The bad side of crypto is a topic that not many people talk about, it is a topic that is usually ignored and shrugged off. But should we pay closer attention to it? Follow me as I talk about it and also give updates of my token, $DIDID.
Interlude
Hello everyone, Zeus here. Welcome back to another post! Once again we’re going to be talking about $didid today, this is basically the script to my Youtube video, but this is way better. When I hit record usually my brain just leaves my body or something so usually I’m in front of the camera just yapping about whatever I think sounds right. But this, this is what I wanted the video to be like. So without further ado, let’s start.
Updates
So to start things off I want to talk about the fact that $didid is now exactly one month old. That’s honestly mind blowing to me, this journey with $didid has been so amazing, in fact I didn’t even realise it was turning one month old until one of my friends told me that.
Every single second of this project has been so enjoyable and lovely, my heart goes out to the community, to the moderators and of course to everyone who’s believed in the project thus far. Truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you. So, cheers to the one month anniversary, and cheers to many more that will come in the future.
And about the community, specifically the telegram group. In the last video, (watch the Youtube video to see for yourself haha), I stated that we had finally hit 2000 members, and well now just a week later we’ve zoomed past 2500 members and we’re currently at 3000 members which is outstanding.
And the community keeps getting better and better, now people are consistently pumping out memes and art of didid and it’s just beautiful to see. And something that makes it so beautiful is that even people who wouldn’t exactly call themselves artistic are drawing, purely because of the fact that they believe in the project.
(I love this so much since I’m a huge Nirvana fan, and that’s saying a lot because the community has made so much good stuff).
And the community and I actually hosted a twitter spaces event a few days ago, and it was lovely. Everyone there was delightful and it was actually much better than I expected so I’m sure that sometime in the future we’ll host another one, and if that happens, don’t miss out on it. There you’re free to come up and ask me questions or we could talk and chill out if you’re into that.
But that’s not the only thing that’s grown since the last video. The $didid pump.fun buy bot has also grown massively this week. And during this week the team has actually been hard at work optimising it. And now it’s incredible, we’ve fixed every single bug that we know of and we’re making it better for good measure, because of the fact that we’ve actually hit 2000 users which is amazing.
I also have some very good news here, we have finally been listed on cex with Mobee. Yesterday we held an ama event in Indonesian which my father participated in, you’ll be able to trade on their platform tomorrow and you no longer have to swap sol to buy $didid, using Mobee, you’ll be able to trade using USDT and IDR so huge shoutout to Mobee.
The Bad Side Of Crypto
Now, we’ll finally head into the main topic of this video; the bad side of the crypto world. I always knew that the crypto world was “laid back and fun” but I was a bit far off from reality. As much as I actually love the crypto world you can’t excuse the amount of evil and sin in it.
But I’m not trying to ignore the good when I say this. Throughout my journey I have met so many friendly and amazing people and a lot of them still help and motivate me to this day, but sadly those people are a part of a very very rare breed of crypto traders.
99% of the people who have contacted me about crypto or anything related to $didid have been people who tried to scam me, trick me or deceive me. And sometimes I’ll get this really nice message of someone complimenting my work and $didid and of course I feel obliged to respond with a thank you, and suddenly just like that they’re suddenly trying to lead me into an elaborate ruse of tricks just to get some money out of my pockets. And I’m super sad to say that this has happened in almost all of my messages with people who’ve messaged me.
This has haunted me since the day I started this project, in fact, it was even worse during the start. When I started $didid all I had in mind was the good and all the positives and so I was surprised when all these people with a snake’s tongue started messaging me. When I started I didn’t really expect people to be that evil and try to trick a 13 year old so I talked to them thinking that they were actually interested in the project, but nope, they weren’t.
And so all of these experiences taught me a very valuable lesson which is; in the crypto space you should always be careful, cautious and you probably shouldn’t talk to strangers who suddenly pop up in your dms. I can’t even tell you how many times I almost got scammed by these people. So, always keep a lookout for these types of people, and if you see them, don’t forget to report them, block them and if you really feel like it, share it to your friends so they can help report the guy in the hopes that they’ll get banned.
And beware, these scammers come in all types of shapes and sizes, they could be just sending you a copypasta of their work, they could be trying to lower your defence before trying to trick you or they could even be faking being another person which is something that’s really horrible. And arguably the most annoying are the ones that spam the official telegram groups with “telegram call groups”. Those guys are the ones I hate the most.
And you know as a 13 year old with incredible parents I’ve always been told to not swear and to always be polite in front of other people but the crypto world just isn’t that. The crypto world is built around swear words and bad ethics and just all round evil. And to prove that the most common term in crypto, which was actually the first I learnt, is lfg which means let’s flipping go. Of course the f doesn’t actually stand for flipping, it stands for something way worse.
Something that bothers me a lot is that all of these terms and those actions are treated as if they’re normal in the crypto world, and I’m experiencing this all at just 13, which makes people be softer and nicer with their words, I can’t even imagine how bad people’s mouths get in other group where the dev swears like a pirate.
And even though this personality is hailed by the crypto world as normal, $didid does not. Imagine the amount of people who have stopped crypto purely because people were either A, mean to them, B, swore too much or C, tried scamming them. I do not like this at all, I feel something as big as crypto should be able to be loved and cherished by every person of almost every age group.
This is why the $didid team and I have created the $DIDID Incubator So, imagine this, you’re a child who really likes soccer, you become the star player of your school team and everyone in gym class always picks you. Then one day you get a letter in the mail from a professional soccer team, and they want to sign you to their academy. Of course you accept and so you join their academy. There you’re taught how to correctly act in a soccer match, the right training exercises and the correct diet. And a few years later boom suddenly you’ve become the best player in the world.
Basically that’s what the didid incubator is. Using it, we want to teach youngsters the correct way to act and so they grow up to be mature and controlled human beings. The didid incubator will also hopefully inspire and encourage them to pursue their dreams and become whatever their hearts desire.
But the main idea of the $DIDID Incubator is to introduce young people like me to the blockchain. And since they learn and study the blockchain through the didid incubator, $DIDID as a token will become synonymous with crypto for them, leading them to buy and hold $didid. This will have both positive impacts on the crypto world and to $didid as a token.
I feel as though this is crucial, because if the crypto world was more polite and friendly I’m sure that it would attract way more people, newcomers and young people like me. I want the crypto space to become a better and more wholesome space for everyone. And Didid is proof that that could happen. In our community there are close to no swear words and that’s just amazing. Our community is also incredibly welcoming and wholesome, we all act polite it’s just incredible.
Thank You
So that is all I really want to share with you all today, next post won’t be about $DIDID. And I’ve actually found this rhythm I quite like which is posting twice a week, starting with either a football/book review/music post and following that up with a $DIDID post afterwards. Next post will be great, I have this amazing idea in mind and I’m sure you all will like this. And I’ll give you a hint here, it’s about music.
Cheers, Zeus.
