Intro:
The message is clear, there’s only one earth and it’s our only home. This is not only the overarching message of this project, It’s also reflected in the tokenomics. There’s only one Earth token. You can only own a fraction of the Pale Blue Dot. As holders of EarTH, as mankind we’re not going to stop there though. We’re going to gather as a global community of earthlings and do our part to address some of earth’s most pressing issues. More below...
“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.”
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." (Carlsagandotcom, 2015)

Tokenomics:
Supply: 1 Earth
For those new to the space or thinking how can you build a project with a supply of one? Ethereum is divisible to 18 decimals. Meaning every single person on planet earth could hold a share of Earth 125,000 times over. It's not a constraint. It's a message.
Max Wallet: 2%, Max buy: 1%
Tax: 2% buy, 2% sell.
Allocation: 1.5% to the earth fund, 0.5% to the operations. CEX: 5%(locked), Team: 3%.
Contract ownership will be renounced shortly after launch with an initial liquidity lock of 1 year. At a market cap of $10 Million liquidity will be locked for 365 years.
Earth Fund:
The earth fund is at the heart of this mission. We don’t just want to talk about it, we want to be about it. We will have monthly initiatives, where we focus on one of the many pressing issues of planet earth.
Some of the things we will be working on creative ways to address are:
How we will be addressing problems:
Operations fund: Will be used to support the project in whatever means necessary.
Growth Strategies:
Market Cap Milestones - and how we utilize the earth fund given the respective MC
$5,000 - $50 Million, all of the earth fund will be used for marketing. Our goal in this phase is get the word out there, to help people understand this concept and our mission. To gather as a global community of earthlings and rally behind our home.
During this phase we will also employ some unique features to propel growth. One of them being that a portion of the fund will be allocated to the biggest driver/determinant of a project’s success: its foot soldiers, the raiders. We’ll be looking to reward our most valuable community members with ETH or additional shares of Earth.
$50M - $500 Million, the earth fund will primarily be used for education and donations around the quarterly initiative. The beauty of this as well, is that as we collaborate with organizations that align with our mission it IS marketing.
$500M - $10+ Billion, the earth fund will be split roughly in half. With half going to continuing to raise awareness, actionable steps and donations. The other half for incubating and launching projects that will use blockchain technology to address initiatives. Once we get to the incubation stage there will be further incentives for the 1 Percenters. A layer 1 that only uses sustainable sources for mining? It’s entirely possible.
While we move through these phases the community will be communicated with as to what I'm working on and where the funding is going. The financials of the earth fund will be transparent. We will also be looking to our DAO, the 1 Percenters, for input on major decisions. More on the 1 Percenters DAO below.
Value of Token:
Remember, there is only 1 Earth token. This means that the MC will be equivalent to the value of the token. When we hit millions and billions in the future, the token cost will naturally drive attention to this project. Imagine seeing a $500,000,000 token on CMC/GC wouldn’t you want to know more?
Trust:
What a rare thing in the crypto space? I’m here for the long haul and believe in this mission wholeheartedly. In all likelihood I will be here long after any of you, continuing to drive this project and its mission. Additionally, I'm doxxed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP01vGsg2kU.
Publications:
We believe that the message of this project will draw a lot of interest from publications. We will drive this aspect hard and be actively reaching out to various crypto and conservation publications.
Earth Hall Meetings:
Our community is everything. We will host weekly Earth Hall Meetings where our goals, initiatives, plans and ideas are discussed with all you Earth holders.
A Sense of Ownership:
We’re in this to “moon” the Pale Blue Dot and it’s going to take all of us to do so. Doing so will not only have a substantial financial benefit but also give us the fuel for legitimate change. We’re looking for our holders to take a true sense of ownership, step up, believe in this mission and play your part. To be straight forward (which I always will be) this is my first project. I’m looking for help to drive this to where I envision, which is beyond the oort cloud. If you are a great mod, raider or offer a unique skillset that will help us with our mission please reach out. As stated above I'll be looking for opportunities to reward valuable members with ETH or Earth. We need all of you!
Accountability:
Furthermore, I will provide provide a public link to my trello board as well as a weekly schedule. So you will know when I’ll be available and what I’m working on. There is nothing worse than not being entirely sure if you'll ever hear from the dev again.
A dev who is actually accountable to its holders...what a concept.
Lastly, what bag would you rather work harder for?
1 Percenters DAO:
Holders of one percent of EarTH or 0.01 will not only act as the DAO of this mission but also hold additional benefits. Such as:
EarTH NFT:
Did I mention there’s only one earth? Well, this message is iterated within our NFT collection as well. A collection of 1 of 1 of a 1 of 1 (it's handmade). Purchaser receives physical piece. (Coming soon)
eARTh:
I am an artist. I want to bring awareness through art.
Coincidentally most of my art has been centered around wildlife and sustainable material. I will be looking to leverage some of it for incentives and the earth fund.
Future NFTs, likely handmade (It's nice to have something tangible in a digital world) will be centered around our current initiative.
The 1 Percenters will be awarded a portion of the collection. The exact numbers are yet to be determined.
Publications:
We believe the narrative speaks for itself and will organically draw coverage in a variety of publications from crypto to conservationist outlets. We will be actively pursuing publications and media coverage.
Merch:
I've started a few apparel companies in the past. I enjoy designing merch, especially one with a message as profound as this. There will be merch collection releases in line with the quarterly initiatives. It's all the little details.
In Person Events:
A few years down the line when we are an established force with substantial resources, we will be looking to host in person events. Imagine a Pale Blue Dot sponsored/organized event with an artist like Stick Figure (my favorite artist) further spreading our cause. With proceeds being fed back into the earth fund. When we get to this stage our 1 Percenters will have free access.
Conclusion:
I will not stop driving this project forward. Not because there’s any currency amount that could actually represent the value of earth, rather it's a direct representation of our commitment to it, to our future. This is bigger than any meme, this is bigger than the blockchain, this is Earth.
For mother earth, for all mankind, for my daughter.
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
