The purpose of this article is to activate anyone who wants Gary Gensler to resign. I'll share some ideas on how you can contribute to making his exit period entertaining.
BYEGARY is a satirical meme coin on base created to unite the crypto community around a shared critique of regulatory overreach. Gary Gensler's time as chairman of the S.E.C. felt like a terror regime for many founders, creators, investors and everyday crypto users.
Combining irony with sharp humor, BYEGARY highlights the unintended consequences of regulation by enforcement: meme coin mania is a thing precisely because this chair.
BYEGARY taps into the community's resistance to over-reach of Gary Gensler's regime. The incoming Trump Administration paves the way for progressive legislation for crypto currencies and web3 at large.
Our community aims to spark a larger conversation on shifting power dynamics in society with creative content. Many of us are fed up with being entrapped in 5-9 jobs only to then be protected by the political and economic elite when we want to invest our hard-earned savings for a little more freedom and flexibility. We all know this is a rigged game! The current legislation is in fact complicit in ushering in the Low-Float-High-FDV epidemic where retails gets dumped on by regulated investors aka VCs. We had enough, and we respond in the most crypto-native way: with Gary's very own meme coin propagated by our creative content.
BYEGARY is our farewell gift. Let's send it
Ok, banger, but how do we get make waves, create a movement, reach the masses? Let's start by starting.
Project Information
BYEGARY was launched by Maretus on Clanker a new token launcher deployed by Proxy. Maretus is fully doxxed and highly respected on Farcaster. He started the Success Channel with one of the most successful Hypersub memberships around. Maretus is also a trail-blazer in the Moxie community and has received the second largest grant in the Moxie Retro1. I trust him.
Then afaik there is also Niko on the core team who has 6K followers on Farcaster who received the third biggest Moxie grant. He is an active member in the channel I am hosting called Farcasterland. I trust him, too.
Of course you shouldn't trust, but verify:
CA: 0x39e6eed85927e0203c2ae9790edaeb431b8e43c1
Dextools shows a healthy 50K liquidity and the plan is to lock it in early December.
Token distribution looks healthy with Maretus holding 3.6% and Niko 2.9% on Thu 14th November 2024. I hold around 1% and there are a few other whales that are in a private group setting up all the plumbing for Dex, TG, CG application etc. The vibes are positive and mature, otherwise I wouldn't pay with my attention.
The best way to dive deeper and share your thoughts, ideas, critique, content and above all, your enthusiasm is to become a member of /byegary on Farcaster, follow the unfolding exit on X or join the TG. You can find all vital information on this temporary landing page.
Memetic Strategy
Like all great meme coins this meme coins is about community, creativity and content. This where we got to so far:
Check out the meme contest on Rounds and contribute your own to win some $BYEGARY
Play Wack-A-Gary the 2nd game from the team and earn $BYEGARY (you can play without owning any but you have to own 500K coins to win the prize. Gary Gamified
Listen to my AI-generated EMO song capturing the essence of the problem and our response (any fees will go into the team treasury for sundry expenses)
ByeGary's Endgame?
Speaking for myself, I want this meme coin to have some positive-sum game outcome when it has run its course. What if we created a DAO with a treasury of 1% of supply to fund grants for creators, educators and trainers to educate people with less financial literacy and you and me?
For my daydream to become serious opportunity we have to send this to a market cap between $5M and $10M. Steep uphill attention battle, but not a mission impossible? This Ponder Survey is just 2 hours old at the time of writing but the channel members think it could very well achieve this. Vote if you read this within the 24 hour period.
Call to action: your contribution?
These are loose ideas based on what I currently see might be valuable contributions:
Meme propagation: raid relevant tweets, or re-cast or re-tweed memes tagging the usual KOLs
Agentic Acceleration: which AI agents can we use to do outreach for us 24/7. Wanna build one?
Grassroots politics: get the attention from crypto advocates of #standwithcrypto
Time Square Flashmob: if we ran 15 second billboard ads on Time Square in NYC every hour for a day, how could we augment this with humans performing a flashmob, which can be filmed and send to news and media outlets?
Anthem: are you, or do you know proper musicians who want to make a proper theme song for the charts? Imagine people on Time Square or elsewhere chanting its refrain...
Games: create more funny games for people to find some release and relieve after years of terror
Podcasts: get Maretus on crypto pods or connect him to podcasters or youtubers who want to promote this super early opportunity to their followers just like it happened today on Thinking Crypto (full episode)
Wormhole: if you are deep into Solana and this satiric project resonates, why not create a wormhole for the existing token?
Endgame: how could we turn this fun project into something with a lasting legacy like funding education? DM me or Maretus
XYZ???
