My Communication With Switkey Goes Like This...
BitcoinDood: First off, thanks for taking the time to answer the questions for this
interview. Could you take a moment and introduce yourself, tell us a little
about the project you represent and your relationship to the project?
shwifteey: My pleasure dood! I go by shwifteey and I am the community manager and business developer for FUCK Token. My partner Jexprand, the creator of FUCK Token, takes care of the more technical aspects of smart contracts and other types of coding.
BitcoinDood: So I guess my first question is.. Why fuck token? What made you name your
token FUCK? I honestly can’t wait to see this hit exchanges just so I can
see FUCK listed.
shwifteey: Jexprand originally incepted FUCK Token in early June of this year after binge watching SouthPark. I think all of the swearing kind of gave him an epiphany. He posted his creation on Bitcointalk and I immediately saw the potential for this project. He was hesitant to turn FUCK Token into something real but I kept pushing him to the point of being annoying. Our main goal with FUCK is to give a real, tangible value to the word in the form of currency. It’s a surprisingly deep question: “How can you give a fuck, if there are no fucks to give?” We took that concept, applied our love for cryptocurrencies/Ethereum and gave birth to FUCK Token.
BitcoinDood:
Before PIMPcash re-branded to OKcash I remember they got a lot of flack
from some of the different exchanges. Many took offense to the ticker PIMP.
How has the name been received by the cryptocurrency community, and have
you taken any flack for the ticker from different exchanges?
shwifteey: People either love FUCK Token or hate it. Exchanges have been very hesitant to list us (big surprise, I know). We have a lot of exchanges that want to be as professional as possible and don’t want the word FUCK all over their site. As our community grows, the exchanges are starting to realize that we are not a joke and some are easing up to the idea. As our tip bot rolls out I’m expecting exchanges to no longer give a fuck about our name and take notice that we are serious about creating something fun and valuable.
BitcoinDood:
From what I understand this all started as an ICO. Why did you choose the
ICO model for your coin?
shwifteey: The main goal of our ICO was to raise funds to pay for exchange and marketing fees. Jexprand and I hit a point where we couldn’t afford some of the costs of taking FUCK Token to the next level. Now we have enough padding to pay for exchanges, market properly and hire developers. We set a hard cap because most ICOs ask for WAY too much money and end up ruining trust with their investors. We needed to show everyone that FUCK isn’t a money grab and we don’t need millions to bring it to the mainstream.
BitcoinDood:
Recently the industry has been bombarded by ICO offer after ICO offer. What
are your thoughts on the ICO business model? Do you think it’s here to stay
or do you think this is just an industry trend that will eventually cool
off and fade away?
shwifteey: I think it is here to stay. It’s amazing that almost anyone can invest in a project or company without being heavily involved with investment firms. Your average person can now throw some money towards a company or idea that they believe in.
The ICO model is not perfect though. What bothers me is the current craze surrounding them. Companies don’t need hundreds of millions of dollars to build software that takes three months to build. Cryptocurrencies are highly speculative and a lot of people are going to get burned when companies don’t deliver on their promises. Once these sorts of letdowns are common, I expect the ICO craze to cool off. Investors will spend more time researching the fundamentals of the companies as the market gets over-saturated.
BitcoinDood:
Many people are probably asking themselves if this is a parody token or
you’re actually serious about this project. Where do you stand with this?
Are you serious, just having fun or somewhere in the middle?
shwifteey: We are somewhere in the middle, leaning towards serious. Although, being serious about delivering our promises doesn’t mean you can’t have fun while doing it. We want people to enjoy the process of learning about cryptocurrencies. Sending someone a FUCK is still quite complicated to a newcomer: you need to understand Ethereum wallets, gas, tokens etc. Although the Doge creator hates me for using this, I picture FUCK Token as the Doge of Ethereum. We are going to deliver our product with a nice amount of fuckery and fun in the process. We know there is huge potential for introducing newcomers to cryptocurrency through tipping FUCKs. The name immediately grabs your attention, for better or worse.
