It Gets Hard Sometimes, But There’s No Quit In This ALEIN

None of this is new to me, I had one in 2020–21, I have one now. But this journey of being a project developer backed by your own cryptocurrency token is hard. It’s always hard when you have a real project but I bet you if I just had a memecoin, no utility, nothing backing it, the whole world would have aped in. Just the reality of the cryptocurrency industry and then they look at my project with low liquidity and they say this isn’t a good project.
But it is! Not everyone has a ton of money to get their idea off the ground instantly, it has to be built from the ground up. Piece by piece, brick by brick. That’s what I’m building. Like I’ve said before, this was an idea since 2024. In between that time and now lots has happened butt what didn’t happen was me asking investors for presale money or anyone for anything. Running into a lump sum of money to market/add a bunch of initial liquidity didn’t happen, but I still found a way to make the ALEIN Ascension Protocol a reality. I thought long and hard and figured out having taxes on the token was the right choice, 4% to marketing and 2% to help grow the liquidity pool. Guaranteed sustainability.
Well for the tax to work and provide for the project, we need investors. After the first week, those investors have started to wane off and now I find myself scratching my head. What am I doing wrong? Am I the problem? Is the website not good enough? No, I know it’s because of the low liquidity and it sucks because this project is good. There’s utility, there’s memes, there’s an awesome theme with ALEIN spelled wrong purposely because we’re different from other tokens that had the ALIEN name. We just can’t seem to grow a community.
I feel like I’m doing everything that I can to make these initial investors feel like they’re in the right project, that I’m not letting them down, that they’re not alone. I’m putting in 19 hours a day on the project. I put my business on the backburner because I believe in this so much and it’s a passion. This is my passion, Web3 Gaming, cryptocurrency, a real project with it’s own identity doing it’s thing. This is what I live for. And I know I’m not doing anything wrong, a lack of money/funding is holding the project back so one day we’ll get there.
For now, I continue to foucs, maybe 19 hours a day isn’t enough and I need to go to 22 hours a day spent working on $ALEIN. I’m kidding, I’m just saying I will work harder, figure out new avenues to get where we want to be, try new things, speak to new people and figure it out. Play 2 Earn goes live in November, Staking in December, work towards meeting the timelines set and don’t disappoint. At some point we’re gonna catch on, even if it’s in a year or two, hopefully not, but no matter what or how long it takes, I promise I will never stop actively working on this project every single day.
We are ALEIN, We will ASCEND!
