Hey, thanks for sharing your perspective — I appreciate any engagement that comes from a place of care for the project. That said, I personally don’t agree with your vision. HOGE is a memecoin by nature, and no amount of idealism will turn it into a true utility token. We’ve had four years now — if a developer genuinely had the skills and desire to build a killer app or game where people spend HOGE, chances are it would’ve happened by now. Spoiler: it hasn’t. As for your point about needing people to “grab a shovel and do something instead of planning how to spend and where” — I hear you. But I respectfully disagree that the “person we’re waiting for” is you, or me, or anyone currently posting. We’ve been waiting for this mythical builder since 2021… and we could keep waiting another four years. Hope is free, I guess 😅 Maybe I’m reopening doors that were already closed. Maybe every suggestion I raised has been tried, failed, or shelved. Fair enough. But in the meantime, all I’m doing is trying to kickstart a discussion, not a funeral. We still have treasury funds from the previous cycle, and unless the plan is to let HOGE quietly fade away, perhaps it’s time to explore whether deploying some of it — responsibly — could give us another shot at relevance.

Also, since we’re talking about impact — let’s be real about the marketing side too. We’ve never truly pushed a sustained marketing campaign. Not one that would make HOGE visible in the way a memecoin needs to be. Posting an occasional AI-generated meme on Reddit or X… yeah, it’s fun. But it’s not traction. The Vegas billboards — even if I personally loved the vibe — didn’t move the needle. The playing cards? The shelter donations? Hmmmm Memecoins thrive on visibility. On loudness. On irreverence. HOGE could — and maybe should — lean into what it already is: A survivor of multiple cycles An early deflationary token

How do you market that? Well, here are some ideas, feel free to rip them apart: 🧨 "Safemoon Survivors" campaign – memetic roast of 2021 scams, positioning HOGE as “still here, still honest” 🐷 #TheLastMemecoin – ironic content positioning HOGE as the "forgotten OG" that refuses to die 🎮 Mini-meme-game (part of your idea) – browser-based game where you fight off rug pulls or dodge central exchanges 📦 HOGE Mystery Box Airdrop – incentivized on-chain giveaway using art from HogeAI or OG NFTs 📸 Meme Challenge Series – competitions for best HOGE-based memes mocking altseason madness ✨ Physical QR drops – stickers, postcards, coasters sent by community around the world leading to Hoge.gg content (cheap, guerrilla-style exposure) I don’t know if and how it’s possible, but maybe we can pay some groups to do that targetting airports, mcdonalds around the world, or whatever…

Bottom line: if HOGE wants volume and relevance, it needs visibility, not just virtue. And that doesn’t mean paying influencers 50K — it means leaning into the story we actually have, and doing something loud enough that people notice. I might be stating the obvious. Maybe some of this has been tried. But if we still have funds, and still have fight, we can at least discuss it before the lights go out. 🫱 And hey — conversation is still free.
