Hey guys,

I'll start off by saying that I feel guilty for being both and investor, and a believer at the same time. I was on a PowerShell course last January, and for some reason I began day dreaming. I thought of a coin, a crypto-currency. One for the people of Quebec. But I'm far from a developer I'm good at a lot of things(and very willing in general), but expert of none. I couldn't push myself to take action on my Quebec crypto idea. I ended up trying to find out if there was any action around crypto and decentralization dans mon pays! in Quebec. Things led to another and I stumbled on this thread in the early pages. Needless to say I got very excited. This was better than what I had day-dreamed about.

I feel guilty because I can easily be called out as biased since I'm both invested and excited. But the truth is, I'm an enthusiast in all thing decentralized, open source and technology. Id really like this coin to execute its original plan; a coin for the people of Quebec.

I came late into the crypto-game, but I managed to ride Dogecoin and Vertcoin creation. Ive seen the community grow and get excited about these 2. Ive seen people work together. They slowly made these coins what they are today. For some reason I just leeched on them. I couldnt get my lazy ass to participate. So I rode on the back of their community. But Québecoin that one struck me differently. It meant something right from the start. For this reason, I decided I would spend a little bit of my spare time on the coin. Even if its just 1, 2 or maybe 4 hours a week. That is time I would usually spend, or as some would say "waste", playing video games. If 5, 10 or 3000 bodies spent just that: 1 hour a week "working" on QBC, then all of a sudden we have a giant rolling stone. You know what we say: pierre qui roule n'amasse pas mousse A rolling stone gathers no moss

In barely 2 weeks I already found a handful people that are as excited as me about QBC/Crypto/Quebec. I have been in contact with folks that showed interest in the coin. One of which offered me a place to work on a Wiki page. This person seems to be extremely resourceful. Another one offered and created, a forum template where we the QBC community could potentially build its nest. Its only the beginning, but I can already smell the potential. I know there are more people that believe in this coin. And to those of you - be vocal about it! Its much needed to counter-weight to the FUD and hate.

It's really nothing much at this point. But keep in mind it is very early and this will VERY LIKELY develop in something bigger. How much bigger? well that depends on all of us. We just need to act semi-quickly and get the few ones who believe - the ones who hope this coin will succeed - to assemble and participate. We need to be able to keep track of what's happening, whats cooking and brainstorm it all.

Im sure a lot of Quebecer and Quebec developer will jump in as soon as theyll hear about QBC and crypto-currencies. Thats most likely going to happen during the next crypto hype bubble, and the ones after. Sure thing is were going to see another bubble like the November 2013 one. Itll happen before the first QBC air-drop. We must prepare Québecoin for that. We need the word out - We need accessible, easy to understand information - We need Québecoin to be, and stay, on the radar. If we do that, the right people will have but no choice to cross road with us at some point in the next 10 years.

Im still sitting on my IPO share, and I plan nothing but to keep it warm under my phat glutes yo. Im planning to keep it until it can be useful to a project that involves QBC. Im also planning to get more(way more), and I have been. Im not in this to get rich. Im in because Im excited about technology and advancement. Im also very curious as to what the future will look like. I want to be present as it shapes up and transforms itself.

QBC will see better days.

That - or - we can just sit here, complain and troll. Grin

Thanks a lot for being reasonable and keeping our spirits up. I'm actually trying to buy more QBC, so my actions reflect my own optimism.

The Robert Micro and the standard «dictionnaire pour anglos» are all-but looking at me as I write this.

After all, the heart of the QBC community will be in French: nothing else will do for «maîtres chez nous».

I might end up really bilingual instead of being stuck with Français «manglo»!
