I was going to upload this last week, but had a few tech hiccups. This will also double as a test of how long-form posting works here. I'll call this:
"Can a frog lead you down a rabbit hole? - A crypto noobs exploration of Twetch beta."

I know just the bare basics about cryptocurrencies. I have no idea why BSV is better than BTC,
or why ETH is worse than ÖÖÖ.
I have purchased like 100€ worth of BitCoin in the past but currently hold zero crypto.

So, a based little frog posts memes on Twitter, I follow it and find this thing called Twetch.
Seems cool, I'll throw in my email and wait for an invite. It arrives I make an account with MoneyButton and that's it.

As I have no means to purchase BSV, I just let the account be there, not really paying attention to the whole thing.

I like to shitpost autistic frogs on Twitter cause why not. I unleash a rain of frogs with the stachfrog and …
about being internetmoney poor. And the nice, and dare I say BASED, devs throw me some coin to get started.

With a few dollars worth of this internet magick meme money called BSV I venture forth into the great … if I know.

First things first, where is the dark mode. Ahhh, greedy little frog! I follow a few accounts, throw a like,
write my first post and doing so make my first transactions.

To be honest, it does feel little intimidating to pay for everything at first,
but when you get rolling the feeling goes away. You can really feel those dopamine hits!
Instead of Twitter clout, those likes are my new meme money!

I make some memes with paint and GIMP, upload them, pay the fee and there it is. A frog. I am proud of my creation. https://twetch.app/t/7176e04f0facb190216157bc7a631496c2f44232f06ff8c19ed4f9f1770b214f

With simple slash command The Leperchaun who promises that there is a pot of gold at the end of this @ throws me some coin for "to use this meme on Twitter".
I just bought that dark mode with a meme!

I start to realize why this is addictive. The whole thing is gamified pretty nicely.
Transaction fees are low and the requests go through fast. People will get hooked on this.

A few initial thoughts:
1. Rewards original content. On Twitter I usually don't bother to create my own memes, I just share … I find.
Now there is an incentive to create something of your own and monetize it. Will attract content creators.

2. High addiction potential. Oh boy when rest of us normies come rushing in! Fast transfers and small fees are the key. Ding for money beats ding for internet clout. Also the sum needed to get started is really low.

3. Account creation is easy and using the app is fun!

The app itself works fine with Firefox on PC and Brave on Android. Navigation is easy and I like the layout. Refreshing your timeline can be a bit janky sometimes, but I haven't come across anything that good old F5 won't fix.

Images upload just fine from both devices. Image compression algo could use some tuning, but I think fixes to this and UI will come with time. It's in beta after all.

Idea of the app is great and I hope the devs succeed with their vision.
Just maybe that pot of gold is true after all... but there is something sinister about that frog. Is it the "mu" or is it the "stach"?