BitcoinDood:
ERC20 tokens are all the rage right now. What are your thoughts on ERC20
tokens? If someone told you they were considering using the ERC20 platform
for their next project, what would you tell them?
shwifteey: I am definitely biased on this question because I am a big fan of Ethereum. Part of the appeal for FUCK Token is that it is an ERC20 token and anyone can store it on their Ethereum wallet. For an altcoin trader or holder, having 50 different wallets can become a pain in the ass. I’d tell anyone starting an ERC20 token that they should thoroughly test their contract multiple times and have as many people check it as possible. Even companies raising millions of dollars have problems with their smart contracts.
BitcoinDood:
It seems someone actually gave a fuck about The Dood… Actually a couple
fucks were found in The Dood’s Ethereum wallet. Besides people actually
wanting to give a fuck, is there a special purpose or use case you’re
trying to achieve with FUCK?
shwifteey: We’re leaving the door open for FUCK token use cases. Some community members have taken it upon themselves to send hackers 1 FUCK to show how they felt. These types of shenanigans are FUCK Token approved and encouraged. We’ll be pushing r/gonewild adoption of FUCK as their main tipping currency. I’m sure the ladies there will appreciate a tip of real money rather than an upvote. We’re also discussing the possibility of setting up a “Give a FUCK” charity, where anyone can donate money to a cause of their choice. The word “FUCK” has so much untapped potential and we are willing to explore any possible avenue that comes our way.
BitcoinDood: So you guys are actually working on tipbots and integrating use of the
token into various social medial platforms. Could you give us some reasons
why anybody would “give a FUCK” on social media, and what else can we
expect for your roadmap moving forward?
shwifteey: Right now our main focus is ironing out the details of our Reddit tip bot. We’ve noticed there is a large demand to give someone “No FUCKs”, so we’ve integrated burning of FUCKs into our bot. The concept is that you care so little about someone’s comment you are willing to light a couple FUCKs on fire, never to be seen again. This also acts as incentive for investors because the total supply of FUCKs on earth decreases. We are also creating a “Hall of FUCKs”, where the world’s biggest FUCKers and biggest burners will be showcased. I’m sure it would be nice to know you give the most (or least) FUCKs out of anyone in the world.
After our Reddit tip bot we’ll be focusing on Twitter. We have plans to create a Chrome plugin that simplifies the process of giving and receiving a FUCK on Twitter. Later down the line we’ll move towards Slack, Discord and Twitch.
Eventually we’d like to have a central hub where all of our tipping platforms are connected, kind of like a FUCK hub. That way you can link your accounts between bots and easily withdraw/add FUCKs to all social media platforms. We’re discussing integration with WordPress, so anyone can give a FUCK about your blog posts with a small widget on the bottom. We haven’t added these to our roadmap but we’ve got to keep people on their toes ya know?
BitcoinDood: You guys are currently in the process of getting listed on exchanges. Where
can people get some FUCK’s if they want them?
shwifteey: Currently FUCKs are available on Etherdelta and NovaExchange.
Etherdelta: https://etherdelta.github.io/#FUCK-ETH
Novaexchange: https://novaexchange.com/market/BTC_FUCK/
BitcoinDood: Thanks again for taking the time for this interview. Do you have anything
you would like to add about the project that hasn’t already been covered in
the interview?
shwifteey: I want to give a shout out to our tip bot developer, Dave-zilla. This guys is truly a coding wizard and has done more for FUCK Token than anyone else. Big ups Dave. Also, I want to thank you, Dood, for taking the time to interview us. We appreciate the Dood and all his work!
BitcoinDood:
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words I end every interview with the same last question. Where do you see
cryptocurrency headed in the future? Any thoughts, trends or predictions
you can share on the future of cryptocurrency in general?
shwifteey: Without sounding like too much of moon-kid, I see crypto revolutionizing our society in ways we can’t even imagine yet. I think the general public will never care to understand it on a technical level but will use it every day- kind of like the internet. In 1977, you’d be called a fool for trying to explain what society is like today. For crypto, I don’t think anyone can predict which coin(s) will come out on top- all I know is we are in for one hell of a ride over the next 10 years.

BitcoinDood: First off, a debt of gratitude is in order for setting aside the opportunity to answer the inquiries for this
interview. Would you be able to present yourself, reveal to us a little
about the task you speak to and your relationship to the undertaking?
shwifteey: My pleasure dood! I pass by shwifteey and I am the group supervisor and business engineer for FUCK Token. My accomplice Jexprand, the maker of FUCK Token, deals with the more specialized parts of brilliant contracts and different kinds of coding.
