I need some TEST BNB on the testnet — but the official faucet only gives 0.3 BNB, which isn’t enough for what I’m testing.
Can anyone help me out?
Here’s my address:

Appreciate it! 🙏

Why are people hating on @a1lon9 ?
He built the most successful launchpad in the world. His project stands as one of the most profitable in the entire Web3 space—generating over $1 million a day from @pumpdotfun and their AMM.
His vision is to create the most engaging and sustainable ecosystem in crypto.
If he can raise the necessary funds, we should be supporting him, not criticizing.
Why community driven? Why social media first?
We're building @Claynosaurz for a new future.
Authentic brands are winning, while rigid PR-driven marketing is falling behind.
This is a shift, not from old brands to new brands, but for how big brands will emerge in the future.
First, lets just set the stage. Its worth understanding why Coke, McDonalds, and Nike are all built differently from a brand strategy POV.
Coca-Cola is one of the first companies to ever really market a product as we do today. They handed out coupons and created branded wall signs in the early 20th century. Their slogan? "Delicious and Refreshing".
This is really straight-to-the-point marketing. Here's our product. It's good. Try it. There's no need to think about consumer stickiness or competition. Just get people to try something new.
Post WW2, there's a TV boom. Now branding goes from "here's a good product" to telling stories.
McDonald's is built off of strong TV campaigns in the '60s and '70s. The slogans this time? "McDonald's is your kind of place" & "You deserve a break today". These don't tell a story, but they do speak to a larger calling, a human element - take a load off, enjoy yourself - and they say nothing about the product itself. A big big change.
Then throughout the 70s to the turn of the millennium, the breadth and depth of marketing campaigns becomes wider and deeper. TV, print media, product placement, packaging, radio, all begin to evolve at pace. Cohesive stories that actually touch the consumer in some way begin to birth successful brands.
Nike's "Just do it" is perhaps the best slogan of all time. Backed by signing great athletes to wear their gear. Micro-stories told in TV commercials, and product placement in iconic movies. All cohesive, and all of it speaks to the consumer - you can be an athlete, a competitor, a goal scorer, just do it.
These brands built their foundations before the information age. An age where the breadth and depth of marketing opportunities becomes exponentially larger.
A TV commercial competed with almost nothing when it aired. Today we've got phones, TVs, computers, tablets, all of which have dozens of apps that the user can switch between at a whim. Consumers have choices.
Imagine launching a new drink today, handing someone a coupon and telling them its "Refreshing and Delicious". It won't work. Does that mean Coca-Cola is going away. No. It's already a brand, one we grew up with and our parents grew up with and their parents grew up with. But new brands, they can't rely on the antiquated strategies.
What works today? Constant brand touch points with the audience. Consumers have choice all the time, nobody wants to watch a commercial or stare at the side of a bus, sure you can put it there, but they'll move on. Turn on their phone. Change the channel.
Successful branding is built upon consumers choosing to be there.
MrBeast creates content that people want to see, often and on repeat, and by choice. His Feastibles brand has a very simple marketing pitch - its mine, so buy it. So long as the chocolate is good and competitively priced, people buy it. Its a translation of the popularity of an authentic individual into a product.
Why does authenticity matter? Because the consumer is ever-more intelligent and does not want to be sold a fake story of perfection. The modern consumer wants the human element. The reality. The perfect brand, we've found out, is not perfect - sneakers tied together by children, soaps filled with chemicals, foods processed and packed with preservatives. We do not trust "perfect".
People are OK with the good and the bad. They just want to know. They want to connect and understand and make choices themselves, rather than being fed PR-perfect-bullsh*t.
We are entering an era of transparency. It will evolve from a few one-off success cases, to eventual institutional level success. The level of authenticity we see with influencers like MrBeast, Logan Paul, or KSI is merely a starting point. The next phase of this will come at a collective level, rather than individual.
For Claynosaurz, this means we share what we are doing, we explain our bigger decisions and our thinking around them. This goes from creative to business and the thoughts of the individuals within the company too. The next big brands of our time will be the one's that don't attempt to be perfect at the cost of transparency, by sweeping the dirty secretes under the rug. Instead, they'll make decisions openly and explain the pros and cons, for there are always tradeoffs, and on average, those decisions will be good, and fandom will come, by choice. And when an error occurs, it will be remedied openly, and communication with fans will be immediate and honest.
The next big brands will take everyone for a ride together. Ups and downs for everyone. Morally correct, as agreed upon by the whole.
