First one goes out to three much crypto.
He had they have been constantly sharing charts of the project,
you know, keeping everyone up to date with the price action.
All of these great things to ease people over.
And I'm just very thankful that we have them in the community with this,
with this level of experience, with this TA knowledge.
And it's just great to see the amount that they continue to show up and
support the project.
And the second one that I have is Andy F.
I don't know if he's here.
I believe he's here.
Yes, Farrell, you know, I've constantly just a big shout out to you.
I see you showing up every day in the telegram,
asking where the raids are at, continuing to help us push the project.
You know, you're one of the people that I see show up,
whether we're on red days, green days, morning, night, whenever I'm online,
I see you active in the telegram.
And I'm just really thankful for you and your participation in the community.
So three much crypto, Andy F.
Thank you very much.
Just wanted to call y'all out and give you your props.
You know, you, you are, you inspire everyone in the community.
And like, you know, you set the example for how people should show up and participate for what if.
So thank you to y'all too.
And we will continue to do more weekly shout outs as we, as we progress and mature.
So the next thing that I wanted to talk about is just really quick is the community contest.
So we launched a new raid contest back on 13th.
So three days ago, that will end this Sunday, the 20th, pretty much at midnight Eastern standard time.
Right now there are $500 in prizes on the lines for the top raiders.
So if you have any questions on that, want to get involved, join the telegram, ask one of asking the chats.
One of the mods will fill you in with all the details that you need.
You know, this is the fourth contest we've done.
We've seen a lot of success from them.
And we will continue to iterate on these and, you know, over time,
hope that we can increase the prize pool as we grow.
So if you want to be involved in the community, you want to work for your bags
and you want to potentially be incentivized for that, then the best way of doing that is to join the telegram and to get in on the community contest that we have going on.
So that kind of wraps up the contest information.
So last week, we had a little bit of technical difficulties.
And so there's a couple of things that I want to re-highlight that we have done that are really community driven features.
You know, I was talking to someone earlier today and they were kind of shocked by some of the features on the website.
They didn't really know they existed.
And I think that there's some of the best ways for the community to get involved and their creative mechanisms to help share the project.
And so we spent weeks rebuilding the website from ground up.
We honed in the brand, we streamlined things.
And what came from that is a new tool section on the website that has three main things that I want to talk about.
The first one is the PFP generator, which I see a lot of people have used.
I can look and scroll through this X space and I see a ton of people that have taken advantage of this PFP generator to update your profile pictures and help spread the word of what if.
The second one is the meme vault.
You know, someone asked me, hey, is there somewhere I can go to see all of the photos and all the memes that people are sharing.
And I sent them a link to the meme vault from the website and they were blown away by it.
They had no idea it existed.
And so we have close to 300 unique memes related to the what if project directly on the site for people to download and use as they see fit.
Or to share directly to X right in the more and more people share these the more and more people that update their PFPs and share those sorts of things on X.
We're spreading the message of what if right we're growing the community.
And we believe that those are two community driven features on the website that anyone can take advantage of to really help drive the project forward.
And it's something that the team is really proud of we put a lot of thought into that and we will continue to add more and more memes.
You know, I think we started with like 100 to 150 and now we're up to 300.
So if you have not seen those two features head over to what if on hood calm you'll see a new tools drop down once the vault and then one is find your coin to get your new PFP.
The last thing under that section is if you do not want to use our something from our mean vault maybe you want to try and create something yourself you'll see a new section that's dedicated to our brand right.
And if you go to the brand page on the website there's a download button that includes logos the avatar.
Vector word marks banners you know we have these character reference sheets we even have instructions and context that you can give your AI agent to help you generate content when you're trying to use it to spread the message of what if.
And what that helps do is it helps keep it still unique it'll be unique for your use case but it helps match it up to the brand that we have.
You know a lot of professional a lot of companies provide these types of brand assets and we believe that by providing this takes us to just you know the next level.
So that's really the announcements that I have for the community driven features for the site.
I know a lot of people are asking about you know centralized exchanges and those sorts of things.
One of the big things that we've added to the website that targets you know these centralized exchanges is the white paper.
The white paper is kind of the you know it explains all the ins and outs of the project and it really is primarily targeted towards these professional entities that are coming and want to know about what if where we're at.
And we believe that this type of information just shows that like we truly are taking this seriously and that it adds another level of professionalism for the project.
And so if you haven't checked out the white paper you know there's a lot of information in there we had writers spend a lot of time on this.
But this is our attempt at documenting what what if means as a community as a project and we're going to be using that as we continue to talk.
With these centralize its exchanges.
