part 1: The beginning
Who doesn't love this cute little pygmy hippopotamus? I am normally a squirrel person but for some reason the universe came along and it assigned Moo Deng to me.
I’ve been a supporter of memes and the meme currency ecosystem for many years, In the past I’ve cut my teeth on projects like Whackd, Coco, Spotty, recently Sun Lion, and lo and behold, this little lady comes in and gives me reason to do it yet again.
You see I had a career building a ce-Fi bank, having studied all the aspects of decentralized finance and implementing the opposite, I felt like memes were the fine line where people can build on ideas without the threat of the powers that be ruining a good idea. While others condescend and look down on the meme ecosystem — it actually proves a living example of where lots of smart people who can do a whole lot, are waiting on the sidelines because of bad government policy and giants larping on who is going to dominate the future of finance.
My friend sent me a link to a picture of Moo Deng, and I was compelled. I thought how meme-able it was and wondered where the shitcoin was. I found the Solana token, bought some, and quickly realized something. I had much more to offer of myself to Moo Deng and more importantly Thailand, so I decided I would look for an alternate way to bring some additional life, personal merit and “greng jai” to a world which really needs it.
One thing I noticed is that on the Moo Deng Solana token, there are no real talking points in which asian culture is dominant. I decided that I’d have a stronger voice if I did it myself. I decided I would find a token, hold a community takeover, and rally some friends into getting early support which wont be sold at a whim, allowing me more time to operate such a valuable thing.
Memes can either have a life of 7 days or they can be forever, and to be frank, Muu Deng is from Thailand and her likeness will represent this beautiful country for years to come. Therefore, it quickly became obvious that my job in this is to try and instill Thai Culture and even some values to the Moo Deng message, and build it in a way that it sticks around.
In the coming days, I will pay Moo Deng a visit and try to get some media together as well as look for other friends of Moo Deng who can help with this mission.
The token I chose to adopt this mission with is the very first Moo Deng token on Tron, and currently bonding on sunpump.meme
The token metrics are good and when I found it over 90% of the token was available in the pool. My friends and I have allocated a bunch of it and we are pleased to have a truly proper Moo Deng in our lives.
Part 2 — We visited the zoo…
I will now change the person from “I” to “We” because I cannot take all of the credit for the greatness our project is experiencing. I must shout out to all of our community for sticking to their guns, and making sure Moo Deng on Tron is included and also important in this story. By ourselves we are nothing. With others we are strong.
Khao Kheow Open Zoo and the Moo Deng Dynasty
Hi again, it’s me, and I wanted to thank you all for giving me the inspiration to write this second update. What a crazy week it’s been. The moo Deng story is continuing and a small family tree outlining the Moo Deng Dynasty has appeared:
Cousin: Uncle’s Son, the larger of our two other siblings. We helped Cousin get a listing contract on HTX with Uncle.
Brother: The smaller of our two other siblings. Brother actually made it to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo only two days after we went to say hi on Saturday, September 21, 2024. Excellent job, brother.
Uncle: This is Justin Sun. He is our uncle because our token was originally broadcasted on his chain, via sunpump.meme Unlike Cousin’s home chain there is a face behind Tron and it’s is Uncle Justin. It takes a very brave person to do this. we can learn a lot from him.
At this point my intentions have been entirely more successful than I could have ever imagined, and after Uncle tweeted about Moo Deng we have experienced such growth! And now we will push for the long haul and get everything up and running in tip top shape for the ultimate scaling operation that will take place during Bitcoin’s imminent bull run.
But any case, enough about the family dynasty, lets talk about our main attraction: Moo Deng!
The visit to the zoo was not disappointing. We took a taxi out of Bangkok and headed for the zoo. Once there we entered and headed straight to hippo world, but were first greeted by a Two Toed Sloth which came and “hung out with us”.
As we passed the regular hippos, we saw a crowd of about 200 people formed around what turned out to be Moo Deng’s pen. It was near midday, and Moo Deng was asleep behind her mom in the pool in their pen. Regardless, everyone was still fascinated at Moo Deng. There were so many cell phones and even professional cameras just hoping to get a clean photograph of her. After trying for about a half hour, we continued on through the zoo to see many other animals. Capybaras, Giraffes, Ostriches, Meerkats, Flamingoes, Orang Bengal Tigers, a Lion and his Lioness wife, Asiatic Bears, Rhinos, Zebras, penguins and Lots of birds. On our way back to the car we stopped by Moo Dengs pen again to try to capture some pictures and got a couple angles. We only got to see half of the zoo which was the crazy part. It covers roughly 200 acres in Sriracha, Thailand
The best pictures of Moo Deng comes from her keeper who has access to inside the pen. We wish to give the zoo and her keeper credit for the wonderful pictures they have shared on the internet. Our project will continue to try and help bring awareness to the Zoo internationally.
In any case, We are very grateful for everyone's support and desire to share Moo Deng. For the moment, we are building a better website and preparing graphics in order to make our token project scalable like the others.
