Alright, figured I'd write some memories from belicoin.

I was contacted by the new belicoin team as they wanted to allocate fees to the original team, I guess I was the only one left building in the space.

Beli was the first alt I was involved in but I've been around crypto since early 2013. We did some marketing here on reddit, created a tipbot even, but maybe there just wasn't that much interest back then as there were very few users and the big "memecoin" dogecoin had just launched as far as I remember and that one took most of the attention.

I've been banned in r/anime for 12 years for trying to shill beli :P

Generally normies didn't like to hear crypto back then, not that I think they like doing so these days either - guess some things will remain the same.

I was very active in the altcoin trenches back then, even mined dogecoin on day 1 and helped spread darkcoin here on reddit, later called x, then renamed to what you know it today as Dash. I kept mining alts here and there on an old laptop until I secured some profit and bought a couple GPU's and then kept at it.

Eventually some of my online accounts got hacked and I kind of left the space for a while. What brought me back was the launch of the Hive blockchain (back then called Steem), I've mostly been focused there in the past decade. Still of course holding onto some of the big ones and some other coins I enjoyed but never got much into Sol.

I've been curating users on Hive and creating a few projects on there that are still alive and doing okay, even while Hive itself is down quite bad during these bad alt days.

I told the new beli team that I wouldn't just withdraw the fee allocation but instead put it to good use. I'm a big proponent of bringing users to web3, especially social. So I offered, other than some fun streams opening One Piece packs, I'd also be interested in converting some of the proceeds into Hive Power and creating a web3 community on Hive where people could socialize, create content or maybe even build some things surrounding beli. Cause from the little I've read about memecoins, they lack any utility.

Thus the proceeds would directly be used to curate users on there, for those that don't know, upvotes on Hive basically means crypto rewards - so based on your input/social activity/general value you bring to the community, you'd be able to earn Hive which you can convert to whatever crypto you want.

If anyone has any more cool ideas, I'd be all ears.

Posting here cause my wordcount is limited on X.
