Sometimes we are at our best...sometimes we are at our worst πŸ˜” I brought in the new year in hospital. So if I've been quiet, please forgive me...it's been a slow start to 2024 πŸ˜‚ Looking forward to getting back to helping others this year πŸ™

GM legends! πŸ”₯ In a weak economy, digital currency will lower the barriers for entry. In our case, you don't have to donate $10, $20 or even $100...you can donate $0.00001c 🫨 In tough economic times, money has to go further and we are already seeing the need on a worldy scale! Have an awesome Tuesday πŸ™ #charity #blockchain #web3 #NFTCommunity #donate #CostOfLivingCrisis

Warning...I'm angry πŸ˜‚ It's Monday, I need some fire to kick my week off. Out of all the industries I've worked in...Charity is the most difficult. I have no product to hype or sell. I'm asking you to give away hard earned money in a flailing economy... The mobile app I've created though, allows you to donate as little as $0.0001c and that's where I believe the future is. Micro transactions using digital money. It's how we will rebalance the distribution of funding to millions of charities over the world and I'm at the forefront. I can't do it alone though. I need YOU! Social media is like screaming into a pillow as a small account, I need to grow so I can help others better! Have a great Monday fam! ❀️ @CharityToken4 give us a following you're not already πŸ˜‰ #charity #blockchain #crypto #usecase #Polygon #fundraise

Ever wanted to know how much it is to run a web3 app? Read this! πŸ”₯ Building is one thing but maintenance is another. A custom #web3 wallet costs between $50k and $200k and between 750-2000 hours of development. Then you have to maintain the services to run the application πŸ˜• So here's a price breakdown so you know what goes into a web3 platform. 1. Website $100-$400 a month depending on traffic 2. Blockchain APIs $150-$1000 per month depending on traffic 3. Fiat on ramp $300-$500 a month 4. Database $100 per month 5. Other servers $100-$300 per month Then as a business you have things like... 1. Accounting 2. Payroll 3. Social media subscriptions 4. Rent 5. Content producing 6. Marketing This list can be much BIGGER πŸ˜‚ but it gives you some idea into the costs of having a #startup We haven't received funding and keeping it all going until we do is stressful to say the least. It takes alot money from my own pocket to float this bad boy and I'm yet to see the risk/reward payoff. Advice; So my advice before you start, have a network of investors interested in your idea, allow them to follow along as you build your #MVP, build a community at the same time and by launch....you'll be ready to showcase. Investors want you to have skin in the game to show your commitment, but only put in as much as you can without breaking the bank. The funding landscape is crazy competitive, and it's more about being seen "doing" than selling the idea πŸ’‘ Honestly, getting that first meeting is the hardest! All you need is a working prototype but if you are inclined like me, I was making this my business regardless of investors or not so I built everything to a full working product. Because I have always wanted to help others ❀️ #VC #investors #charity #blockchain #funding #aussie

GM legends and legents πŸ˜‰ IT FRIDAY!!!! 😁 If you're grinding everyday, it probably doesn't matter...except that it does! The increase in small businesses and side hustles have increased by 400% since 2020, which means alot of you are grinding during the week AND any other times like the weekend/nights. I know it's what you need to do...but be sure to pace yourself, money isn't everything but it's sure important. Take breaks, appreciate life and the time you have here a little more...you won't regret it ❀️ Have a great day and I hope you have some time on the weekend to relax πŸ™ #HolidaysAreComing #charity #advice #weekend #sidehustle

If you want to build your business faster...give back! πŸ”₯ Social enterprises are quickly becoming mainstream...why? Because in a tough economy, people want to either SAVE money or MAKE more money πŸ€‘ Find out what a Social Enterprise actually is πŸ‘‡ #socialenterprise #crypto #web3 #BusinessGrowth #charity

GM and Good day to you! 😁 No one is coming to help you... Those are hard words to hear, and while the truth often hurts, it also sets you free! Once you realise its you against the world, you learn to play the game of life. Not everyone gets a participation trophy here, so you gotta celebrate the wins and reflect on the losses by yourself! Only then...will you learn, grow and become open to change. Have an amazing day! πŸ”₯ πŸ™ #web3 #MotivationalQuotes #jackiechan #GM

