The newest revolution in blockchain technology using the Ethereum blockchain protocol. By running on top of the Ethereum blockchain, we offer a decentralized approach to flaunting one's wealth using a virtual cryptocurrency, Canadian Geese Token (CGT).
CGT is an anonymous, decentralized, peer-verified, tamper-proof ERC20 token. Our final goal is to achieve a 1:1 ratio of 1 CGT to 1 physical Canada Goose TM jacket.
The ICO will begin on the start of Brown University's Spring 2018 semester - January 24, 2018. The ICO price will be 1 ETH = 1,000 CGT
. Coincidentally, as of Dec 28 2017, the price of 1 ETH is about the price of a physical Canada Goose TM jacket. Thus, each CGT is worth about 1/1000 of a Canada Goose TM jacket at launch. More information will be released as the ICO date approaches.
After the ICO, users may still "mine" CGT through a cookie-clicker like webapp, in which the user's computer hardware is utilized to mine ETH. This ETH is transferred to the ERC20 smart contract address, where the equivalent CGT is then sent to the user's wallet.
CGT is in no way, shape, or form related to Canada Goose TM. Any likeness is purely coincidental.
I know this post will be controversial, but I don't care because I am hurting and need to speak out. I love my Canadian Geese Token (CGT) and shaming people for owning Canadian Geese Token (CGT) is bullying. Being a decent human being (not worthy of receiving hatred) and owning useless cryptocurrency are not mutually exclusive. I, for instance, received 10,000 CGT for Christmas my freshman year. I had not asked for it, nor did I know its price. My parents had seen that Bitcoin in Providence had gone down 20% and because we come from a bullish climate and I panic sell often, it was very important to them that I hodl, so they went ahead and bought me what they had heard was an ERC20 token useless enough for arctic investments. When I realized the cost, I questioned their purchase, but my mother reasoned with me that what Canadian Geese Token (CGT) sells is not the label (like big designer brands) but value (plus it has a lifetime gains). I'm conscious of how lucky and blessed I am to have parents willing to spend 1 ETH to keep me warm. Yes, there might be some people out there who use the cryptocurrency for conspicuous consumption (and that is inconsiderate and a bad trait, but honestly they have the right to use their money as they see fit), but I am also certain that there are other students like me for whom this item is merely functional- who only use it when it's freezing cold outside and for whom this is the most expensive item they have ever owned. So please don't put everybody in the same box. Don't condemn me and make me feel guilty for something I own. I'm well aware I come from more privilege than most, but that is not something within my control and I always try not isolate lower income people, help when possible and not misuse my parent's cryptocurrency. Fearing judgement and wanting to hide my face whenever I walk out of the house owning my ERC20 token is unnecessary stress.