BitcoinDood: So I figure my first inquiry is.. Why fuck token? What influenced you to name your
token FUCK? I sincerely can hardly wait to see this hit trades to make sure I can
see FUCK recorded.
shwifteey: Jexprand initially incepted FUCK Token toward the beginning of June of this current year after fling viewing SouthPark. I think about the swearing sort of gave him an epiphany. He posted his creation on Bitcointalk and I promptly observed the potential for this task. He was reluctant to transform FUCK Token into something genuine however I continued pushing him to the point of being irritating. Our primary objective with FUCK is to give a genuine, substantial incentive to the word as money. It's a shockingly profound inquiry: "How might you give a fuck, if there are no fucks to give?" We took that idea, connected our adoration for digital forms of money/Ethereum and brought forth FUCK Token.
BitcoinDood:
Before PIMPcash re-marked to OKcash I recollect that they got a considerable measure of flack
from a portion of the diverse trades. Many disliked the ticker PIMP.
How has the name been gotten by the digital currency group, and have
you taken any flack for the ticker from various trades?
shwifteey: People either cherish FUCK Token or despise it. Trades have been exceptionally reluctant to show us (enormous shock, I know). We have a great deal of trades that need to be as expert as could be allowed and don't need the word FUCK everywhere on their site. As our group develops, the trades are beginning to understand that we are not a joke and some are facilitating up to the thought. As our tip bot takes off I'm anticipating that trades should never again give a fuck about our name and pay heed that we are not kidding about making something fun and important.
BitcoinDood:
From what I comprehend this all began as an ICO. For what reason did you pick the
ICO show for your coin?
shwifteey: The primary objective of our ICO was to raise assets to pay for trade and promoting charges. Jexprand and I hit a point where we couldn't manage the cost of a portion of the expenses of taking FUCK Token to the following level. Presently we have enough cushioning to pay for trades, showcase legitimately and enlist engineers. We set a hard top in light of the fact that most ICOs request too much cash and wind up destroying trust with their financial specialists. We expected to demonstrate everybody that FUCK isn't a cash snatch and we needn't bother with millions to convey it to the standard.
BitcoinDood:
Recently the business has been shelled by ICO offer after ICO offer. What
are your musings on the ICO plan of action? Do you believe it's here to stay
or do you think this is only an industry drift that will in the long run cool
off and blur away?
shwifteey: I think it is setting down deep roots. It's astonishing that nearly anybody can put resources into a task or organization without being vigorously required with venture firms. Your normal individual would now be able to toss some cash towards an organization or thought that they have confidence in.
The ICO show isn't impeccable however. What troubles me is the present furor encompassing them. Organizations needn't bother with a huge number of dollars to construct programming that takes three months to manufacture. Digital forms of money are very theoretical and many individuals will get scorched when organizations don't convey on their guarantees. Once these sorts of disappointments are normal, I anticipate that the ICO fever will chill. Financial specialists will invest more energy examining the essentials of the organizations as the market gets over-immersed.
BitcoinDood:
Many individuals are most likely inquiring as to whether this is a farce token or
you're really genuine about this task. Where do you remain with this?
Are you genuine, simply having a great time or some place in the center?
shwifteey: We are some place in the center, inclining towards genuine. Despite the fact that, being not kidding about conveying our guarantees doesn't mean you can't have some good times while doing it. We need individuals to appreciate the way toward finding out about cryptographic forms of money. Sending somebody a FUCK is still very convoluted to a newcomer: you have to comprehend Ethereum wallets, gas, tokens and so forth. In spite of the fact that the Doge maker abhors me for utilizing this, I picture FUCK Token as the Doge of Ethereum. We will convey our item with a decent measure of fuckery and fun simultaneously. We know there is tremendous potential for acquainting newcomers with digital money through tipping FUCKs. The name quickly gets your consideration, regardless.
BitcoinDood:
ERC20 tokens are extremely popular right at this point. What are your considerations on ERC20
tokens? In the event that somebody revealed to you they were thinking about utilizing the ERC20 stage
for their next undertaking, what might you let them know?
shwifteey: I am unquestionably one-sided on this inquiry since I am a major fanatic of Ethereum. Some portion of the interest for FUCK Token is that it is an ERC20 token and anybody can store it on their Ethereum wallet. For an altcoin dealer or holder, having 50 distinct wallets can turn into an undeniable irritation. I'd tell anybody beginning an ERC20 token that they ought to completely test their agreement various circumstances and have whatever number individuals check it as could be allowed. Indeed, even organizations raising a huge number of dollars have issues with their shrewd contracts.
