First, all glory to Jesus Christ. Without Him, nothing would be possible.
I have been in the memecoin space for over 5 years.
During that time, I was up a lot and down a lot.
I experienced the highs, the lows, the excitement, the disappointment — everything that comes with this space.
But after a few years, I realized something.
I had almost nothing to show for it.
The biggest problem I saw in the memecoin space wasn't necessarily the concept of memecoins themselves.
It was the people behind many of them, bad actors,
developers disappearing after a few hours, rugs.
Projects created only to extract as much money as possible before moving on to the next token.
I became tired of that cycle.
And that's how I got the idea for:
EMBRACE MASCULINITY - $Men
At the time, I was also going through a rough period personally.
I had gained a lot of weight. I went from around 95 kg to 114 kg.
For me, the name wasn't just going to be a cool name. but a reminder to become more disciplined.
To get myself back into shape.
To stop making excuses. To become stronger physically, mentally get closer to God.
THE LAUNCH
I launched $MEN on February 10, 2026, on Solana through Pump fun
We migrated, and then came the part that almost everyone in this space knows.
After migration, bots that snipped before migration sold which caused people who were there just for money also sold and we reached 2k market cap.
It looked like the project was finished. And honestly, under normal memecoin logic, it probably should have been.
There was no reason for anyone to keep building.
Except one.
I had chosen a project that was personal to me.
Looking back now, I actually see the $2K market cap as a blessing. It was painful.
But it was also the moment when $MEN started deserving its name.
If I had launched another random memecoin, I probably would have moved on.
I had already seen that cycle for years.
Launch.
Hype.
People buy.
People leave.
Developer leaves.
Next coin.
Repeat.
-
So when everyone else left, I stayed.
And I decided to put my own money behind the project.
I took money from every salary since creation and lock $MEN
I locked, as of the time of writing, approximately:
54% of the total supply is locked for 70 years.
I also burned approximately:
5% of the supply.
And today added extra 3700usd in liquidity.
I am not trying to build something that could simply disappear tomorrow.
I want to change lives.
THE FIRST PEOPLE WHO STAYED
Even though the original crowd had mostly disappeared, a few people remained.
I created a chat group with holders who were active.
And for a period of time, we were basically a four-person project.
I told them about my plan. Before biggest lock - 15% of the supply.
But even then, things didn't go perfectly.
One of the holders sold shortly before the planned lock.
He had already sold approximately 20 times over a two-month period, so I decided I wasn't going to take the risk of waiting for him to potentially buy back in immediately before the lock.
Another waited.
He stayed for about month before that point.
Then, immediately after I locked the supply using my salary and yearly bonus, he sold.
I STAYED
This is where the original idea behind $MEN became important again.
I had deliberately chosen something that was more than a one-day idea.
The project wasn't dependent on one person buying tomorrow.
It wasn't dependent on me inventing a new narrative every week.
The name itself gave me something to come back to.
Embrace Masculinity.
If I was going to tell other people to embrace discipline, I had to apply that discipline to myself first.
And while the token was going through its own journey, something much more important was happening in my personal life.
I LOST OVER 20 KG
I had started at around 114 kg.
I eventually managed to lose more than 20 kg, bringing myself back toward the weight where I wanted to be.
THERE IS STILL A LONG WAY TO GO
I want this to be one of the biggest projects in the world and we change lives.
WHY THE NAME MATTERS
Looking back, it couldn’t have happened better.
The chart tells the story and is perfect for Embrace Masculinity: real struggle, real pain, real work.
Any other way, it wouldn’t be real.
That's why I don't hate the $2K market cap period.
I actually appreciate it.
Because it forced me to answer a very simple question:
Would I continue building if nobody cared?
The answer was yes.
I continued.
I used my own salary.
I used my yearly bonus.
I bought supply.
I locked it.
I burned supply.
I kept developing the website.
I kept thinking about the product.
And I kept working on myself.
ALL GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST
And through all of this, one thing comes first.
All glory to Jesus Christ.
Without Him, nothing would be possible.
Web works again also updated few things
Chat: long-press actions on mobile, saved messages, search filters, live online dots
Performance: entry JS cut by ~135 KB, Supabase lazy-loaded
Offline sync: local edits stay correct until reconnect
Also preparing something big
There is no easy way: either you run from discipline and suffer all the time, or you face your demons and suffer because you want to, and get results from it
14 ranks. Initiate to Imperator.
Reaching the top — Imperator / Augustus — takes roughly 11 years of daily discipline.
The ladder is walked, not skipped.
Most never leave the bottom. The question isn't how fast you climb — it's whether you show up tomorrow. ⚔️
Updated:
On desktop, instead of sections being listed one after another, took inspiration from Twitter and now they are listed on the left side.
On mobile, for now, still one after another.
No worries, we are gonna make it.
How would it be if a coin called Embrace Masculinity would have an easy path without pain, doubt, patience, and lessons? It wouldn't be right.
