"The greatest achievement of any entrepreneur is philanthropy."

Pierce Alexander Lilholt single-handedly spearheaded the CYPSE initiative. Let's be honest. This new cryptocurrency isn't the fastest. It doesn't have new features that are going to revolutionize the block chain. Half of all of the CYPSE were premined, which might make this cryptocurrency look like the value of the currency was cut in half before it was worth anything. But, half of zero is still zero.
This new cryptocurrency has one thing that makes it special. CYPSE has the sincere desire of Pierce Alexander Lilholt to do good in the world backing it. If you believe that crypto has the power to do good, support it, and trust that Pierce Alexander Lilholt will make every CYPSE of that 10 Million CYPSE earmarked for charitable and benevolent causes be frugally maximized for the ultimate potential for good in the world. When this cryptocurrency establishes a strong value, CYPSE will be a powerful force for positive changes.
My name is Pierce Alexander Lilholt, and I made this cryptocurrency because I want to keep it real. I really want to be a philanthropist, but I don't have boodles of moola. So, I really want to spend other people's money to help those in need and to ensure the habitability of our environment. I can't make enough money to help everyone on my own. CYPSE might be my one shot to be a billionaire philanthropist. Just because it is a long shot, that doesn't mean it isn't worth doing. It is a shot, and I'd rather believe in a long shot than give up. Even if this doesn't work, I still won't give up. I will try the next thing whether this works or not. I will keep trying and seeing what works! Is that real enough for you?
I tried mining Bitcoin using an old laptop. Long story, I managed to turn an old laptop into a bitcoin miner. I mined a whopping: $ Less Than Ten Cents. Despite the minuscule return, I realized it was possible to generate money from mining. While mining costs and electricity costs are always in competition, I also considered that this is no get rich quick scheme. Mining cryptocurrency takes a considerable amount of work, and it is incredibly risky when you realize how much power it takes to generate (in this case) Bitcoin. You could easily mine Bitcoin and pay more for the electricity to run your mining rig than you would make from harvesting your earnings. After realizing that mining was not a viable option without a solar farm and millions invested in mining rigs, I decided that the next best step would be to create my own cryptocurrency.
I generated an ERC-20 token with the help of a Github contributor. The first cryptocurrency I made was called LILHOLTCOIN. I verified the creation of the token through Etherscan.io. Success! The only problem with it was that it was launched on the Rinkeby Testnet which is essentially a testing environment. Seeing the successful implementation of the cryptocurrency through Rinkeby Testnet via Metamask, it only made sense to create a real cryptocurrency on Ethereum Mainnet in the same manner.
After acquiring some real deal ETH cryptocurrency and transferring it to Metamask to use as GAS to propel the CYPSE platform into existence, I obviously tried to get the best deal. And, after many failed attempts to lower the amount of ETH necessary to launch CYPSE, eventually I found the right amount of ETH to get the CYPSE contract deployed and live. I checked Etherscan.io and BUSINESS IS BOOMING!
So, why did I do this, and why would anyone believe in this cryptocurrency? Well, first of all, nobody understands cryptocurrencies. I could have told you anything, and you would have believed it. I just told you exactly how I did it. For me, it was child's play, but it no doubt yielded an unimpressive cryptocurrency in terms of innovation. But, I'm not here to invent new cryptocurrencies. I just want to make people think differently about money. CYPSE is a cool idea.
I really believe that people want to be good. I do believe that the reason people aren't donating to benevolent funds is because people need to spend money on their own interests to make their own lives better. Who can argue with someone wanting to spend their money on making their own lives better? Or their family or children's lives better?
I believe the reason people aren't donating to charities is because they want to make the lives of the people in their own piece of the world better. If people could get rich by helping themselves and helping people around the world at the same time, everyone would be philanthropists. That is the point of this cryptocurrency. That is as real as it gets.
I believe money motivates people. I believe if money can corrupt someone, then money can make someone do good too. I believe if people can get rich helping other people with little to no extra effort, people will change to be slightly less selfish and fabulously more rich.
If you look at the value of something like Bitcoin that was once worth about 6 cents to almost twenty thousand dollars per Bitcoin, you don't need to be a data scientist to realize the enormous change in value of just ONE Bitcoin. One CYPSE probably isn't going to be worth the same as a Bitcoin tomorrow. CYPSE probably isn't going to be the new Bitcoin. But! With the support of individuals, CYPSE could be something entirely different and totally awesome for a completely different reason!
I don't respect people for having money. I respect people who use the power of their money to make powerful changes in the world that have positive benefits for people other than themselves. I don't claim to know how to spend people's money better than others, but I would do my best to try to use it for the greatest good. Even if CYPSE saved one life or ended some suffering, I would consider it a massive success. If you are still not convinced that anyone else would invest in a currency dedicated to the greater good, then by all means continue to support the use of the currencies of governments and banks.
When I am writing this, CYPSE are worthless. It is hard to imagine that it could be worth untold fortunes, but if I didn't try to use my skills to multiply my power to help, then I would have given up on my belief that people are good when given the opportunity. Just because this could fail... It wasn't a reason for me not to do it.
Real recognizes real.
