@RealCryptoFace I would use half to pay off the debt, and with the other half, I’d look for a product to sell via dropshipping. Maybe, over time, I’d manage to pay off the rest.
@AleiahLock Hi Thanks for info:) but
Can you explain why Heathrow? The distance from the sensor based on the Polymarket is about 30 kilometers, and also Central Park for NYC, which is more data for Kalshi.
@AnasBadami because the temperature in the place where the polymarket is based is completely different, it is probably a sensor located at the airport, and the model calculates something different
You have to pay mad respect to the man who’s been pushing the rune ecosystem 247 non stop.
People doubted him when he delayed the airdrop.
People questioned him when runes were down and he bridged $DOG to every other chain.
People said he’s NGMI when he proposed a free and fair launch and not gonna pay any listing fees.
But he never gave up.
He didn’t care about the FUD.
He just kept posting. Kept leading. Kept building.
He led the people and built one of the greatest memecoin communities in crypto history.
He gave us hope when Runes looked dead.
He made us believe again.
And now the culture is too loud to ignore.
We’re not done.
Because he showed us what conviction looks like.
Thank you @LeonidasNFT .
Kraken is now live with $DOG
The history and architecture behind Runestone and $DOG is one of the most principled experiments we’ve seen on Bitcoin, and it deserves to be properly understood.
On January 22, 2024, @LeonidasNFT proposed a fully open-source airdrop for the Ordinals community. The plan: no team share, no insiders, no misleading marketing, and only volunteer contributors. The goal was to reward 100,000 of the most active Ordinals users based purely on on-chain activity, capped at one per address. This was designed to prevent whales from dominating the supply and to encourage true decentralization.
By January 25, the Runestone concept was introduced. Its mission was to create a transparent, fair, and decentralized reward mechanism for those who helped build the Ordinals ecosystem in its earliest days. Snapshot block 826,600 was chosen to mark the one-year anniversary of Ordinals going live. The airdrop mechanics and eligibility criteria were discussed publicly and transparently in Discord.
On January 27, Bitcoin engineers were called upon to help compile a list of eligible addresses. To qualify, an address needed to have at least three inscriptions. All plain text and application/json files were excluded. The process was independently verified and the full eligibility list was published openly for community review.
On March 3, @LeonidasNFT announced the Runestone inscription itself, designed by artist @cl_art_studio, as the largest Bitcoin inscription ever, at 3.97 MB. It also became the largest Bitcoin block in history, pushing the limits of what’s possible in Bitcoin’s base layer.
On March 8, a single Runestone was sold at auction for 8 BTC ($544,713). All proceeds went to cover network fees for the upcoming Runestone airdrop. Nothing was taken by the team (there was no team).
On March 16, the Free and Fair airdrop was executed. 112,383 Runestones were distributed 1:1 to the eligible addresses. No preferential treatment. No allocations to insiders. Just a massive, historic on-chain giveaway.
On April 6, Leonidas introduced $DOG, the first memecoin to be natively built on the Runestone foundation. DOG was designed to be a cultural wedge, a fun, friendly onramp to help millions of new users discover and engage with Bitcoin. But this wasn’t just a meme, it was a cultural statement.
On April 20, at Bitcoin block 840,000, Casey Rodarmor’s Runes Protocol went live. For the first time, Bitcoin had an ultra efficient, UTXO native way to issue fungible tokens. DOG was one of the first Runes to be etched, marking a turning point for tokenization on Bitcoin. $DOG was etched as Rune #3 in a 1,258,757 sat/vB transaction, the 5th most expensive Bitcoin transaction in history.
And on April 24, 100 billion $DOG tokens were distributed evenly to over 75,000 holders of Runestone Ordinal NFTs. That’s 889,806 $DOG per eligible wallet. There was no ICO. No token sale. No listing fee. Just a pure community airdrop with 100% of the supply circulating from day one.
On June 4, $DOG hit a $980 million market cap without any Tier-1 centralized exchange listings. It became the largest memecoin on Bitcoin and a definitive proof point for what is possible when a project is built with fairness, transparency, and decentralization at its core.
[Important to read] To the community: I want to sincerely apologize for not articulating this earlier.
There’s been confusion about $DOG’s origins and structure, and that’s on me. The truth is, $DOG represents one of the most authentic, community-driven launches in Bitcoin history. It's not just another token; it’s a statement about what Bitcoin can support when innovation meets principle.
And today, I’m proud to share that $DOG is now listed on Kraken. We believe in supporting real, grassroots innovation. No insiders. No shortcuts. Just real usage and real community. $DOG is Bitcoin by design.
More to come.
Request to List $DOG - The Rune on Bitcoin on @krakenfx
Dear Kraken Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing today as an enthusiastic member of the cryptocurrency community and a long-time supporter of Kraken. I would like to express my strong interest in seeing Kraken list the $DOG token, the Rune on Bitcoin, and to outline why I believe it would be an excellent addition to your platform.
$DOG embodies the core ethos of decentralization, fairness, and transparency, principles which Kraken has championed since its inception. Here are some of the key reasons why $DOG deserves a place on your platform:
1. Free and Fair Movement of Value
$DOG operates on the Bitcoin network, the most secure and decentralized blockchain in the world. This token allows for trustless transactions that empower users to freely move value without the control of any central authority. The strong foundation of Bitcoin ensures that $DOG transactions are censorship-resistant, immutable, and free from centralized manipulation, making it a robust asset for users seeking true financial sovereignty.
2. Community-Driven Growth
The $DOG ecosystem is built by a passionate and rapidly growing community that shares a vision for financial fairness and freedom. With a strong commitment to decentralization, $DOG enables users to participate in a fair economic system where power is distributed, and no single entity holds control over its future. Listing $DOG would allow Kraken to further align with this vision and serve a growing demand from your user base.
3. Increasing Demand for Decentralized Solutions
In a market increasingly dominated by centralized platforms, $DOG offers a refreshing alternative that appeals to a new generation of crypto users seeking decentralized options. With the rapid adoption of Bitcoin’s layer solutions and a renewed focus on decentralized finance (DeFi), Kraken has the opportunity to position itself as a leader in supporting these innovations by listing a token that harnesses Bitcoin’s security and decentralization.
4. Aligned with Kraken’s Values
Kraken has always been a platform that champions security, transparency, and trust in the cryptocurrency space. By listing $DOG, Kraken would once again demonstrate its commitment to offering its users access to innovative and trustworthy assets, while staying true to its principles. As $DOG runs on Bitcoin, it brings with it the same level of security that your users expect from top-tier assets.
In conclusion, $DOG presents a unique opportunity for Kraken to support a project rooted in the Bitcoin network that aligns with the platform’s values of security, decentralization, and transparency. The $DOG community is growing rapidly, and I believe that Kraken would be an ideal exchange to support and nurture this movement.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I am confident that listing $DOG would be a positive and strategic addition to the Kraken platform, and I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Web3MemeGuy
