A little project to take advantage of the crypto hype happening at the moment

Hey IH

During the crypto rally leading up to Jan 2018 I built https://www.topofthecoins.com.

My intention was to learn about crypto and get an idea of how this shiny new tech worked.

I fired up a new Laravel project and also invested £400 in #XRP and #XLM

At the time the site brought in $31.50 (0.02793) of #Ethereum (around 10 sales), which is now worth £66.93.

The £400 of #XRP and #XML (which I bought pretty much at the peak) is now worth £369 (still HODLing!).

I pretty much broke even, plus learned some valuable new skills.

With the recent crypto hypetrain building back up, I thought it’d be good to do a relaunch. Plus, I've been wanting to learn a few things for a while like:

• TailwindCSS.com - front end dev framework
• Coinbase’s new Commerce APIs called Coinbase Commerce
• Use everything new in Laravel and also use Laravel Forge (server management and continuous deployments etc).

So on the weekend, I rebuilt the site with some new features & a shiny new design.

The new TopOfTheCoins.com let’s you post a message using 6 different cryptocurrencies thanks to Coinbase Commerce:

Bitcoin, Ethereum, BitcoinCash, Litecoin, Dai and USDC.

There's now also a top message spot for each of those currencies, instead of just one top spot (that's still there!)

I really think that there’s a chance that the site can go viral and become the “Million dollar homepage” of the crypto era.

I’d love to know what you all think: https://www.topofthecoins.com

Keen to understand what clever tactics the IH community would use to grow this quickly and profitably.

Cheers!
