Introduction

The thing with cryptocurrencies is that everyone is just shilling it for their own benefit. So who can you really trust? It seems all you need is an audience and make your own cryptocurrency and you can just make a lot of money.

These are the words of wisdom of a legendary Youtuber known as PewDiePie who, after poking fun at the Bitconnect's pyramid scheme, jokingly announced his very own cryptocurrency- the BrofistCoin.

Are you ready to make a lot of money? Invest now guys before it's too late!

What is BrofistCoin?

This is the one that's really gonna take off. Trust me. I am the most trustworthy Youtuber on the platform and I'm telling you right here, right now, BrofistCoin is where it's at. We're gonna BROFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST... our way to the TOP! This is the cryptocurrency that's really gonna make it. It's gonna be great.

BrofistCoin is a fan-made cryptocurrency inspired by PewDiePie and powered by the Ethereum blockchain. You can send it to your friends and trade it on exchanges such as ForkDelta and BambooRelay.

The main purpose of BrofistCoin is to serve as an incentive for content creators to come up with top quality, unique and funny memes for the PewDiePie's Last Week I Asked You (LWIAY) show. Each week, after the episode, we announce the top 3 meme authors who get to share a pool of 100 BrofistCoin based on the total percentage of upvotes received from the PewDiePieSubmissions subreddit.

This makes BrofistCoin a meme coin in its most literal sense! It's a meme cryptocurrency for memes that you can earn by creating more memes.

However, because BrofistCoin lives on the Ethereum blockchain, we can utilize the power of Smart Contracts to create all sorts of other cool things too.

It's strongly recommended to read our FAQ to fully understand the concept especially if you are new to Ethereum. It's worth it, I promise!

Meme Trading Cards

The first batch of trading cards was just airdropped to anyone who was interested. In total we managed to mint 75 cards. Think of the Meme Awards 2018 airdrop like the rare item drop of your favorite MMORPG called life. We will be doing more of these in the future when something significant happens in the meme world. Stay tuned! What's more, all of these cards can be used in our upcoming blockchain based trading cards game! Although you might not want to actually play with them because they are too rare to just... lose.

PewDiePie and Memes Related Trading Cards You might be wondering how does one acquire more of these Meme Trading Cards? Why, through playing our super awesome card game of course ;)

Yes, you heard that right! We are working on releasing a full blown trading cards game on the Ethereum platform pretty soon and what's even more amazing is that everyone will have exactly the same chance at receiving any Meme Trading Card simply by playing the game. All it takes is a little bit of skill.

If you're interested to learn more, we have a whole page dedicated to the project over here and you can already try out the playable demo today to practice. How cool is that?!

One more thing... since this is a project with absolutely no funding behind it, we would appreciate a donation of any kind to help us hire graphics designers, solidity developers and social media managers to really make this project awesome. Any ETH or token donations welcome: 0xa8B8DE18b2dC12e755aD9B5805f7aac3d9489C05

  • ERC20 Compliant

    BrofistCoin is an Ethereum based ERC20 compliant cryptocurrency

  • Buy, sell, trade

    You can buy, sell and trade BrofistCoin just like any other cryptocurrency here and here.

  • For all BRO's

    May all the BRO's become financially independently!

Airdrop

Whoa! In just under 3 months we distributed all of the 40 million PEW to more than 74,000 addresses. That's crazy!

Unfortunately this means that you can no longer claim any free PEW. In case you missed your chance you should check out ForkDelta where you can sometimes find a pretty good deal.

BrofistCoin Specifications

  • Name BrofistCoin
  • Symbol PEW
  • Decimals 8
  • Supply 45,690,940
  • ContractHere

After the airdrop ended we moved reserved funds to their own separate wallets. You can see PewDiePie's wallet here and the wallet for our Developers here. The private keys for those wallets are (hopefully) safe in a place nobody will ever look. Actually it would be cool to hide them in plain sight... HHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?

On January 24th 2021 we burned 4,3 million PEW tokens from our dev wallet. It's been 3 years, not a lot of trading going on lately. Hell, it's not even on Uniswap. We figured that burning dev tokens might help resurrect this. Let's see :)

PewDiePie hmm

Roadmap

Disclaimer

In case you haven't figured it out already BrofistCoin is a fan made meme coin. A joke. BrofistCoin offers no guarantees. It's definitely not a good idea to invest your life's savings in BrofistCoin. Don't buy it. Not even for free. Seriously. Do not put your life's savings in BrofistCoin. You have been warned. As of today PewDiePie has no idea we're actually doing this. He probably already knows about us. He just hasn't contacted us and isn't working together with us. So don't hold him accountable for anything that may or may not happen.

That said, BrofistCoin is a real and fully functional cryptocurrency that you can send to your friends and family. All you need is an Ethereum address to hold the coin. For more information please check out our FAQ section.

For the Securities and Exchange Commission

BrofistCoin is not an ICO. There was never a token sale and to the best of our knowledge nobody has made or will make any profit from using it. We simply allowed interested parties to claim free tokens provided that they covered the Ethereum network transaction fees themselves. BrofistCoin offers no guarantees and we don't encourage anyone to invest in it. We have also made it as clear as possible to everyone involved that BrofistCoin is a joke. A meme coin that was born after PewDiePie mocked the Bitconnect scam. BrofistCoin is unofficially being used as a reward token in the PewDiePieSubmissions subreddit to credit authors of the most upvoted memes, but that does not mean that Felix Kjellberg (PewDiePie) himself endorses the use of BrofistCoin. In fact Felix Kjellberg has never acknowledged the project in any way.

For the investor

About a week and a half after we first announced BrofistCoin at least two different teams have also started promoting their own BrofistCoin cryptocurrency. Please be advised that we are not working together with them and the only official website we have is the one you are on right now (BrofistCoin.io). Every other website about BrofistCoin out on the internet is not us and is most likely scam because they are asking for real money as an investment. We never did any of that and neither are we interested in listing our coin on centralized exchanges, sorry.

That said, we have nothing against decentralized exchanges and you can trade BrofistCoin on ForkDelta right now if you like. Additionally we hope to bring real utility value to BrofistCoin through our decentralized meme trading cards game that's currently a work in progress, but at the same time we don't guarantee that the project will finish at all. From our perspective the BrofistCoin project is an opportunity for us to learn about Ethereum and how to develop decentralized applications. We have no intention to gain any financial value from BrofistCoin and you shouldn't either. If you wish to support us you can send a donation to our Donations address.

For PewDiePie

Hopefully you will understand that this is a joke and won't sue us. Our main goal is to have great new content created for your meme review and LWIAY episodes by using BrofistCoin as an incentive to come up with better quality memes. Additionally we're working on implementing a reddit tip bot so that the best content submitted on PewDiePie Submissions can earn BrofistCoin as a reward for their hard work. Unlike our "competitors" we are not raising any money using your trademark.

Obviously you, PewDiePie, will be entitled to one of the biggest BrofistCoin wallets.

We also realize that due to the uncertainty around Ethereum based tokens and the crypto world as a whole, you might not want to touch BrofistCoin even with a ten foot pole so you might want to consult your lawyer before you do anything. It is not our intention to cause problems to you or your brand. Still, we would really, really love to hear from you soon to discuss options and perhaps even work together towards a common goal. It's like you said:

We're gonna brofist our way to the top!
