The Moment Everything Changed

Life is filled with defining moments. Some we do not realize we are in until they have passed, and we later reflect. It becomes clear that it was the moment that everything changed. What defines those moments? What are the characteristics of those points in time where the wheels of fate and progress complete their respective cycles and lock together in unity of purpose?

Some say, we make our own fate. Others think that we only experience the path as it has been laid out before us, only choosing to learn the lessons within or neglect them. The commonality between the two would be the unbroken attention of the observer in either scenario, the realization that history is happening before their eyes, and that the curling finger of fate is beckoning, be it either ordained or created. Do you recognize now that finger which motions before you? Resting itself just for a moment in this place and time? Or will you only look back years later to realize it was there, like what so often happens in life? What is time other than a glance at events transpiring only inside ones mind? All of life fleeting and impermanent in a way. Only the memory of experience is real, and the choice of what lens to view it through. Time itself is subjective to you, the Observer, and what you choose to let it define for you.

In the digital age and world filled with technology, Artificial Intelligence can be invoked ever more accurately mirrored to organic consciousness. The point where man merges with machine — The Singularity, can also be defined as the point where our thoughts and intentions are perfectly translated to the digital world. What else is Cryptocurrency other than a medium with which to do so? It carries all of our hopes, dreams, aspirations, and our future. Our wealth and our livelihood is translated into and transformed by it. Our choice of portfolio you could say becomes us, defines us, and is an extension of us into the digital realm. Our thoughts and intentions are forever encapsulated into the timeless space of the digital, and the lines between man and machine become ever more blurred. As we find ourselves on the forefront of this burgeoning technological and financial revolution, it becomes ever more important to examine what it truly means to us. We are the adventurers, the digital prospectors, the world-transformers, and the beating heart of all blockchains… we are the Sonarians.

Founders AMA September 29, 2021

• Michael, our beloved CFO, has nearly returned to us. Following a harrowing multi-week ordeal to leave Laos for Spain, he is eager to dive back in fully rested, recovered, and settled.
• Community engagement through Blockchain Education will be increased and further incentivized by use of NFT-style awards that are given to attendees of each episode.
• We are excited to announce the semi-public testnet of our Ethereum Bridge on Monday, October 4th. Several selected community members as well as YouTube influencers will be taking part in the testing of the Ethereum bridge. CertiK has begun their audit of the bridge contract. Barring any major issues, we remain on schedule for an October 12th full release of the bridge and a subsequent Uniswap listing of $ePing!
• We have secured advertising for WebSummit Lisbon 2021. Huge Sonar banners will be visible by all who traverse the halls, and we will be there in person to promote our project and network with the big names who attend.
• We have received the video agenda from Finstreet. Production is beginning now and the first of 10 videos will be released in November and continue through the end of December. They will be published on various SE Asian media outlets, “India’s TikTok”, and other short-form video venues. The content will include informational overviews and tutorials based around our products in development, the team, and the $PING token.
• Incorporation is in two major phases: registering the Whitepaper with regulators, and registering the business. This is in order to fully own and operate not only our token, but any crypto-related IP and technology we develop as a company. This process takes considerably more time than incorporating quickly through an indirect holding company. Once complete this will grant us full transparent and legal support to innovate, own, and control our products in full eyes of the law.
• Subsequently, the Whitepaper is being overhauled and updated in order to include and better reflect our enhanced vision and accomplishments thus far. This will be the version that is being registered with Maltese authorities. None of the core elements are being removed, only additional goals and specifics are being added to.
• Development on the Ethereum bridge is COMPLETE. Therefore, our existing development resources will now be allocated completely to the Platform and the Web3 Wallet. Cristiano is projecting a demo of the Platform in action will be available to view in just a few weeks time.
• We are on the verge of announcing our biggest marketing announcement — EVER. We will leave the “hype” there but we are quite excited about it and can’t wait to share! Things that are to be announced soon are events that were set in motion months ago.
• We will have a coordinated marketing push upon the Bridge release which will include a banner campaign on EthScan, a highly effective form of marketing.
• Finally, the Founders get personal and we speak candidly about our backgrounds and personal lives. This begins around the 45m mark and continues throughout. For those wanting us to get a little more personal, it is worth a watch.

No sentimental closing paragraph this week. Just get ready guys.
