Well, as close to it as we can get. Leap Day does not happen again until next year, 2020. So we launched in the millisecond between February 28th and March 1st.
The Leap Day comes every 4 years to almost sync us back up with our astronomical Gregorian calendar. What is widely unknown however, is by adding the extra day, we are actually overshooting our goal by 44 minutes every 4 years. Those 44 minutes add up to an extra 3 days every 400 years. So how do we get rid of those? We either add or remove the leap day in years where it is supposed to be present, or missing. All to line us up with the beautiful symbiosis of our solar systems rotation. Genius. It truly beautiful.
We have relied on the stars since the beginning. Some have worshipped the stars, others believe Heaven is beyond them, we wish upon a star, they served as navigation, and fed our imagination, and today we try to send ourselves out to live among them. But it’s not the stars we are reaching for.
“To the moon!” they said. Since the beginning the infatuation with melding space and crypto was there. Never before has such astronomical financial value been introduced to the world in such a short period of time. Over 40 coins had a 8,250% increase or greater from January 1st, 2017 to January 3rd, 2018. Some coins like NEO had a 63,177% return in that time, and others were higher. Chasing returns “to the moon” was an understatement.
My co-founder and I attended an industry event in September of 2018 in Los Angeles, and in the course of 5 minutes we had been pitched a new by a solo founder from Singapore, saw an investor who was dressed as a crypto-cowboy, and were asked to merge with another start-up. The room was packed, and the market was down 70% since the highs earlier in the year. We kept asking, what do all of these people have in common? Why are they still here? Why were we still there? Outside of the free drinks of course, maybe we were crazy enough to have a goal we didn’t know how to achieve, and we had the faith and endurance to see it through. Or, maybe it is the same reason we seek to blast ourselves into the wide-unknown. We have an endless desire to explore, to see what is beyond. I believe that desire is what ties all of us in the crypto together. We want to see a world where things just work, and they work seamlessly, quickly, transparently. Because we feel we deserve this world, and we want to see how all of us humans will interact on the other side of it. Because we believe that will be a better place to exist, for ourselves and our children. And none of us want to wait for someone else to build it. We want it now.
At the beginning of 2018, people fled crypto, and left the builders and the believers to pick up the pieces. If you are one of us who has been picking up the pieces, and turning them into the future you want to see, we invite you to share your story, and join us for what is going to be a daunting but rewarding journey.
Today we launch LunarCRUSH. Giving everyone transparency into the world of crypto.
Come join us.
