and did our homework and were able to deliver an overall better, fine-tuned algorithm and new features such as the whitelisting process, which turned out to be a tremendous success.

What’s the goal of this CFP?

In this CFP, we are asking the DeFiChain community for their votes regarding our ambitious plans for the first half of 2022.

In 2022, we would like to shift our focus away from the sole CIP towards a “CIP + Additional promotion!” narrative.:So far, we have used 100% of the funds we have received in our first CFP to run the CIP.

Since we are already quite a large community, we no longer see the need to run the CIP to the extent we currently do. However, we would like to continue to run the CIP, but also use some of the funds for other promotional activities (see below).

Hence, DeFiChain Promo would like to change the focus from "CIP only" to "CIP + Additional promotion!" starting in early 2022.

It’s very important to properly plan promotions and the associated budget, especially in a bull market.

We, as the DeFiCahain community, have the community fund, which should be used to push DeFiChain forward.

This is crucial, especially in this time of the crypto bull cycle. Hence, we would like to do our utmost to help DeFiChain succeed and go towards the moon.

How will the fund be spent?

2,500 DFI for the community incentive program:

As stated above, we'd like to keep the incentive program running. People like it, and receiving DFIs as an incentive for pushing DeFiChain content also attracts new users to the ecosystem.

Due to the rising DFI price, we'll adjust the amount of distributed DFI accordingly.

It is planned to distribute a total of 2,500 DFI to the CIP participants in the first half of 2022.

4,000 DFI for other promotion activities:

We're expecting a remaining strong Q4 and Q1 2022 with Bitcoin leading to new all-time highs. That’s why it is utterly important to increase the marketing effort. We’d like to extend our reach by reserving some funds for the following marketing initiatives:

  • Pushing the DeFiChain ecosystem and grab opportunities as they come
    • In the past 6 months, we have often been in a situation where we have seen a good opportunity to make promotion for DeFiChain. Just to name a few:
      • Possible influencer shoutouts
      • A giveaway on special occasions at the right time.
      • Giving people up to 10$ in DFI on top for their first purchase over at DFX.swiss
      • etc.
    • But since all the DFI from our first proposal are reserved for the CIP, we have not had a chance to catch on those opportunities. Therefore, a part of this 4.000 DFI will be used to grab opportunities as they come. Since I don't know when or how often these opportunities will arise, I can't budget a set amount for this.
  • Pushing other community projects
    • We’re slowly but steadily building up the DeFiChain-Promo Twitter account. The DeFiChain promo account is growing slowly but steadily. Our plan is to regularly do small DFI giveaways to push other community projects that deserve more visibility forward. This will help to increase the reach within but also outside of the bubble. We just did that with defilinks io for example (https://twitter.com/DeFiChainPromo/status/1457697811127062528).
    • This not only pushes other community projects forward, but also the DeFiChain promo Twitter account. This means that the impact of the individual "pushes" increases over time.
  • Starting promotion campaigns
    • As we mentioned above, we want to shift away from “CIP only” to “CIP + promotions”. The goal of those promotions is to tighten the community and attract new users as well.
    • To put it a little more clearly: Our first promo action is a Christmas promo action and will start regardless of the outcome of this CFP's on November 18.
    • Over the next 6 months, from January to June 2022, promotions such as the Christmas promo, will appear regularly on certain events.
    • Even “smaller campaigns” like the who-to-follow section will help to grow the community https://defichain-promo.com/who-to-follow (distribution of knowledge is key)
    • Gleam.io campaigns
      • Here a few examples for what a gleam.io campaign could be used:
    • Another Idea for a promotion campaign is: A live hosted tournament occasionally:
      • Let’s take “chess” as an example: I’d love to plan and organize a live hosted tournament on YouTube and/or twitch. The entire tournament could be streamed and commented by a professional. The price pool could be around 200 DFI. Since this will be a public tournament, even people outside our DeFiChain bubble can take part. This in combination with the professionals/commentors reach could lead new people into our beautiful ecosystem.
    • Important: These are all ideas I have in my mind right now. I surely will not implement every one of those ideas. But this is a rough guideline for what the funds will be used to boost the DeFiChain ecosystem.

