Today, @BitsTODAY turns the big 0–4–0 🎂. What should we fixate on for our mid-life crisis? Buying a shiny @greenlambo off of its existing owner? A full sleeve of Bitclout tattoos to trump @clayperrymusic, @wendyleigh and @aylacroft? Doubling down on trying to get @maebeam to notice our advances?
Well, as fun as all of the above sounds, we have no plans to croak around edition 080. @nvo may get crippling carpal tunnel by then, yes, but we’ll just switch over to dictating all the issues or something. TBD. Anywho, we’re celebrating like we always do, namely serving you all the updates from across the clout-iverse. Our rocketship still has plenty of jet fuel, hop onboard! 🚀

#1 BuzzClout
First things first. In partnership with @bitcloutsignal, here’s an exclusive look at today’s movers and shakers:
#2 Ubiquitous UX Drops: Hot proj summer 👙☀️🥵
Turns out we didn’t need to go to E11EVEN in Miami to get tantalized and teased by a lot of super sexy B-… itclout community projects. Over the weekend, at least three top Bitclout community projects have teased that they have big 💧s hitting the wires in the coming days: @BitSwap, @BitCloutPulse, and @Cloutted.
@BitSwap kicked things off by not-so subtly hinting that it’d be their exchange, as opposed to @blockchain or Coinbase or Gemini, that would be the first to release a decentralized way to swap $CLOUT for other currencies. In order to deliver on this promise, we reckon they’d have to get this live in days, not weeks. In our private discord, @Sigil suggested launch pre-deflation 💣 is possible. What edge could @BitSwap possibly have over another giant exchange? Well, for one, with the right set-up + Bitclout identity, connecting to your bitclout wallet could be a lot more frictionless than liquidating creator coin positions, sending $CLOUT to a different wallet address that’s compatible with say, UniSwap, and then exchanging it. Let’s see if and when they deliver (*we’re rooting for y’all!*)
@BitCloutPulse jumped in with a new tactic that seems like it will be copied in the future ad nauseam, posting a blurry screen grab of what looks like a slick new trading and analytics interface:
@Cloutted followed suit, with a big promotional boost from @JakeUdell no less (MUCH more on this later)
We’re eager to see what all these projects have in store for us. Perhaps @Cloutted’s hashtags are opening up for everyone on Bitclout? Anyone got the inside scoop? Drop it in our #hottips channel here ;).
In terms of what’s recently been shipped, we haven’t yet done justice to @Cloutfeed in our reporting. @Cloutfeed released a raft of updates in the past few days, encompassing editing your profile as well as support for multiple accounts, the ability to post multiple pictures in the same post, etc. To boot, @Cloutfeed went 100% open-source today, potentially ushering in a new wave of third party apps committing fully to the ethos of decentralization as well. Any bug hunters out there 🔬🔬🔬?
The arms-race for Bitclout mobile apps is certainly heating up! In fact, across the entire board, it’s looking like it’s going to be a hot summer for building on Bitclout 🥵🥵🥵.
#3 NachoAverage: Finding community in a hopeless place ✌️
Thanks very much to @ReadyPlayerOne for this submission! We’re always thrilled to feature direct contributions from the community. Have something you’d like to write about? Get in touch!
Another crazy day on Bitclout & the @NachoAverage call!
@ChetBLong, founder of @diamonds4queens and NachoAverage stalwart, was T-boned live on the call! As @ChetBLong was pulling out of a gas station in Miami, he was hit at about 60mph by an oncoming Jetta. Fortunately, he escaped unscathed! Might we recommend turning the livestream off while driving 😬😬😬.
Even more fortunately, while working security at a dealership across the street, @CelineJamaica witnessed the accident and dropped everything to rush to @ChetBLong’s aid. She went so far as to leave work and to give him a ride! Mind you, this is all still going down live on the Nacho Average call…
Chet, being the Bitclout missionary that he is, proceeded to onboard Celine to Bitclout on the spot. The Nacho Average crew of course immediately aped into her coin, bringing it up to a $200 coin within minutes of her joining the platform 🤯
Celine then invited Chet over for dinner, and they went off on a grocery run together. Again, all live on the call…This is a developing story, as the two are currently enjoying a meal and wine (you guessed it, still on call!) while Celine gets up to speed about BitClout.
Let’s give @CelineJamaica a warm welcome shall we? We can already tell she’ll be a great addition to the community. @ChetBLong — we’re glad you’re OK!
#4 Get #Cloutted: @JakeUdell 🤝 @Cloutted = 💰💰💰
Looking to win 5 figures worth of $CLOUT, but NOT down to get a tattoo yet? @JakeUdell and @Cloutted are offering up an alternative path in parallel to @Cloutted’s launch of #clouttags that can be used to organize and search feeds on their Bitclout node over at Cloutted.com. We asked Jake why he decided to run this contest, and here’s what he had to say:
“There are so many incredible undiscovered stories and ambitious dreams on BitClout. With the #Cloutted contest, we are putting the spotlight on them as a way to highlight their current and future contributions to our growing community.”
How do you get involved? We at @BitsTODAY especially love this contest, because it’s all about telling YOUR story. @Cloutted + a team of all-star judges including our very own @ASG will be scouring through user submissions. How to make sure your story gets in front of the right people? Well, just use the clout-tag #Cloutted!
Here’s a bit more from the folks actually running the show. Now get cloutting!
Share your story with a BitClout post using the CloutTag #Cloutted and respond to each of the following prompts in the most high-impact way possible:
Before I was #Cloutted…
Since I became #Cloutted…
And now, with BitClout, I will…
Get creative in 10 Clouts or less! Use your words, descriptive hashtags, launch NFTs or videos… Whatever you want! As long as your submission has #Cloutted in it, the interpretation of how you answer is up to you :) All details for the contest can also be found here.
#5 General Absurdity: 🐳🐳🐳s go swimming in the ink
Ahoy matey! 🏴☠️ Lookin’ to go whale hunting? Arrr… turns out the only sure-fired way to snag some blubberous blue whales is blood, sweat, and most importantly, getting Bitclout immortalized in your flesh with ink.
At least that’s what @ClayPerryMusic, @Wendyleigh as well as @AylaCroft might tell you from their successful whale hunts over the weekend. These three Bitclout legends showed their commitment to the clout by banding together from completely separate ends of the globe to get clean AF clout-tats.
Not only do their tats look great, but they collectively received north of $150k of investment from OG genesis block mega whale, @whoami, as well as investments and reclouts from @diamondhands and other Bitclout core team members (which may be worth more as much as all that $$$ in terms of clout, tbh).
We can’t necessarily advise that you’ll be able to hook these same whales with tattoos of your own, otherwise we’d already be in the parlor. After all, @ClayPerryMusic, @Wendyleigh and @AylaCroft had the courage, confidence, and creativity to go first.
Still… if you’re willing to take the risk, who knows? There might be a $10k still loaded in some whale’s blowhole for you. Or you could just do it for the non-monetary clout 😎😎😎. Maybe @dripcult is up next 👀.
Thanks for spending your Sunday evening or Monday morning with us, good people of Bitclout.
Tomorrow, don’t forget to join us for the next installment of the @BitsTODAY podcast LIVE on clubhouse at 6pm PT tomorrow (6/7/21) with none other than the genesis-block legend, @artz.
Will @artz spill some tea on @diamondhands identity? Will he share insight into future plans the core Bitclout dev team has for the platform? Or will he just drag @BitsTODAY over the coals and grill us on our own future development plans as a business?
You’ll have to tune in tomorrow to find out.
Do svidaniya,
The @BitsTODAY team
