ABSTRACT

Thomas Jefferson is quoted saying, “Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty.”   The US Constitution’s Bill of Rights acknowledged Free People’s Universal, Natural Rights that empowered the citizenry unlike any time in recorded history.  The Constitution also decentralized the typical architecture of centralized, hierarchal power through the separation of powers, once again giving unprecedented power to the People.  Tragically, the very Freedoms that ushered in tremendous individual empowerment and that led to the great progression of the human condition now large parts of the population are disassociated from, and even attack.  We as a collective people have become intoxicated by our Freedoms, living in an age of decadence.  We have lost ground to the lowest common denominator of Free People, and become susceptible to the abuse of power, corruption, and the marginalization of our Natural Rights.  We are not Free, we do not have Free and fair elections, we do not have Freedom of speech, we do not have Free Agency determining the fate of The United States of America.  Molon Labe is a Greek expression of defiance in the face of tyranny and serves as a symbolic reminder of what Free People’s duty is if they wish to remain Free.  Molon Labe meme token is the renewing of our vow to the First Principles of the United States Constitution, to stand for virtues and Freedom at all costs, defiant of the establishment that does not represent The People and who demonstrates no fear of its citizenry.  Molon Labe meme token exists in the viral, high-risk, meme coin space in Web 3.0, to execute a growth strategy built on the virtues of trust, transparency, and integrity. Money has no value if you are not Free.  Translated to English Molon Labe is “Come and take it”, in other words, we would rather die with our conviction to our principles of Free People, than to submit and live under another’s rule.

 

WEB 3.0

The dawning of a new internet age is here.  Most simply put, Blockchain networks bring greater speed and security to communications networks ultimately boosting productivity.  Bitcoin, the Godfather of the blockchain has risen to a trillion-dollar asset and its decentralized network run by a wide variety of people across different countries, cultures, races, languages, and ethnicities, all who believe in the value of a global, decentralized, peer-to-peer, digital, permission-less, immutable, scarce, rules based monetary protocol.  The TradFi (traditional finance) banking rails are currently in the process of upgrading decades old networks; payments and cross border settlements costs will move asymptotically to zero, and liquidity will move internationally with much less friction.  DeFi (decentralized finance) is challenging the monolith of investment banking run by elites and opening the model to the average person.  During the turn of the 20th century the culmination of the automobile, phone, and electricity coalesced into a boom of productivity.  Today, blockchain, robotics, automation, genomics, and artificial intelligence set the stage for a future that delivers an order of magnitude more productivity than we can even imagine.  When someone says “crypto” this can be better understood as a groundswell off efficiency, speed, security, and ultimately productivity that will revolutionize the world.  In the coming years every financial institutional, every fortune 500 company, right down to the mom-and-pop store will employ blockchain networks, every asset will be digitally accounted for and every commodity tokenized.  We are leaving the early adoption phase of the S-curve and entering a parabolic exponential change of the world as we know it.  

MEME COINS

In his book, “The Selfish Gene” Richard Dawkins coins the term “memetics” as; “Memetics is a theory of the evolution of culture based on Darwinian principles with the meme as the unit of culture”.  Beginning with Doge Coin, a copy of the Bitcoin protocol, and started entirely as a joke, Doge Coin marked the beginning of the meme coin phenomenon in the crypto sphere. The meme coin space is a $44 billion dollar market cap valuation and does not look to be slowing.  Currently there are 7 meme coins with over $1B market cap valuations, most of them dogs.

Meme coins vary from simple cartoon characters, to memes of relevant cultural significance, political figures, and celebrity tokens.  Successful meme coins are typically due to 1 of 3 reasons.

1.) Organized teams placing long term success over short-term profit. 

2.) Crypto Twitter personalities buy tokens and then tell their audiences or “shill” them, pushing big volumes into projects.

3.) Pure serendipity i.e. Pepe the frog which ran to over $1B market cap in under 14 days largely due to the anti-establishment sentiment taking place in Western countries.

99% of meme coins die, most of them “rugged” where the project developers sell the liquidity pool tokens or sell large amounts of secretly amassed tokens, leaving holders at a complete loss.  Anonymity is the standard in the space.  The purpose of memes is no other than to make money, however to what extent, and at what costs ethically is the question.  Doxed, or identified founders and developers are rare, and even then if doxed they are pseudo names used in crypto Twitter that have amassed large followers,  but are still anonymous.  1:1,000 meme tokens have a founder and/or team that the identities are known 100%.   

  

STATE OF THE UNION

All empires wield power similarly, and if one is not growing power, it is losing it.  The conundrum of the national security state imposing its power for the growth and stability of its own well-being has always been a predicate of its downfall, and moreover near the end of its hegemony becomes counterproductive to its citizenry, as is increasingly the case today in Western countries.  While this is a much more complex and nuanced conversation, and we support the work of the National Security apparatus, we are starting to see outright abuse of power and corruption more frequently and more blatantly.  The Patriot Act permitting unconstitutional privacy violations, Covid restrictions of religion and Free travel, the use of corporate media to divide and disinform the citizenry, the SEC protecting intuitional investors from the retail masses during the Game Stop hype, the freezing of bank accounts of the Canadian Freedom Convoy movement, law-fare and the politicization of law enforcement and judicial institutions, the censoring of Free Speech when it speaks truth to power, and finally the interference and manipulation of domestic elections.  Furthermore, the US has grossly mismanaged its finances accumulating massive debt and the servicing of that debt continues to take a greater share of annual revenues, a conversation that is not being had.  A sovereign debt bubble is on the horizon and the central bankers and political class appear to be more interested in ignoring the red flags and continuing the very policies that created the crisis; meanwhile the standard of living for everyday US citizens falls.  It becomes more and more clear each day that this is the desired outcome, yet it was never voted on, never discussed in the public square.  The de-pegging of the US Dollar from the gold standard may very well have been one of the most effective national security strategies in American history, alongside of the establishment of petro-dollar, forcing the world to use USD and in-debting the US to the world and aligning US note holders with the interest of the US.  This sovereign debt crisis is an existential threat to Freedom and Free Peoples’ way of life.  We are here to warn the People, educate and prepare those who have eyes and ears open enough to learn, and also begin the work necessary to rebuild The United States of America, and the trust in her Institutions.   There is no Freedom without sound money, money is the stored energy of Free People and the product of their time and Liberty.  

