about_shmc
the origin story
There's a podcast host who cannot stop talking about Bitcoin. Fixed supply this, digital gold that, 21 million forever. Episode after episode. You know the type. You might BE the type.
So one listener thought: fine. If he loves hard-capped, cryptographically-scarce digital assets so much... why doesn't he have one with his own face on it?
And instead of just making the joke, he built it. A real token, on the real Solana mainnet, with a hard cap enforced by the same math Bitcoin uses. One million Shmuelicoins. Not one more, ever. The mint key was destroyed on launch day: publicly, verifiably, permanently.
The host found out the same way you did: live on air.
# is it a joke? yes. is it real? also yes. that's the whole point. welcome to crypto.
the mission
- Make crypto tangible. Thousands of people hear about tokens every week. SHMC holders get to actually own one, feel the wallet experience, and verify a hard cap on a real explorer, all without spending a shekel.
- Reward the real ones. The airdrop goes to people who actually listened. Proof-of-listening beats proof-of-work.
- Honor the bit. Some communities have inside jokes. Ours is on the blockchain forever.
the team
Uri Follman :: founder / chief coin officer
Automation professional. Builder of things that work the first time they run live. Conceived, engineered and launched Shmuelicoin end-to-end: token program, hard-cap mechanics, IPFS metadata, airdrop infrastructure, and this site. If it runs, he probably automated it.