BitcoinDood:
It appears somebody really gave a fuck about The Dood… Actually a couple
fucks were found in The Dood's Ethereum wallet. Other than individuals actually
needing to give a fuck, is there a unique reason or utilize case you're
endeavoring to accomplish with FUCK?
shwifteey: We're welcoming FUCK token utilize cases. Some people group individuals have volunteered send programmers 1 FUCK to demonstrate how they felt. These kinds of shenanigans are FUCK Token endorsed and energized. We'll be pushing r/gonewild selection of FUCK as their principle tipping money. I'm certain the women there will value a tip of genuine cash instead of an upvote. We're additionally talking about the likelihood of setting up a "Give a FUCK" philanthropy, where anybody can give cash to a reason for their decision. "FUCK" has so much undiscovered potential and we will investigate any conceivable road that comes our direction.
BitcoinDood: So you folks are really taking a shot at tipbots and incorporating utilization of the
token into different social average stages. Might you be able to give us some reasons
why anyone would "give a FUCK" via web-based networking media, and what else can we
expect for your guide pushing ahead?
shwifteey: Right now our principle center is resolving the points of interest of our Reddit tip bot. We've seen there is an extensive request to give somebody "No FUCKs", so we've coordinated consuming of FUCKs into our bot. The idea is that you think so minimal about somebody's remark you will light several FUCKs ablaze, never to be seen again. This likewise goes about as motivating force for financial specialists on the grounds that the aggregate supply of FUCKs on earth diminishes. We are likewise making a "Lobby of FUCKs", where the world's greatest FUCKers and greatest burners will be exhibited. I'm certain it is pleasant to know you give the most (or slightest) FUCKs out of anybody on the planet.
After our Reddit tip bot we'll be concentrating on Twitter. We have plans to make a Chrome module that streamlines the way toward giving and getting a FUCK on Twitter. Later down the line we'll move towards Slack, Discord and Twitch.
In the long run we'd get a kick out of the chance to have a focal center point where the greater part of our tipping stages are associated, sort of like a FUCK center point. That way you can connect your records amongst bots and effortlessly pull back/add FUCKs to every single social medium stages. We're talking about incorporation with WordPress, so anybody can give a FUCK about your blog entries with a little gadget on the base. We haven't added these to our guide yet we must keep individuals on their toes ya dig?
BitcoinDood: You folks are as of now during the time spent getting recorded on trades. Where
can individuals get some FUCK's whether they need them?
shwifteey: Currently FUCKs are accessible on Etherdelta and NovaExchange.
Etherdelta: https://etherdelta.github.io/#FUCK-ETH
Novaexchange: https://novaexchange.com/advertise/BTC_FUCK/
BitcoinDood: Thanks again to take the ideal opportunity for this meeting. Do you have anything
you might want to include about the undertaking that hasn't just been secured in
the meeting?
shwifteey: I need to give a yell out to our tip bot engineer, Dave-zilla. This folks is really a coding wizard and has supported FUCK Token than any other individual. Huge ups Dave. Additionally, I need to thank you, Dood, for setting aside the opportunity to talk with us. We welcome the Dood and all his work!
BitcoinDood:
Thanks, I welcome the kind words I end each meeting with a similar last inquiry. Where do you see
cryptocurrency headed later on? Any contemplations, patterns or forecasts
you can share on the eventual fate of cryptographic money when all is said in done?
shwifteey: Without seeming like excessively of moon-kid, I see crypto reforming our general public in ways we can't envision yet. I think the overall population will never care to comprehend it on a specialized level however will utilize it consistently sort of like the web. In 1977, you'd be known as a trick for attempting to clarify what society resembles today. For crypto, I don't figure anybody can foresee which coin(s) will end up as the winner all I know is we are in for a serious ride throughout the following 10 years.
Because of shwifteey for the considerable meeting. In the event that you'd get a kick out of the chance to discover more about FUCK token you can look at these connections here:
