Happy Anniversary iEthereum.org

Pi Day is tomorrow.

Pi, the infinite number. It's an irrational and transcendental number that stretches into infinity and hints at possibilities beyond our imaginations. Infinity; the more we know, the more apparent it is that there is so much more to know.

We started this journey one year ago.

On March 14, 2023 we began writing articles to speak on the iEthereum topic. To speak on a void in the space that was missing relevant to the most mysterious cryptocurrency on the coin market cap indexes.

iEthereum has been a mystery to me. It contains an allurement that many; not just me, are intrigued by. An onion with layers. An orange waiting to be peeled.

iEthereum has been tested tried and true for the past 7 years. It remains silently abused in the dark.

Ignored, censored, laughed at, kicked, argued, confused and mis gendered. That last one is a joke. I hope you are able to laugh. It is important in this day and age.

Almost as if the mind control machine is teasing those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

All sorts of tricks have been played to constrain this solid yet simple open source iEthereum technology.

These are topics in which the iEthereum Advocacy Trust has strived to produce for the past 12 months. Giving iEthereum a voice. Giving iEthereum a grassroots community to rally behind. To initiate a self organizing collective, a hub of information, research and education regarding iEthereum. Just somewhere to discuss, talk, learn and speculate about iEthereum.

The iEthereum Advocacy Trust continues to exist as an idea that supports the iEthereum technology.  Our single most important initiative is to build iEthereum awareness.

Our vision continues to formalize with more clarity; yet our objectives have remained constant.

1. Build asset value

2. Create conversation and mystery

3. Keep iEthereum honest and open

4. Formalize and develop iEthereum Advocacy Trust vision

5. Grow community to a point of decision

We believe our first year was a test to see if this idea was something people wanted. An organized iEthereum community was non existent. The originating official twitter account is essentially dormant, the founding telegram groups delete and mute new members, and the original website had expired. The only remnants of an iEthereum community were amongst private messages being actively sent and received. There was no public forum to congregate before we formed the iEthereum Advocacy Trust.

iEthereum Advocacy Trust launched as a means to an end to organize the disfranchised community without knowing if it would be a success. We had no idea if this was something the market wanted.

After one year, the iEthereum Advocacy Trust is excited to say that it has been a success in all measurements of interest. Thank you to y’all.

Although not huge numbers by internet reach standards, we are happy with the progress. A testament to our true intentions and objective fortitude. We will be moving forward. We are growing a strong and solid grassroots foundation.

We understand that we could reach more this day and age via a stronger social media presence, referral programs and adverts. This will come with time and y’all sharing this space with others. With our current strategy and approach; we are guaranteeing those finding us are strong, outside of the box thinkers that are seeking solutions and opportunity. I am proud of these numbers as I am attempting to walk a balance beam between respecting the hypothetical potential of an Apple product launch that I do not want to interfere with and all the while informing a grassroots community of the speculative opportunity.

Lets talk about the metrics that I see as confirmation we, the iEthereum Advocacy Trust, are on the right path.

From March 2023 to September 2023, I was disciplined in writing a weekly article. We had an outdated looking website without good analytics. The measured success during the first 6 months was broad and general. I could see the idea of the iEthereum Advocacy Trust was welcomed but the launch highlighted to me I needed to get a better website with proper analytics moving forward.

In September 2023 was our first milestone completion. We set up a proper website with analytics for www.iEthereum.org. This milestone came with another major development that was originally unintended. The iEthereum Advocacy Trust had an opportunity to purchase the original founding projects website, www.iethereum.trade that had expired and was creating confusion amongst existing investors while detracting new potential community members from investing.

iEthereum is not a known digital asset as of yet. In general, iEthereum is a niche topic within a niche topic within a technical savvy community. I, in fact love being out in the woods and not around computers at all. Deep technical jargon is considered boring by the majority of us and our 14 second attention span within this technical age. Our expectations are not based on a tidal wave of overnight support. We have stated our plan with the iEthereum Advocacy Trust is 3-5 years to build a foundation. Just a foundation.

To those 33 iEthereans that have signed up for our newsletter and are now considered iEthereans. Thank you

Over the past 6 months, our analytics show that we have had a total of 621 new users visit the site with an average of 22.94 active users per week reading our weekly publishing. This trend is growing.

Thousands of clicking and scrolling events have taken place showing us that people are interested in iEthereum as a topic. Average time spent per user seems to be 2 minutes and 31 seconds for short form articles ranging on average between 400 and 1500 words. We are super stoked that anybody would allow us over two minutes of their time per week. Thank you

A metric that we are incredibly proud of is our active user base which reflects a global collection of 55 countries currently.

Current active user base from countries include Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, China, Columbia, Cyprus, Estonia, France, Germany, Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Isle of Man, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Seychelles, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, and Vietnam.

This confirms to us that a diverse, worldly iEtherean community does exist and will snowball into a greater iEthereum collective into the future. This shows all iEthereum investors that global adoption is possible, is coming and will be ascertained. Stand ready. The iEthereum technology is needed and welcomed.

So what is to come for the iEthereum Advocacy Trust?

Remember, we are NOT the founders of iEthereum. We can not speak on what is to come for iEthereum as a token or the overall ecosystem.

But the iEthereum Advocacy Trust is excited to enter our second year in helping self organize a collective rallied behind the open source iEthereum technology as a valuable open source, immutable, finite, P2P digital asset.

We have established, yet have self regulated our social media presence to this point as to not step on any greater giants toes if there are any. We understand that timing for product market fit is important. It is not our place to make a splash. However, we will be slightly improving our X (Twitter) presence this year. Please consider following us at @i_ethereum.

Furthermore, we have began publishing iEtherean Tales every week. Biweekly on this website and alternative weeks over at https://iethereum.substack.com/. We wanted to diversify our efforts and not put all our eggs in one basket. Please sign up to receive these biweekly articles on Substack. We have a growing user base over there as well. These iEtherean Tales are designed to be a fun way of creating fun fictional short stories that encompass the knowledge of our boring technical weekly written articles. Perhaps an easier way to absorb the information. We have had great response.

Most recently we have decided to open our phone lines and email communication with personal assistance in iEthereum consultation. These services will focus on fostering growth within the decentralized iEthereum network, emphasizing community expansion, learning, and support. Not to be construed as financial advice! The trust aims to facilitate understanding and engagement with iEthereum through 30 to 60-minute telephone consultations, covering topics such as onboarding, wallet setup, market preferences, and managing iEthereum. The Trust, not affiliated with iEthereum's founders or project, stresses its commitment to open-source development and community participation. Access to consultation services requires an annual paid newsletter sponsorship of $50/year and offers various added benefits, including access to the private telegram group and complimentary iEthereum. More on this service over the next couple of months and how it will work. In short, the Trust looks forward to empowering users within the iEthereum ecosystem while underlining the service's exclusivity to iEthereum-related topics and community. 

Additionally, you can expect a Youtube channel to be announced Q3 or Q4 2024 or Q1 2025 with an intention of establishing and making a minimal footprint in the space. At this time we are thinking that a weekly live video discussing our recent article post, interacting with the iEthereum community, answering questions and highlighting any news would be a good start. But this could change. I look forward to any input or suggestions on what y’all would like.

Furthermore, we are looking forward to finishing up a lot of the articles we had originally brainstormed and listed out for scheduling. Getting caught up with past ideas while moving forward with publishing articles relevant to current events has been a task. Expect many articles pertaining to helping business adoption, value propositions, technical development of iEthereum and more alluring mystery content of the iEthereum token is to come.

iEther way, We see value!
