Working hard to make $DOG available on more exchanges soon

Listing conversations are different now:

1. $DOG has "proven" itself by maintaining the title of #1 Bitcoin memecoin for over a year and is no longer viewed as a "risky listing"

2. Kraken's $DOG spot listing gives us tier-1 level validation that "warms the waters" for other CEXs to jump in also known as the "domino effect" (no listing manager has ever gotten fired for not being the first to list an asset but they can get fired for being "late" or last" to a trend like Bitcoin memecoins)

3. Crypto sentiment is once again on the rise and there is a general "excitement" around crypto that historically has translated into lots of new listings (during "down only" periods in crypto many top exchanges will "freeze" new listings which make conversations go "cold" however this is definitely no longer the case)

I am very optimistic that a "win-win situation" can be created with exchanges where:

- Their users are happy that they have access to buy the "top Bitcoin memecoin"

- Their marketing team is happy about the organic crypto native brand activation with the $DOG Army (loudest memecoin community on X)

- Their growth team is happy about the new user sign ups and deposits that come with supporting a new asset category (Bitcoin memecoins)

- Their business team is happy about the increased volume and revenue from trading fees

And the best part is that all of this can be achieved without paying listing fees as was demonstrated with Kraken's listing of $DOG

Many of these conversations are at different stages and I am making zero promises however things are looking healthy again and all that I ask of the $DOG Army is that you are as loud as possible so that every tier-1 CEX sees that $DOG deserves to be given a fair chance!

Some late night thoughts post $DOG's Kraken listing 🧵

Prior to the $DOG airdrop I spent all of my time obsessing over a single question:

What makes a memecoin valuable?

I came to the conclusion that there were three fundamentals that a memecoin needed to succeed:

1. Community
2. Narrative
3. Liquidity

Notice that none of these have anything to do with price and none of them can be achieved in a day

In fact they each take years of nurturing and even then you will fail to be even half as good at them as BTC is

I knew that if we reverse engineered what made BTC so successful then focused on nailing those fundamentals then $DOG's price would work itself out in the end

This is why the day-to-day $DOG price changes don't mean anything to me

$DOG's price going up and down is exciting and the roller coaster of emotions that comes with volatility is a critical ingredient that makes memecoins so entertaining but it is not the most important thing

Price fluctuation is a hype tool that gets people to pay attention but it is not the real focus or real progress

Insiders and market makers can financially engineer short term pumps but what is the point if in the end instead of going to the moon everyone gets rugged?

I don't care if $DOG's price goes up an down a gazillion times, all that matters is that we achieve our singular goal of going to the moon

And to go to the moon we have to wake up every single day and build on the fundamentals of community, narrative, and liquidity

Today we made massive progress with $DOG's liquidity

Today $DOG was spot listed on a highly reputable, US based, tier-1 CEX

This listing not only creates an easy and trusted onramp to $DOG for 330 million Americans but it also adds legitimacy to $DOG for hnw individuals and institutions

Understandably many of you have been think about today's $DOG listing on @krakenfx in terms of it being a catalyst for short term price action and maybe it could have been but that was never what today was actually about

Today was about $DOG taking a major step forward by adding a fundamental piece of infrastructure that is required for going to the moon

The way you achieve very big things is by breaking them up into many little things:

1. Set goals
2. Achieve goals
3. Set more goals

Our job is not done

This was only $DOG's first tier-1 CEX listing

But today we achieved a goal that we set as a community over a year ago which was to get listed on a tier-1 CEX without paying a listing fee or providing market makers

Many called us crazy for thinking this was possible and maybe they were right

It took 14 months and an insane amount of effort but in the end we proved a few very important things:

1. Decentralization isn't dead and you can fair launch a coin with the same ethos that Satoshi Nakamoto did 16 years ago

2. Insiders haven't completely captured the crypto industry yet and you do not have to bend the need and participate in their corrupt practices

3. Retail still has a voice and there are good companies and people out there who will support and treat retail fairly

Today was never about $DOG's price, it was about something much greater

I look forward to continue waking up every single day and building on $DOG's fundamentals with you all

It will not be easy but in the end it will be worth it

$DOG go to the moon!