3,500 DFI will be used to cover all associated costs with operating DeFiChain Promo:

Operating DeFiChain Promo is pretty time-consuming and a lot of things are happening behind the curtains like:.

  • CIP and website related stuff
    • Reviewing whitelisting applications
      • Each registration for the CIP is reviewed manually to conquer the spam we saw in the very beginning of DeFiChain-Promo. Going through the whitelisting-questions and evaluating the answers is a pretty time-consuming task. We currently have over 800 registered users.
    • Doing the actual payouts
      • Every requested payout is a manual job. When taking into account, that a CIP round lasts for 2 weeks, processing each payout individually is a lot of work.
    • Planning, organizing and executing the CIP
      • Of course, each round of the CIP needs to be planned and organized. The CIP is not an automatic process and requires manual adjustments for each round.
    • Looking through uploaded tweets and media elements
      • When it comes to maintaining the website, newly uploaded tweets and media elements need to get reviewed and released in order to appear on the website.
    • Regular Backups
      • Since the CIP deals with “real money”, we need to make sure we have regular backups in case something happened.
  • Planning, organizing and executing of promotion campaigns
    • This is the part where the most of the time will be spent on. Next to the CIP we’d like to do other promotion campaigns as well.
    • For example, have a look at the Christmas campaign, coming on 18. November
    • You can also have a look at our newly implemented “who-to-follow” section to give new community members a source on how to dive into the DeFiChain universe: https://defichain-promo.com/who-to-follow
    • I’m planning a lot more of those promo campaigns, like the campaign for Christmas.
    • All those campaigns are connected with time + organizing + executing + evaluating which is pretty time-consuming
  • Running costs

All these tasks are not only time-consuming, but we also have to pay for them. Hence, we would like to reserve some DFI for associated costs stemming from running the service.

As you can see, the overall costs are round about $30.000 and does not even nearly come close to the worth of requested 3.500 DFI (~$12.000).

I know that 3.500DFI is a pretty small amount for the amount of time, efforts and energy put into the project. But since my goal is NOT to make as much money as possible out of the CFP but rather to make a significant impact and push the DeFiChain forwards in the long run, I’m totally fine with that.

Just to make it clear:

Every unspent DFI from the requested 6500 DFI for promotion activities will either be taken over or burned in June 2022 with the new CFP for the second half of 2022 (Up to the community)

How does this CFP benefit the DeFiChain community?

Promoting a project is important, especially in the current market climate.

I'm personally burning for the DeFiChain project and want to give my heart and my soul to it to see it thrive.

From this CFP, the DeFiChain community gets an immense added value delivered through promotions.

Not only does DeFiChain promo bring new people to the ecosystem, but it also connects and brings the community together.

Promo campaigns bind users to the project, making it easier and better for them to identify themselves with the project.

We all want to see DeFiChain on the moon and the best part to achieve this is via dedicated promotions

WHY IM STILL SUPER BULLISH ON RUSS/ SAITAMA REGARDLESS OF THE SHITSHOW LIVE STREAM!! ITS LONG BUT ITLL ADD SOME PERSPECTIVE!!

Russ is a business man with his numbers he’s not an event planner this is his first time doing anything with crypto so there’s obviously gonna be slips along the way! Literally all major cryptos or any altcoins are made by crypto professionals that know how crypto works such as shiba was made by an engineer that made etherum and many other alt coins that had engineers from other big crypto currency’s but what I like about russ is that he’s the under dog with no marketing experience and no experience whatsoever in crypto and he’s been talking a lot about the future of saitama and with him and his small crew they’ve already made an app that’s gonna be revolutionary and it’s not just that it’s the fact that all of this is coming from the new kid on the block yea the live stream had no mind blowing info but we’re getting our own god damn block chain and 6% stake plus 2% reflections like he’s really out here doing everything he can and KEEP IN MIND HES DOING THIS ON HIS OWN DIME/TIME he’s doing Interviews with YouTubers with 5k-500k subs and that’s what i like about him he doesn’t put himself above anyone else and he’s a literal millionaire that doesn’t need all of this stress doing interviews for hours ever day!! When i first got in Saitama i was in for the gains and I started hearing Russ’s interviews and this is a literal crypto revolution and SOMEONE IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE OVERLOOKS IS he’s man enough to show his face from the very start which means he believes in the project form the very start so I’ll be by his side Diamond handing this through the -80% days and the 10000% and that’s just the nature of crypto too how Bitcoin literally dropped from 65k to 28k in a matter of days cause cause china banned crypto mining and then look at it now back making a new ATH after a couple of months after people realized it was an over reaction and whales selling so crypto is not for you If you can’t handle the volatility! A little side note PLEASE PEOPLE take just a minute to go see apples very first event it’s super cringy but they take what worked and build on it and take out what didn’t work! Now watch apples most recent event it’s like a Tripple A movie! And I’ll leave it on this dogecoin was the first meme crypto currency’ that led way for all these other meme coins that die off quick! Shiba was supposed to be Doge but with actual utilities other than just used as a payment method like doge but it’s been over a year and the only thing they’ve released from what they promised is NFT’S and shiba swap which was cool at first

