GM, Farcaster! I like the idea of this network, but that's really hard to get any initial traction here 😅 So let start again. Let me introduce myself. I'm experienced Golang developer. And I've in crypto since ~2017. I always like crypto, but almost all time I was trying to get quick gains. As a trader, or as a programmer.

I wrote bots back in 2017. There was BitFinex exchange the most popular those days. And it had quite good API, with websockets for ticker prices. So I just wrote bot myself on Golang. It was just for fun, but ofc I had some genious idea how to get profit from the market. I tried different things. It was just trading bot - it analyzed graph pattern and trade using some rules. I tried to adjust that rules. I backtested it on historical data got from BitFinex. And at some point it started to show pretty good numbers.. but only for that data I was testing it for. On other coin, for example, numbers wasn't so good. It's called overfitting - I learned it on practical way :D

Then I was trying to write arbitrage bot. In different ways - arbitrage inside one exchange but different pair. Arbitrage between exchanges. It definitely can work and get profits. But I spent 4-5 months on that, got tired and then realized I need to spend about 1 more year probably to make it work, and that's without any guarantee of success of course. It wasn't something I wanted to spend my next years with, so I stopped doing that.

On the other hand, I always had some pet-projects/startups that I was developing. I always had idea that I like to implement and show to the world. But I was more programmer, than enterpreneur, so I spent a lot of time to develop it, and then just realized it not needed or I don't know how to promote it. So, to cut the long story short, now I found what I love the most in crypto. Building. Creating startups, but with freedom of crypto. Why I chose creating meme-coin? Well, I'll tell you in next cast. Cauze I feel like that's too much text probably 😅

I decided to stop working on my previous startup one year ago, so I started to have free evenings. And what to do in those evenings? Make crypto coin sounds interesting. I found online course "how to launch token on Solana". They gave some good advices from their practice. Like using bundle bots and bots to artificialy increase volume. Probably it works. And probably that's good advices, if you just want to launch just-another-meme-coin, get quick profit and exit. But. I wasn't interested in such thing. Remember I told you I always had ideas that I want to implement and show to the world? This time was no exception. I like to design complex systems, that motivate and stimulate people to behave certain way. And crypto coin is an ideal example of that. But if you use fully its potential - tokenomics. Really, that's really sad that having such opprotunity as tokenomics, where you can create a lot of great things to really make some living organism, 99.9% just skip it and launch fixed supply 0% taxes. Boring

But I had those idea to create tweet-to-mint token. To be honest, first version wasn't named "GM". I chose it later, after analyzing all possible options. But. Idea was to create first tweet-to-mint token. That mean that every time you write "gm" in X/Twitter, you receive $GM token. Wow, sounds cool! Idk why, but it really sounded cool for me. And I wanted to implement it. At that point I didn't know anything about creating in crypto. I expected it would take like 3-4 month to master all needed stuff and launch tweet-and-mint token. But fast-forward, it took almost year. It wasn't so easy technically, I faced with a lot of challenges But trush is - that was exciting journey, so I enjoyed it very much.
