Dog Coins? Why is NO ONE Talking About Cat Coins??

After reading the recent post by @karinxxl, and their take on dog coins without fundamentals dominating crypto the past several months... I felt relieved to see a fellow Hivian, also questioning why they haven't aped into what many consider to be the great moon missions of 2020 & 2021. She inspired me to write about the kinds of coins I'm getting myself into. I mean, of course, I'm here to write blogs and have fun, but surely, I must be keeping my eye on some projects. There are a handful of coins I'm accumulating, but as of right now, two "low-market cap" coins that many people probably never heard of have caught my interest. They are both cat tokens, wait. THIS IS A THING? They are Catgirl Coin $CATGIRL and Luneko $LUNE, both available on Binance Smart Chain.

This whole ordeal of how I stumbled across these gems started a little while after recovering my Siacoin seed from 4 years ago. I got interested in cryptocurrency again, and it was time to get back to research. Now, I know an underwater basket weaving forum that struggles to count to 10 may not be the most reputable source, but /bizbros/ shilled me Chainlink... when it was well under a dollar, and I sold my whole stack, with my paper hands flapping in the wind. I was trying my best to forget that I had a lot of BNB, back at $5. That's when I saw the thread. Pink and adorable, a hot coin that's gonna blow up in the coming months, I clicked the link (always check your links guys!) and was brought to the cutest landing page for tokens and NFTs I have ever seen. Speaking of HOT, biz had me buying a fat stack of Holochain at 5 sats. WHY DO I KEEP SELLING??? Okay back to this awesome coin. Picture it. Anime catgirl waifus? Gacha blind boxes with terrible RNG, but ridiculous prizes? NFTs have a NYA~ score??? Say no more. In my mind, this was 100% going to be the answer to all the dog coins causing trouble in the crypto-sphere.

$CATGIRL BEING STONKS

Anything that sounds too good to be true usually is, but 2% of all transactions distributed to holders, an anti-whaling system, and the ability to trade up the catgirls you pulled to farm you more tokens? I've never seen a Discord server this active. After some DYOR, it became apparent to me that if they were gonna rug their holders, it would have happened months ago. Really great liquidity, and good trading volume as well. I told a couple of friends, one from my Steem days, and an IRL homie of mine. While they were both intrigued, they didn't buy in, well not until I made a 6x in the span of two days. I had plugged the contract in several scam scanners and aside from a warning here or there, it came up pretty clean. There was a snapshot of the top 1000 wallets yesterday to all receive free NFT drops. It was speculated that whales would all dump after they didn't need to hold 2 trillion coins each anymore, but the price didn't fall anywhere never unrecoverable levels. Instead of selling before and trying to catch falling knives, I just collected my share of distributed tokens (called reflection) that I get regularly just to HODL the token.

A Tail of Two Kitties

The Catgirl Coin community is fun, memey, and love cats. They have great concepts and care for every aspect of their project. Good 'ol biz had one more feline up their sleeve, and honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect based on my findings. Luneko, was being shilled even harder than Catgirl, but when I came to the Announcement Telegram, I saw it wasn't updated in quite a while. I tried to look at the coin on poocoin and something super fishy was going on.

Why are there two contracts? What gives?! I checked it out and there were small buys, but huge sells. Now I was concerned. Someone is pretending to be them with the contract address of 0xac9495b5c7eac7ecfd1f7337fbb0e086d60f79b7 They are dumping on unsuspecting people who want in on the real coin. Someone made a fake Luneko and is scamming people. Such a nice project too, some people are just terrible.

There was a real coin... right? I refused to believe that there was only one cat token project ready to take on the likes of $DOGE and $SHIB. Was there something I was missing?

I now have TWO favorite Cat Coins

To my relief, Luneko is very much a real coin! But it puzzled me how hard it was to find any information about it at all. I had to hunt this coin down, like catching a mouse. Why would people be actively buying this token, if there wasn't something going on? It took some digging around, but to my surprise, I found a second Telegram. I needed a CAPTCHA to join, the first sign of promise. Through that chat, I found a Medium article published today that updated everyone on what's going on. The project took a short break and is now back. As this is a community project, even the NFTs are provided by anonymous artists who contribute their works, and there is voting on how features should be laid out. For a token that came out in May before an abrupt hiatus, the community held it together until the project could resume. The subReddit just got revived, and now everyone wants to get the word out to anyone that would write about them. Look at how cute these Luneko are! ❤️ Despite the rough beginnings of my research, I am now one of the 1105 holders of this coin. No regerts!

Luneko is a Cuuuuuute Project

I'm just happy that people have a good sense of humor, and like drawing adorable art. This is in no way financial advice, but I've looked into two interesting coins, and liked what I found. Maybe I'm salty about missing the Doge train, or not following the Shiba Inu hype. Or maybe, I've caught the start of the new frontier before more people found out about it. I like what these projects are trying to do by challenging the dog coins out there, and how it's more about helping the community instead of Tik Tok influencer marketing. These are the underdog... undercat? coins, and I'm down to support them.

With love, @shello