But it only works with shib token, And it’s claim to fame was being the doge coin killer and it passed it for a week and it died down! Shiba can have a lot potential but we don’t know the real identities and names of the creators and they don’t update on what they plan on doing with shib and what’s going on with all of their promises but Saitama is literally releasing An app not just to swap tokens but it’s whole market place 6 MONTHS SINCE THE COIN RELEASED and the fact that Russ is always willing to listen and we have s face we can connect to Saitama and he’s always willing to listen is why I’m so bullish on this coin !!! THE WOLF PACK IS A CRYPTO REVOLUTION CAN I GET A HOWL IN THE COMMENTS? 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺I love and am proud to be part of the wolf pack 💪💪💪 just remember it’s crypto so buckle your seat belts is gonna be a bumpy ride!! Please leave in the comments if you are still holding regardless of the Live stream and all the FUD/HATERS?? We just witnessed history last night folks this was the first time there’s ever been a crypto release event live in person so Russ Is bringing new people interested to the crypto market in general not just Saitama!!! Who agrees with me that Russ is just a different kind of leader he’s a different approach to crypto and I’d rather have him behind this project than any famous engineers that worked on big projects like Bitcoin and ETH! Save this post I guarantee Saitma will be the top 3 or at least 5 cryptos in 10 years! We have the holy trinity Bitcoin is the store of value(Crypto gold), ETH will basically be the motherboards of crypto and they’re both too valuable to just use to pay as a tip IRL so in comes Saitama it’ll be what we use as an every day coin beyond just payments! They even said well be able to use it for Metaverse and that’s just for now but it’s still insane the possibilities are only limited by Russ’s willingness to keep working on it!! Please tell me I’m not the only one that sees the potential?? I’ve never been so bullish on anything in my life they’re gonna be more impactful than Apple was When they released the first touch screen phone considering all other phones at the time were flip phones but people played it off as a fad but they were just beyond their time! Same thing with Tesla when they came out with the first electric vehicles that look Good considering all cars that were electric were hybrids and the only fully electric car when they Tesla released their first car was the pruis lol but again they beyond their time and passed off as a fad and joke but that’s what saitama is not just the coin but Russ too is the elon or the Steve Jobs of Crypto but crypto is still relatively new Bitcoin came out in 2009 and only got hype because it was the very first crypto and people associated it with just the black market and paying for torture rooms and Bitcoin had that stigma till like literally the past few years so people were weary on buying digital money then ETH came in and opened peoples mind to the true potential of crypto and Saitama is will definitely be part of crypto history with eth and Bitcoin but people pass it off as Russ having too big Of dreams and some people don’t take him seriously since he’s the new guy to the crypto space with no expensive and a small team and with all the sudden surge of all these scam coins that are failed promises even the most recent one shiba they left the project halfway done but so far he’s been transparent and putting in work thats taking away real time from his personal life! I’ve never written so much not even in school but i see the real potential in this!! Can i get some opinions??

And like I said whenever a company does something for the first time there’s bound to be stuff wrong with it the first IPhones Apple store had like 5 apps and was super buggy, the first Tesla released literally had a horrible battery that barely lasted a day and it was full of bugs! But most importantly what Elon, steve jobs and Russ have in common is they all truly believed in their projects and money was Just a side effect of their passion cause they all truly believe their products can change/help humanity!
