The legend @maretus.eth sharing why he immediately gravitated to /9to5 More of these stories coming. We are cooking and have no plans to stop. Wouldn’t it be nice to drop your 9-5 by the end of Onchain Summer…?

I’m only superficially familiar with the project, but why does the legitimate endeavor of giving advice to people on achieving financial freedom away from their main 9-to-5 job require a token?

The coin helps demonstrate the ease with which a bunch of casters with no dev experience have been able to build a lot of cool shit - using on chain tools and education that’s available now. If @maretus can do this, anyone can. Also; fwiw - 9-5 is more than a memecoin now. It’s a brand, and that’s the direction we are taking the project. The coin is just 1 facet of a larger project. We have 9-5 fans who aren’t even into crypto. They just like the character. The brand speaks to people.

Thanks for your explanation. Sorry, I just tend to be skeptical of this approach. An NFT would have sufficed to create a community, gated or not (EVMavericks come to mind). I’m unsure how a token can be “designed to encapsulate the essence of breaking free from the conventional 9-to-5 work paradigm” without suggesting that it’s just another speculative play, where a few early adopters can make bank while the rest will inevitably be holding loss-making bags in perpetuity, as with every other zero-sum token out there. As for the technical feat of launching a token, meant to show others how they can achieve financial freedom by building onchain — here again, an ERC-20 launch is not really that hard these days given the tuts and tools available. OTOH I have yet to see a token that’s created lasting and sustainable value by generating organic yield instead of diluting its holders to oblivion. Happy to be proven wrong, maybe I’m too ignorant of the underlying proposition of this particular project

That’s kind of the point. None of the things we’re doing is that hard to accomplish these days. The industry has matured and grown enough that we now have the tooling, support, and education to do a lot of things we couldn’t do a few years ago without a dedicated developer. Couldn’t the same zero sum argument be made about almost any crypto project out there right now? Barring some obvious examples.
