fundraising

🚨 Fundraiser Alert! 🚨

Hey Farcaster family, looking for your help and DEGEN tips! A family member has the chance to join a rare and relatively expensive volleyball club, and I'm raising funds to make it happen.

Here's how it works:

- Current $DEGEN price: ~half a cent
- For every legit tip I receive on this cast (or QC by me), I will match it 
- I'll donate matched amount at 1 full cent per DEGEN

Example:

- You tip 100 $DEGEN
- I match 100
--> Total 200 * 0.01 = $2 goes to the fundraiser 

And to show my commitment, I promise NOT to sell any $DEGEN related to this fundraiser -- will hodl it for at least one full year from today.

Willing to show payment details to someone I know IRL who can vouch, if needed.

Whatever your decentralized, borderless, neutral, censorship-resistant open blockchain question is, the answer is YES… to Crypto!

Also for tracking:

Wallet 0xb0Dc68F66202f4749D069B14359e167a8EFe5670 
- set up for this purpose
- I'm putting MY OWN actual $DEGEN there
- based on tips I receive plus my match
- I will keep $DEGEN there at least 1 year
- I will pay USD out of my pocket to family member
- see spreadsheet for details and tx

UPDATE: 216,722 DEGEN (108K tipped + my match) has already been squirrelled away into safekeeping wallet, not to be touched for at least a year.

Thank you - I've added your devilish tip to the spreadsheet.

I have 667 left for today. Just to make sure it goes through, here is 666 $DEGEN.

Cool, I was reading “club” as “private venue” but helping an athlete participate in their sport at a higher level when the costs are prohibitive is aligned with proxy values (winning, together)

Up until now, the vollyball club experience for [person] was "regional".  Regional clubs are great for grounding experience, developing teamwork, fundamentals and some local exposure.  They compete against locals.  They stay local.

The next step up in some areas is "regional plus", which is all local but at least one "Travel" tournament, giving a little more exposure to competition in different areas.

Then we get to this club - The "National" clubs.  They compete against top clubs in the country, including travel, uniforms, insurance, etc... giving maximum exposure to highly competitive events, including scouting and recruitment for potential college scholarships.  It includes a more rigorous and serious training schedule, requires more from the athlete, and indicates a strong commitment to their improvement.

Ballpark is $5k, which is way out of the price range for [person].

Can you say a little more about what a rare and expensive volleyball club is?

Thank you so much!  Wow, definitely helps!

Congrats!  Hope you can make it happen.

Wow.  This put the total raised over $1000 (with my match, and then boosted to a penny per degen).  Much appreciated.

Sending what I have left to support this great cause. 2105 $DEGEN
