My fellow retards,
Your humble deacon prefers to travel by goatback. The leisurely pace, the sounds and smells, the rhythmic nature of one foot in front of the other…it truly is bliss.
In this modern world however there are times when expedience is necessary, and for those times a certain automobile does the job in a way that also elicits joy. Without narrowing it down too much, the vehicle in question is gas-powered, has four wheels and hails from a time before you needed a computer’s permission to fire up the engine.
One of phon/ongod’s wife’s uncles is a mechanic, and he related a piece of knowledge to a young deacon that still rings:
You don’t care about your car until you’ve changed the oil and cleaned the engine by hand.
Some elves contradict:
Phon/ongod your time is * valuable*. Oil changes and engine cleanings are grunt work. Anyone can do it, there are more important things that only *you* can do.
These elves don’t know half of what some crusty old-timers do… Most of them were raised on Pop Tarts and Ritalin…they can’t comprehend the pride to know a thing inside and out, the confidence of being able to take it apart and put it back together… intimate understanding like love for a woman—how to push the pedals and fit the parts just right…
Uncle-in-law’s attention for detail is fostered in every action. Clean every last inch of your car and learn things about it that you might not have ever realized. Change the oil because it reminds you how important it is to care for the lifeblood of your engine, and because the grease under your nails smells good and hints to baristas that you know how to do other things with your hands too.
The ability to break down an engine might not get you laid like having a boat and a guy to break down the engine for you while you drink High Noon’s in your Tesla, but the hands-on guy is probably better in bed, and the energy he gets from doing it is a prize all its own.
Phononites should consider the protocol in the same fashion. Access to it is a launchpad to financial freedom. Just being here now gives you a leg up on the masses who will come in a flood once they realize even a little of what Phonon can do. For many this is enough. To have the boat and the house and the kids education (please don’t send them to government school!) paid for is certainly a worthy goal, but those who understand the protocol and can thought experiment with the concepts that arise from atomic key-swaps have the potential to unlock something even more powerful than a fat stack of fiat in an FDIC insured account…
Those who know the way of Phonon Protocol can build a future in their mind and then implement it in the real world. The provable, trustless transaction of digital value has more use cases than a million elves could conceive. If you are here reading this, you have a chance to change the oil and clean the engine on an entirely new type of vehicle. Expertise like that is in short supply, and will be in huge demand when the rest of the world catches up with what you already know:
Phonon DAO is the future.
Familiarize yourself with the documentation. Buy yourself a testnet dev kit. Take the time to be first on the ground floor in a world where everyone else is still chasing the moon.
Tips to phonongod.eth will be invested in bounties that advance the Phonon project.
Hatemail to phonongod@protonmail.com will be scathingly considered.
Targets for the marketcap of PHONON DAO remain:
$1b by Q2 2022, $12b by EOY.
On the high end, $300b marketcap in 3 years.