I AM VERY EXCITED TO SHARE THAT AFTER SHOWING UP EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR 433 DAYS THE $DOG ARMY HAS FINALLY EARNED A SPOT LISTING ON A TIER-1 CEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$DOG DEPOSITS ARE NOW OPEN ON @KRAKENFX AND TRADING WILL BEGIN TOMORROW

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS MOMENT CANNOT BE OVERSTATED

UNLIKE OTHER MEMECOINS THAT SET ASIDE A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THEIR SUPPLY TO PAY CEX LISTING FEES AND MARKET MAKERS 100% OF THE $DOG SUPPLY WAS AIRDROPPED FOR FREE

$DOG IS A FULLY DECENTRALIZED 100% VOLUNTEER EFFORT WITH NO TEAM OR TEAM TREASURY

GIVEN THIS I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE KRAKEN TEAM FOR SUPPORTING THE FREE & FAIR MOVEMENT BY NOT REQUIRING A LISTING FEE OR MARKET MAKERS

ADDITIONALLY I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE KRAKEN TEAM FOR BELIEVING IN $DOG, THE RUNES PROTOCOL, AND A FUTURE WHERE THE MOST VALUABLE FUNGIBLE TOKENS IN THE WORLD ARE SECURED BY THE LARGEST AND MOST DECENTRALIZED BLOCKCHAIN IN THE WORLD

WHETHER YOU HELD YOUR $DOG SINCE THE AIRDROP OR BOUGHT IN RECENTLY, YOU THE $DOG ARMY HAVE NEVER STOPPED BELIEVING IN $DOG AND ARE WHY $DOG EARNED THIS

IT IS HARD FOR ME TO PUT INTO WORDS HOW SPECIAL THIS MOMENT IS

I LOVE YOU ALL 🧡

IF YOU HOLD $DOG PLEASE SUPPORT KRAKEN BY SIGNING UP FOR AN ACCOUNT AND DEPOSITING $DOG RIGHT NOW

$DOG GO TO THE MOON!!!!!!!!!!!

[Leonidas 🧡 $DOG @LeonidasNFT]

Kraken $DOG listing is confirmed and is coming soon

I'm continuing to work to secure more tier-1 CEX listings for $DOG but can't share any specific details for obvious reasons

It has not been easy given exchanges try to extort you for tokens via "marketing budgets", "listing fees", and "market makers"

Despite that I am very proud that the $DOG Army does not participate in any of these forms of corruption that ultimately hurt retail and perpetuate the cycle of rugs

Exchanges should curate the best tokens for their users to buy and stop selling out their users as exit liquidity for whichever low cap memecoin scam will send them the most tokens

This is why the $DOG Army must continue to show up every single day and fight

There are millions of real people in the future who will never even know that we were the ones who helped them who are counting on us

And we must also not forget to lift up the exchanges who care about their users and support our movement by listing $DOG

Thank you all for your patience and unwavering support

I am proud of the progress that we have made but even more excited about the direction that things are heading in

$DOG go to the moon!

Proposal for @krakenfx to add $DOG to their rear wing sponsorship on the Williams Racing F1 car

CC: @arjunsethi, @Lou_Frang, @mayurgupta77, @pdimitrakos, @matthewbarby

$DOG operates under a CC0 license which encourages companies to leverage the $DOG meme with zero IP restrictions

By setting aside 10% of the space on the rear wing of the Williams Racing F1 car for the $DOG meme it would bring increased awareness and attention to the 90% Kraken logo thus creating a "win win" scenario for both Kraken and the $DOG Army

Additionally, this brand activation would strengthen the bond between Kraken and the $DOG Army resulting in more sign ups, deposits, volume, and fees for Kraken's crypto exchange product

If implemented the $DOG Army commits to spreading the awareness of Kraken's F1 sponsorship to a crypto native audience

Please consider this a formal proposal

Sincerely,
$DOG Army

The story behind the most fairly distributed memecoin in history 🧵

It is very natural to have skepticism when you hear about a “free and fair” memecoin like $DOG given the rampant fraud and scamming in crypto so I encourage everyone not to trust but to verify what I am about to say

$DOG was born out of a dream that Bitcoin could learn from the shortcomings of other ecosystems and have a culture that accrued value fairly and transparently to the people who deserve it the most rather than lining the pockets of KOLs, VCs, CEXs, market makers, the team, and other insiders who lie to your face

To achieve this vision and to get $DOG to where it is today thousands of people had to come together to donate their time and capital

