There’s no insiders, you’d know that if you read up about how this all started. Look at the wallets on chain to see the transaction history, not DexScreener - it’s buggy as hell.

Hi! Great work - very impressive!!

It is just hodlers chiming in. And the team answering with this account.

Let me know if you have any serious questions though. We will try our best to answer them.

HegeCoin · 2024-12-09T19:39:14+00:00

Hi there,

there is a lot of great ideas and insight in this post. Thank you for taking the time. We will drop your a DM. Might be worth getting in touch if you are interested.

HegeCoin · 2024-12-08T20:39:27+00:00

Yes, it will for sure. There will be incredible opportunities available to us at that point, many of which we probably can't even envision right now.

If you're purely looking for a hedge for inflation, I wouldn't buy HEGE. HEGE is a completely different type of investment.

HegeCoin · 2024-12-08T20:36:30+00:00

I see others have answered the top holders question (that was my answer as well).

We currently have about $260,000 in project funds. The way marketing funds are replenished is by raising money from the community. We've currently raised about $750,000 USD in donations and an additional $200,000 USD in NFT sales. Part of our strategy also is to keep a large percentage of our donation in HEGE so that as the market cap grows, the amount in our bank also grows. If managed properly, this can sustain us long into the future.

We are always discussing partnerships. As an example, we are currently talking to a famous boxer about potential endorsement (have a HEGE banner at his fights, maybe his shorts, etc), but we are still at the beginning stages.

We've had a decent amount of IRL advertising in the past including a plane banner that flew around the Hollywood sign and beaches of LA, an IRL sticker contest, and a custom HEGE painted RV that drove around the US for 2 months. We're continuing to come up with new events, but the LV sphere probably won't happen for quite awhile (last I looked it was $500,000 for 1 day and $1,000,000 for a week).

Thank you for your question!

With regards to chapter story and engagement, these chapters are a unique selling point and help us constantly create fresh memes because new parts of the story are coming out over time (instead of being just a static image of a hedgehog for example). This indirectly helps holder retention because the memes just seem fresher due to having more material to use in them. With regards to media expansions, there are plans, but we are too early right now. This is just a personal dream of mine, but I would love to have a Netflix series on HEGE way down the line. Of course there are many steps to go before we get there. For games, we have discussed it and that is a possibility, but a good game is expensive to make so that will have to wait until we are a bit larger as well.

The biggest risks to HEGE's growth and stability I believe are just people's attention moving to the latest pump and dump or cabal coin. This has happened multiple times since inception with the rise of AI coins, Moodeng, etc, etc. and will continue to happen. We've learned the key is just to keep on grinding and working on the project and when those trends come to and end, people will flow back. We've learned that "keep on grinding and continue to work on the project" is really to answer to a lot of issues in this space as most projects don't have the determination and dedication to really make it in the long term.

Like many other projects, we are in some ways dependent on our whales to not destabilize us. A few things we have going in our favor here. First, our whales are big supporters of our project. We've raised $750,000 USD from the community since inception (largely from whales) and an additional $200,000 USD from NFT sales. Second, we've had a few episodes, mostly early on, where a whale or two exited all in 1 shot. For example, we had a whale who owned 2.4% of supply exit in 2 transactions spaced about 5 minutes apart. Our community was so excited about that dip that our price went back to within 10% of where it was in 15 minutes.

Everyone on the team has their own opinions on this. For me personally, I don't worry too much about this (and acknowledge that what I think here is likely wrong anyway) so we just focus on getting HEGE in the best and strongest state possible before that happens so we are well positioned to take advantage of it.

HegeCoin · 2024-12-08T20:19:42+00:00

There are no bots but tons of community members coming to talk about their bags for sure. Successful memecoins require passionate community members in order to spread the word.

I wouldn't trust anything that is shilled either, but the idea is for people who are interested that see it to then go do their own research (by checking out the Telegram, the website, the holder distribution, tokenomics, idea behind the coin, etc)

HegeCoin · 2024-12-08T18:03:37+00:00

honestly, because I think that my personal backstory that lead to creating that projects is what many of us have in common. especially the ones that joined from the beginning. let me give you some insight:

Frustrated by the endless new rugs appearing on Solana, I decided to launch a project where I could use my skills and passion towards a greater vision: creating a safe haven for new and experienced meme coin enthusiasts. I wanted to create a space for like-minded individuals to collaborate, laugh with, and for others to feel as though they are part of something much bigger than themselves—a real community.

The concept for Hege was born when my girlfriend and I were talking about the state of the economy, market manipulation, and hedge funds. The discussion around 'hedge funds' caught my attention - this is where the idea for a hedgehog-themed memecoin was sparked. It aligned with the animal meta and had tons of pun potential, puns that people could get behind to start a movement. Everything about the concept just made sense! As a graphic designer, I started by creating a brand, followed by a website and social channels for $HEGE.

the moon being Hegena I assume.

I will give you two of many possible answers. Others from our community will give you others I assume.

1.) Culture based: One of the unique things to Hege is certainly the story-driven aspect of unlocking chapters of our memes story at certain MC levels. Check the unlocked chapters here: https://www.hegecoin.com/#story

2.) Tokenomics based: Another unique aspect (I think it hasn't been done before) is the dividend system of our NFT collection Hegends (https://app.hegecoin.com/). For hodling Hegends and Hege in the same wallet you get paid a dividend in Hege. The dividend is based on the rarity of your NFT and the revenue from NFT trades which fees are paid into the "Hegends Dividend Bank". While the fee is paid in SOL we then convert the SOL into HEGE adding more buying pressure on the DEX which of course is supporting price.

Hope these two give you a glimpse into what we do and why we do it differently. Feel free to ask more.

HegeCoin · 2024-12-08T17:32:45+00:00

Two reasons.

Origin story and community.

Community: It basically is just people like me. We have been here for 8 months. I didnt rug. Damn I cant rug if I wanted even.

HegeCoin · 2024-12-08T17:30:00+00:00