So we're really excited about that.
The last kind of weekly update that I have in terms of the project is this marketing campaign that we have going on and this also you know relates to the centralized exchanges.
And to some degree the website.
I'll quickly just say in terms of marketing and reaching new segments like this is a multi month effort and it's not something that we believe is going to happen overnight to create some sort of volume spike.
Like we are focused on targeting the Arabic African and Asian markets because we believe that these are like focusing on these segments have some of the biggest return on value as it helps grow the community.
To completely new regions of the world.
And so what what's something that we've done.
You know now if you go to the what if website it's now available in multiple different languages.
It's available in English.
It's available in Chinese.
Turkish.
Spanish.
Spanish is the most recent one we've added and we will continue to look at opportunities to support the website in different languages.
So that as we focus on these new segments we can still point them to the same website and the same product that everyone experiences today and bring on those communities.
So once again, you know we believe that the marketing campaign that we have going on right now is something that will be a multi month effort.
And we believe that you know it is the biggest return on value of where we can focus right now.
And from that point you know we've seen a lot of chatter in the Asian market with Binance right there.
You know we're getting hints and hints of people using what if and soft healing the project and we're clearly catching the attention of these markets right.
So stay tuned for more updates you know we're just getting started with some of these marketing endeavors.
We're more than happy to answer questions on it if you have any you know any questions on it as far related to it definitely stop by the telegram the team will be there and we can.
Well we will happily answer questions so the last thing that I want to touch on related to kind of the Binance and the centralized exchanges and whatnot is a lot of people have been asking us or saying like oh you need another exchange you need another exchange.
And I want to be very clear on this our stance on the matter is that we believe that we should be focusing exclusively on tier one exchanges.
You know this that it takes a lot of effort it takes capital it takes connections it takes resources and we believe that it's not in it's not worth it for us unless it is a tier one exchange.
And we have finally started to really build up relationships and have started the conversations with you know the likes of Robinhood the likes of Binance and what not.
So yes we are thinking about centralized exchanges the team is aware of it the team is working hard on that subject and we hope to have updates in the near future for you.
And so that wraps up kind of the weekly updates that I have for the project specifically we're really excited about the work that the team is putting in you know we have several like I said last week we've onboarded a couple of new people.
We have people heads down working on this project we have influencers heads down working on this project that believe in us and I couldn't just be more excited about the opportunity that we have and I think that's actually.
You know a great transition into the guest segment because we have been crypto joining us today who I have just had the pleasure of getting to know.
And he has been extremely bullish on the project we saw him post a few videos on the project recently and we reached out and wanted to get him on the X space and he agreed and we're just super excited to have him here so.
Without further ado bin I see you do have speaker status can you do you want to give it a go and see if you can hear you sure yeah good to go here thanks for having me out hope everyone's having a good day today.
Yeah absolutely do you want to just you know spend a quick 30 seconds to a minute introducing yourself for us.
Sure so yeah Ben crypto is the name I have a YouTube channel and also Twitter page and say I'm like two thirds YouTube one third Twitter a couple of a lot of meme coins mostly Robin had stuff you are the chance up it's been most Robinhood for the last two to you know two to an hour since the chain launches.
Cover some low caps me being caps all sorts of stuff a little bit of technical analysis of the top 10 coins as well but right now it's mostly just a meme coin stuff.
Yeah fantastic yeah I came across you because you posted something about if you know weeks ago and that's how I got to know you so we're excited to have you here excited to have you bullish on the project and you know.
Last week we kind of just did an interview style back and forth we're going to try that out again this week I have a few different questions that I want to ask you get your take on the project and we'll see how it goes so.
The first question I have for you is um you know how did you first come across what if and what made you you know like the project so it was a soon after launch probably mid mid maybe like a week or two after launch when it had the first pump.
And the finance Freeman was one of the people tweeting about it then I also noticed Roshan Silva was covering a little and crypto archie as well.
He seemed kind of the one who got in from the very beginning that's when if had the first pump which was great but then you know it especially got me interested you know it had 80% dip to pretty much every single meme coin has after that first a TH and then it recovered you know almost immediately from that it's also recovered from two subsequent dips about 50% each to pump after that so you know strength from the chart particularly in difficult times like it you know.
Set up pretty good week particularly yesterday in the day before the rest of the March was new can if was you know up on the charts so that's one thing I look for the community you know I noticed immediately super strong it looks like maybe about half the people in this chat here have you know the if the meme if the meme generator.
P.F.P. is and it's probably going to only increase the more you guys do these spaces along the project sticks around and becomes hot sets one thing up.