100% of the $DOG supply was airdropped for free with no team allocation and we refuse to participate in the corrupt practices of paying CEX listings fees, doing paid promotions, or hiring market makers so the only way to succeed was to raise an army

This story starts in early 2024 with the Runestone Ordinals NFT collection

100% of the supply of Runestones was airdropped for free to 112,383 early Ordinals supporters (one per address)

Then several months later 100% of the supply of $DOG was airdropped for free to Runestone holders (889,806 $DOG tokens per Runestone held)

To ensure the fairness of the airdrop thousands of people had discussions for several weeks in a public forum about how the distribution algorithm should be structured

These discussions were fully transparent, have been preserved, and can be viewed in the Runestone Discord

Ultimately the community came to a consensus that the fairest possible algorithm that we could come up with was to airdrop 1 Runestone to every address that held at least 3 non-text-based Ordinals inscriptions on a retroactive snapshot date that was set to a date prior to the idea of Runestone and the pre-Runes meta starting so that it couldn’t have been farmed or gamed

The decision to airdrop only one Runestone per address regardless of how valuable your inscriptions were or what collections you held is one of the things that we did that I am the most proud of

It was a statement that regardless of if you were rich or poor, if you made the highly contrarian decision to show up and support Bitcoin when it needed you the most, you got a Runestone just like everyone else

The algorithm was intentionally kept very simple so that anyone could understand it in plain English and know that there wasn’t any sort of shady code that favored anybody

The algorithm was open-sourced and can be viewed on the fairdrop-addresses GitHub repo

After the algorithm was decided a group of public, volunteer, trusted, independent verifiers (@gm7t2, @lfg, @OrdData, @_BitPunks_, and an anon dev) each implemented and ran it on their own and compared the list of addresses generated with each other

Once we had a list of addresses that everyone agreed on several companies and developers (@okx, @lfg, @OrdData, and @_BitPunks_) volunteered to build and publish multiple address checker tools so that everyone could see if their address would receive a Runestone

The airdrop algorithm was not perfect as no such algorithm is possible but a lot of people tried really really hard to make it as fair as possible and the general consensus is that based on all of the anecdotal evidence that people shared that they received a Runestone that was worth more than they made in an entire year of working that we did a pretty kickass job

When it came to doing the actual airdrop the team at @ordinalsbot volunteered developer resources to execute it asking for nothing in return

Runestone was a true free airdrop and there was no sneaky claim process where a $5 fee would be charged or anything like that

112,383 Runestones were directly sent out to the list of addresses

Performing an airdrop of this scale on Bitcoin was unprecedented and very expensive and would not have been possible without the 10.25 BTC donated by @_BuoyantCapital, @cellmejiwa, @btcordinal, @HoneyBadgersBtc, @TheWizardsOfOrd, @MerlinLayer2, @BitmapTech, @raresatseeker, @runealpha_btc, @_BitPunks_, @OrdinalBlockOut, @ArtOnInternet, @SeizeCTRL, @lfg, @fomojis, and @okaybears to cover network fees

These donors were not promised any promotion and received no extra tokens in return, these were true donations from people who wanted to support the mission

It would not have been possible to mine the largest block in Bitcoin’s history or do an airdrop of this size without their support and we should all be eternally greatful for them

Additionally, two exceptionally talented artists @cl_art_studio and @0xfar donated their time and energy to create the Runestone child and Runestone parent art that have since become iconic in crypto culture

It is true that many people received more than one Runestone because they had multiple wallets and it is true that in a few cases, people reported receiving 25+ Runestones however given how abnormal it would have been to have had 25+ addresses each with 3+ JPEGs in them this was very rare

I for example received 9 Runestones (less than 0.01% of the supply) however this was because I was a very avid Ordinals collector for the entire first year of the protocol

I have never bought or sold a single Runestone and have given several away

The accusation that the only reason I participated in any of this and have posted about Runestone and $DOG every day for the past year and a half is because I hold less than 0.01% of the supply is very dumb imo

If I had wanted to make this a centralized project and taken 1%, 2%, or even 5% of the supply nobody would have probably cared that much given that in contrast the meta on Solana at the time was for influencers to either do a presale for 100% of the supply or snipe 50% of the supply on launch

