"Hi, my name is $ALEX" An Open Community by AlexMasmej
$ALEX, social money created by Alex Masmej is now listed on the Social Money Exchange powered by Uniswap
In the past few months, Alex has emerged as one of the major voices in the Undercollateralized DeFi movement.
Throughout this time, he's been casually incentivizing his open community with $ALEX, his own social money he's created through the Roll protocol.
After the $AML19 debt token, happy to announce that I now have a personal token: introducing $ALEX.
ONLY 10 million $ALEX will ever be minted via @tryrollhq ๐ฏ
Buying some gives you rewards (e.g. 1h of my time) as well as exposure to my future career