 

MOLON LABE

Our strategy is a simple one.  Virtue over financial gain.  Build a project based on Principle, something that is nearly an anomaly in the meme coin space.  This will be the first of many distinctive factors that draws attention to our token.  Second, nearly every meme coin has an anonymous team, our founder is “doxed” or identified.  Thirdly, the most valuable Molon Labe tokens will be sold and recycled back into the project guaranteeing an extended life of the project and increasing our odds to do something great.  We believe transparency builds trust, trust will garner more attention and HODLrs, more attention and HODLrs will bring inflows and token holders, and with this credibility we will continue to grow the Molon Labe cause, message, and spirit of defiance of Free Men in the face of tyranny.  

 

GENESIS WALLETS:  A donation made by each of the 9 Generals to the Molon Labe cause, a sacrifice. 

GENERALS’ WALLETS:  These tokens are a symbol of trust in your fellow man, between the Founder and 9 Co-Founders aka “Generals”, held in multi-sig wallets. 

 


*Note: The number and amount of Genesis/Generals wallet to be updated upon launch.

IMMEDIATE GROWTH

Airdrops, Token Burns, Buy Backs, and Marketing.  Our founders have donated to the initial token deployment and allocated a fund that ensures the successful launch.  We have two categories of tokens held by the Molon Labe team; Genesis Wallets & Generals Wallets.  Genesis tokens, a name given to honor the creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto, will be 9 wallets used to reinvest and grow the token’s holders/market cap.  The sale of these wallets will take place on large green candles “Pumps”, and various marketing efforts will be paid for using these funds once a post-pump floor is reached.  Generals’ tokens are equal allocations given by the Founders that will not be sold as a demonstration of the conviction to Molon Labe.  These Generals wallets will be held in a multi-sig wallet by each co-founder and show that good men and women with integrity and trust in each other can do remarkable things together.

 

Airdrops:  These are tokens that we send to loyal Molon Labe token holders much like customer loyalty programs.  Those who are aligned with our ethos will receive tokens based on length of hold and fewest percentage of tokens sold. 

Burns: Removing supply from the market is a deflationary tool that puts upward pressure on price and earns confidence from the community.  We believe burning tokens is an act of defiance against the love of money, and reinforces what we believe in and shows our conviction that without values money has no worth. 

Buy Backs: If necessary the Genesis & Generals funds will be used to buy back supply supporting chart health.  We do not want an adversarial individual or team to compromise our mission and is why we are starting the project with the Founder holding a large percentage.  Where we would normally prefer growth over further capital allocation, we will do what’s needed at any cost and buy backs to ensure a healthy chart could be necessary. 

KOLs (influencers):  Many crypto projects will pay Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) aka “influencers” to “call” their token, in other words tell people they think it’s a good buy.  We believe we have what it takes not to implore this method of growth, rather be so legitimate that they call our token not because we have paid them but because we’re the real knows real.  These KOLs are expensive and know their value, however we know ours. 

Marketing:  Our Founder has start-up experience, Flo Music app, and executing a successful marketing strategy where he drove Cost-Per-Installs well below industry averages using various traditional and non-traditional (guerrilla) methods.  Billboards, digital ads, trucks, viral short form video across social media platforms, partnerships with other meme coins are all on the table.  We also believe that many of our holders will have skill sets, domain knowledge, and connections that we will be open to.  Number go up. 

 

I sit here and am humbled by the “what ifs” so I’ll share with you our dream, if everything went right what does that look like.

  1. We go to a $1 Billion Market Cap and insert a meme of Principle into the top meme coins which is currently occupied by dogs and a frog.

  2. We grow a community of likeminded people with various skill sets that can build cool things together and start decentralizing what we can. If you ask me, the Free People of the world need a decentralized communications network, thousands running nodes just like BTC. We need a media empire owned and run by millions, instead of what we have now which is a few media companies owned by very few people who disseminate communications to hundreds of millions most often times *disinformation at the behest of nation states.

  3. We bring people together across the isle and have conversations more reflective of reality rather than the dystopian and manufactured division we see across every legacy media company that rather than being journalists editorialize the news in favor of their political party. Politicians and the media share a self interested model that sensationalizes the news and distorts reality to their gain; at the loss of Free People to more effectively evaluate today’s current events in order to develop a more sound “World View”. Control information, control peoples’ perspectives, control peoples behavior… these days are over.

  4. Future projects. When 2 people know they can trust each other the possibilities of what they can do expand. My gut tells me this is the first of many projects and it is a privilege and honor to represent Free People and have them give me their trust. You and I go further together, groups are smarter than individuals, it’s time for Free People to take the power that is theirs.

 

Damn the man.
