that animation illustrate how meme's coins currency start.
one of the animation project I made with my current client.
For me, if I want to learn about something new, it's better to study its origins first.
So, by searching about currency, specifically Bitcoin, I started looking into where the first conversions began. I found a site that covers everything and links to the first conversations from the early years of 2009.
Here, I understood that the value of Bitcoin back then was USD $1.00 = 1,309.03 BTC, which equated to an incredible $0.00764 per Bitcoin, or in other words, 7.6 US cents per 100 Bitcoins.
Of course, at that moment, no one would dare to invest in something without knowing its potential value circulation. right?
In my deep research, I found a site where all the information I provide here comes from.
This site also links to the first conversations about Bitcoin from the early year of 2009.
I put the link bellow of this blog.
While reading at that article, I told myself that if time travel were possible, I would buy Bitcoin, haha. Anyway, I was 16 years old at the time, probably graduating from 4th year high school, so I had no interest or knowledge of these things or any kind of investment scheme.
During that time, information wasn't as accessible as it is today. Everything is easier to find on the internet now.
I didn't have a personal computer too, my parents couldn't afford it to buy because their income was just enough for our daily needs.
It's essential to see the origins of things, people, or establishments to understand their value during times when no one believed in them. You know that early stage when you talk about something that doesn't yet exist in the world, and people laugh at you?
Many people have proven that nothing is impossible in this world. If today's meme coins have many skeptics who don't believe in their potential to increase in value, we can't answer that. Only time and patience can provide those answers. So for me, it's okay to invest a small amount in them rather than be skeptical and judge their potential.
But I'm not saying you should just dive in. Research and information are still crucial. Not all tokens in the crypto world are managed by the same types of people. As an artist, I have some idea of how developers move money around through the tokens they release.
Since I handle multiple clients, I don't generalize. I stuck with my last client because they showed genuine goals for their token. Unlike my previous clients who randomly requested character designs, which made me suspect they might be shady, this client seemed different. They requested different characters weekly.
I discovered that, like in games where you invest and earn, they do the same. They gather investors, collect money, and then withdraw.
This exploitation won't disappear in the cryptocurrency world. As high as the opportunities are, so are the chances for exploitation by corrupted minds. Such people no longer have the empathy to care for others; exploiting others is second nature to them.
There wouldn't be laws if people's minds weren't corrupted. In my view, everyone is born with a corrupted mindset. It changes and depends on what we grow accustomed to and the values instilled in us, which is why the scope of friends is so important.
Every person we meet and interact with influences our character and mindset.
In our world, where everything revolves around money, corruption is inevitable. This can tarnish good intentions, so it's essential not to generalize judgments about everything around us.
For example, the story behind the origin of meme characters. Pepe, for instance, was a decent character, but in the crypto world, its image changed. So the character depends on how people use it and the personality they want to apply to it.
My approach to the cryptocurrency world is different because I base it on my perspective. I share my thoughts and ideas based on my research and experience.
Whatever personal view we have on digital tokens, it can contribute to the community if we share it.
As an artist with some insight behind the developers, I've seen that not all are the same. The currency you enter depends on the developer of the token.
With my current client, I can say they have a genuine goal for the token they handle.
The safety of your money depends on your research.
