In a globalized capitalist world soon to be dominated by AI-generated content aimed at controlling our consciousness through fear, greed, and guilt, the Tanuki is the antidote—memetic medicine designed to connect us to our innate human intelligence and activate our creative intuition. It allows us to realize, through the teachings of various ancient wisdoms, that the reality of the universe is playful, not serious. We call it Leela—play, but sincere.
Degen-ery defines the state of crypto today, as we moved from the
decentralization maxi cypherpunks of the past to the capitalist, fiat
maximalists of today. It is no longer about values of decentralization
and personal economic freedom, as crypto has evolved from a
philosophically driven movement to being a extractive global casino
for speculation.
The 2013 run of Bitcoin was the birth of
the collective belief that we could replace the global monetary
system. ICOs of 2017 brought in more believers, with promises of grand
ambitions, except they failed to materialize - leaving the speculators
and newcomers disillusioned. The DeFi summer of 2020 brought in
crypto’s first on-chain utility, shifting us into degen behavior,
participating in clear ponzis to extract value in a zero-sum game -
which all eventually collapsed.
Memecoins are now the
meta. They offer no promises or grand visions - they are transparent
as they are just tickers with a image and liquidity. The transparency
is an improvement - but the lack of any worldly value besides price
movement leads to pure greed, FOMO and fear as the underlying utility
is PnL.
We want to inspire for something greater and
uplift the crypto world into higher consciousness. Our vision with
Tanuki is to align with the ultimate decentralized, uncensorable chain
(Bitcoin) whilst bridging the worlds of psychedelics and mental
wellness therapy. We believe that memecoins can provide a deep value
for society if it comes from a purpose to elevate others rather than
pure extraction.
Bringing real world impact to crypto by
redirecting the deep pool of liquidity in the memecoin space to
charitable giving to impactful organizations that can lift the human
spirit, thus changing the world.
Tanuki is an entity from
the higher dimensions - birthed as a Japanese raccoon dog, it is known
as a mischievous creature embodying the trickster archetype. Its
playfulness teaches us that life is not so serious, that the universe
is about Leela - Play.
It is a great teacher - as a
shapeshifter that carries with it Abundance, Love and Prosperity.
We aim to bring ancient wisdom on-chain through the vehicle of memes as spiritual medicine to inspire reflection that life is a play, not to be taken too seriously. Tanuki is etched onto Runes on the Bitcoin blockchain, bridging the inscription of ancient wisdom with the most decentralized network in the world. Our intention is to foster paths to spiritual wellness and expanded consciousness through dedicating our mission’s profits into MAPS and similar organizations that support the research, legalization and responsible use of psychedelics.