I don't care what the stigma says....#web3 has some of the best humans on Earth! πŸ”₯ Sure, we've all been rugged, but what seems like the majority is only a very small minority that has macro effects. Don't let that shit affect the way you think about crypto... #crypto #web3 #bitcoin #NFTCommunity

GM fam! In spite of Bitcoin and gold at all time high, remember one thing... It's still controlled by governments and their counterparts. Normal people aren't buying Bitcoin or gold, they are broke... The new digital bank currencies will tap into defi liquidity, this is simply the "greatest wealth transfer in history"... Does it make sense now? If it doesn't, please ask away! If there's one thing I'm good at, it's sniffing out the change of monetary policy. TLDR; Defi liquidity > bridge currency > settlement layers > CBDCs Can't control Bitcoin....umm hedgfunds own over 40% πŸ˜‚ they just can't control the protocol, and does it matter of they control price? Gold has been control buy price not supply for years... Working on some more videos, maybe a little more informative... Either way, as regulations come, so will price, and that's why no one will care and more will follow. But, if you are one of the people who care about the banks controlling currency still...nothings changed ✌️ #defi #bitcoin #web3

Today I saw this post from the @australian and it's about time we started talking about the inequality within the non-profit sector! πŸ™ The headline "some charities are taking too much" which relates to the stats that the top 10% of charities take OVER 94% of the revenue 🫨. Here's what I had to say about the article. theaustralian.com.au/busines… #charity #fundraise #blockchain #web3 #nfts #aussie

GM my Frens! 🐸 Wise words #1 πŸ˜‰ I was lucky enough to retire at 30yo. It wasn't until this time that I appreciated working... When you have nothing but time, time becomes valueless... So, I worked on myself, I thought about alot of stuff and I decided to go back to work πŸ˜‚ At 33, I founded Charity Token to help others ❀️ and it's been the most challenging, expensive, stressful, tiring work of my life YET the I appreciate working so much more than I did before... My point is this, you may not be able to retire to appreciate the need to be achieving something in your life, but take it from me, money and time mean NOTHING when you have lots of it. Just like crypto tokens, scarcity creates value. And while lots of money sounds good, you will blow it all if you aren't mentally prepared for it! So be ready for it by working on your vices and spending habits of both time/money πŸ’° βœ“ Don't have money, you'll appreciate it when you get it . βœ“ Dont have time, you'll appreciate it when you do But don't ever stop working!....comfort is where you go to die 🎲 It might seem like you don't want to and maybe you do need a break but don't quit, get back up and work slowly towards just one thing πŸ’ͺ You won't regret it! Have an awesome Thursday πŸ™ #web3 #crypto #lifelessons #MONEY #TimeToFly

GM fam! Has anyone run into app rejections by apple? Man they don't like web3... probably because they don't get a cut of the token sales from third party payment providers. I'm not sure if they realise, we don't even get a cut πŸ˜‚ Greed stifles tech, and it's easy to stifle when you own the whole damn industry. We will end up building a mobile friendly web version over a dedicated mobile SDK FOR SURE! What's your experiences here? #web3 #mobileappdevelopment #crypto #dApp

After alot of testing, token issues and the typical mobile app humps and bumps...we are about to launch our global version of Charity Token 😁 The fiat to crypto gateway by @GetOnramper is pretty easy to use. The initial KYC takes about 5 mins with some ID uploads but after that, everything is stored for the future πŸ’ͺ Everything on the app is designed for non #Web3 people. It's not flawless yet, but as web3 standards improve, so will we. The app has... β€’ No seed phrases β€’ Single token donations β€’ And no need to worry about gas because you're buying it to donate πŸ˜‰ I topped up my wallet ready to donate ❀️ Other features include; β€’ In app swap to USDT β€’ QR send and receive β€’ QR code and normal in app donate β€’ In app #Matic purchase β€’ blockchain pdf donation receipts β€’ Meta mask integration for Matic/Usdt (Just enter seed phrase in settings) β€’ google 2fa Once we get some funding next year from a seed round, we will add NFT purchases and more πŸ˜‰ Thanks to everyone for their support, it's been alot of testing, alot of ups and downs and alot of money πŸ’° But here we are! This new update will be available on #GooglePlay by tomorrow so keep an eye out for it! New charities will be listed in the coming week. If you are a registered nonprofit interested in fundraising with crypto...send us a DM or jump on our website for details. ✌️ #charity #crypto #donate #mobileapp
