Name: Big Mac

Short bio:
Discovered crypto and joined the Nimiq community in 2017. Just an average guy with a non-tech background. I think Nimiq needs more sharpness and fire in how it is promoted and would like to see Community Council support for awareness, marketing, and onboarding initiatives.

What I’ve done for the Nimiq community:

  • Memes and comics.
  • Active in fostering community discussions and debates. ie: helped facilitate forum discussion about original supply curve vote. Vocal participant in Telegram brawls. Occasionally level criticism at the team when it seems warranted.
  • Promotion and onboarding in my own circles and cold contacting various crypto players. ie: privately facilitated contact between Ten31/Celsius Network back in 2021.
  • Stealth promotion of NIM(iq) to randos on X.
  • Generally spend lots of time thinking about crypto narratives and the nature of value/money and try to keep that as part of the discussion about NIM/Nimiq.
