What is Number Go Up? - NGU-Foundation/NGU.money GitHub Wiki

TLDR: In the beginning there was a bunch of OG degen investors who formed a server, and they saw that it was good. They tried to expand too fast and saw that it was bad. They nuked the server on a whim and were all happy. Then Elvis wanted to create a token to help frens, and Benjamin made it happen and it was good. They named the token Number Go Up ($NGU), and so it did.

Number Go Up ($NGU) celebrates the incredible growth of cryptocurrencies over the past decade.

Number Go Up started with a crypto degen named Elvis. He posted an invite in the distant corner of the internet, and the right folks answered and met under the name Number Go Up. Members saw the value in having a community of like-minded investors and started running some marketing experiments to see if there were other like-minded investors out there. Unfortunately, the experiments grew too fast and weren't bot proof, and the server was invaded by bots and nearly unusable after 24 hours, so Elvis decided to nuke the server and start again; This time, an organic approach would lead the growth.

The new Number Grow Up server quickly grew into a grassroots community of professional crypto traders, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, and meme enjoyers who wanted a place to share their acquisition and trading strategies with one another. After many months of refinement to find the very best strategies, the community thought it wise to streamline their findings. Several high win rate crypto trading systems were then combined to form one single automated signals system; ngu-signals.

After considering how to best market the new community, Elvis decided it was wise to start a Number Go Up ecosystem token called $NGU. The token would launch on a proof of work (PoW) blockchain; A layer 1 that was starting to make big waves in the defi space; Alephium.

Elvis reached out to Benjamin, a smart contract developer working on the front lines of Alephium's code, for help with $NGU's creation, and to ensure that $NGU would be as fairly launched as possible.

Within a few weeks, and 62 donors later, the $NGU token was born. $NGU launched on Alephium on December 8th of 2023, imbued with equity, transparency and fairness for all. Within 24 hours of launch time, $NGU's starting market cap of $5,447 USD (7,777 $ALPH) rose to $100K USD, and the rest is history.

$NGU demonstrates what the crypto community can do, how time zones can't keep frens apart, and just how important it is to build communities.

Number Go Up, but the real treasure is the frens we make along the way.
