🧵 It's the weekend so let's have some fun. It's #memecoin season! Incredibly I've actually made money on a #dogcoin. That coin is @RoganInu $MRI. It's an incredible experience seeing the power of #crypto to rapidly mobilise a hive mind and create something unique 👨‍🦲🐶🥊 1/13

Despite success in #DeFi I've always lost money on #memecoins. I saw @ChadCaff and @chirocrypto mentioning $MRI. Good guys who put in the work, share gems with followers early, and work hard for their bags. I thought @joerogan narrative, dogs, @ufc... yeah that could work. 2/13

The marketing angle was clear, but through the team and power of the community a greater utility emerged... leveraging the treasury to support underpaid fighters. As a massive #boxing and #mma fan I love that. These guys are warriors and the pay structure is very top heavy. 3/13

Unlike most coins this utility became a reality within 48 hours of launch. OG @koreanjewcrypto (and others) jumped on board and started contacting fighters fighting on the #UFC271 card. Each fighter was offered $5K in $ETH + $5K for a ring shoutout

Respected #MMA journalist @arielhelwani has shown his support too as has legendary coach @John_Kavanagh! And the @RoganInu cause of #FightingForFighters has taken off and started to trend.

Many fighters responded and have been paid! There are partnerships with @Blood_Diam0nd @Kymatrix @DerekBrunson @DobsonUFC @laura_sanko @TheGreat155 @Jaredvanderaa and possibly more (hard to keep up it's moving so fast). All paid up and ready to fight with boosted earnings! 6/13

The cherry on the cake is a community voted fight of the night prize with the winner receiving $50,000 in $ETH. That's no small amount for some of these fighters and a great way to involve the $MRI community. Will be staying up for #UFC271 for sure! 7/13

Additional utility for $MRI has been added through a partnership with @MysticBets_ enabling holders to use their $MRI to bet on #UFC271 and win more $MRI (or lose it too I guess)!

And it looks like they're cooking up some pretty sick merch as well. Would not be surprised to see a #UFC fighter sponsored by @RoganInu in the near future and decked out in branded training gear. 9/13

So yes I've made money here and riding the euphoria but for me this is what is incredible about #crypto. The ability to mobilise people and money from all walks of life to do something powerful and meaningful in double quick time. This does not happen anywhere else! 10/13

It's close to my heart as irl I'm involved with a tech business around mobilising decentralized structures to redefine philanthropy... and in 12 months we've not achieved nearly as much influence and excitement as @RoganInu has managed in a few days. Incredible to watch. 11/13

Will we hear @RoganInu mentioned on pay-per-view this weekend? Are fighters contractually allowed to shoutout non-sanctioned sponsorships? I don't know, but I don't think it matters. Momentum has started and it's a matter of time. Who knows maybe @joerogan will take note! 12/13

If you want to learn more see below. Disclaimer: I bought in very early, took profit, it's a free ride. Could go to zero, or could moon, who knows? Not me! But I'm here for it and these experiences are what make #crypto so much fun.