The reason I wasn’t treated special in the algorithm has nothing to do with me not wanting to make money (I am not anti-capitalistic and don’t hate money) it is because I believed in a vision for a truly fair launch coin with no premine just like Bitcoin and I knew that that vision was greater than any single person

I also knew that it was critical for our movement that nobody including myself was above the ethos of free & fair

And now free & fair is something that will live on in the culture of Runestone and $DOG forever which you cannot put a price on

Runestone and $DOG are for the people and our actions not words are why this movement is resonating everyone

People are tired of extractive NFT mints and rigged memecoin launches and are opting out with Runestone and $DOG

When it came time to etch the $DOG Rune we had to compete to get the lowest Rune number possible in what effectively became an on-chain auction in block 840,00

Thanks to 4,427 community members who donated 2.9 BTC and received nothing special in return we were able to secure Rune #3 for $DOG in the 5th highest fee Bitcoin transaction in history

Then @gm7t2 volunteered his time to execute the $DOG airdrop and once he had finished everything was complete

The only thing left to do was spread $DOG and our ethos however because $DOG has no team nor team treasury it was up to the $DOG Army to determine its own fate

$DOG intentionally uses a CC0 license which means that the $DOG IP is owned by everyone and there are zero limitations on how the IP can be used

This has allowed people to create both for-profit and not-for-profit initiatives to educate about and spread $DOG

So far people have created art, lotteries, plushies, websites, podcasts, magazines, X accounts, IRL meetups, clothing lines, PFP collections, telegram groups, TikTok accounts, and more

100% of the future of $DOG is in the hands of the $DOG Army so even things like websites and X accounts have had to be created by volunteers in the community given there are not any official ones

Other projects talk about decentralization but $DOG lives it

For example, the $DOG booth at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas right now and the $DOG party last night were put on by two community members who are building with $DOG

@DogOfBitcoin is run by @und3rdog who yes is a $DOG whale but he had to buy in like everyone else

@CarbonApp_io is a small bootstrapped startup that is building an app for the $DOG Army

I didn’t ask either of them to spend their time, energy, or capital to throw parties, and build on $DOG’s IP like this but they chose to do it on their own accord because the CC0 platform and mission of $DOG resonated deeply with them

$DOG has no marketing team so $DOG-fluencers like @cryptolution, @und3rdog, @MrKeyway, @Relentless_btc, @joopooranski, @dogdamassa, @TheOG_General, @CoinsWeb3, and many more have had to step up and make sure that our message is heard

I still hold less than 0.01% of the supply of $DOG tokens (that I was airdropped) and have never bought or sold a single $DOG token on purpose because I don’t want the narrative to shift somehow to being about how much money I have made or people speculating if I am going to dump, etc.

$DOG is about ushering in a new era of freedom in the world by being stewards of the Bitcoin technology that Satoshi Nakamoto gifted us which means that we have to do things in a way that would make him proud

Other blockchains can be the face of massive scams, corruption, insider information, and VCs pumping and dumping on your head but we can't let it happen on Bitcoin

I will put the $DOG Army up against any deca-billion dollar crypto company any day of the week and I pity anyone who tries to get in our way

We are decentralized, we are on the right side of history, and we are on a mission to go to the moon

If you are tired of getting rugged and scammed or deep down know that when you are posting about a token that you are really just working for someone else’s bags then it is time to buy some $DOG, join the $DOG Army, and be part of a movement that is greater than yourself

[Leonidas 🧡 $DOG @LeonidasNFT]

I just analyzed the social performance of the top 15 memecoins and I can now say without a doubt that the $DOG Army is the strongest memecoin community in the world!

$DOG has double the mindshare and double the posts of any other memecoin in existence despite having zero tier-1 CEX spot listings and only a $538M market cap

This is the power of decentralization

This is what happens when you airdrop 100% of the supply of a memecoin to 70K normal people in a volunteer initiative that had no team allocation instead of lining the pockets of CEXs, KOLs, VCs, and market makers

This is the result when you make your IP CC0 instead of having a corporate entity that restricts it

The $DOG Army shows up every single day to fight for $DOG because the $DOG Army is $DOG

When you post about $DOG you aren't enriching insiders you are supporting a bottom up movement that supported you

Analyze the graphic below for yourself and come to your own conclusion

Many of us already have and we know what is about to happen

$DOG go to the moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
