Lamb Of God's Randy Blythe and Devildriver's Dez Fafara back new cryptocurrency Chakra Coin

Official press release:

Metal singers Dez Fafara and D. Randall Blythe abide by the maxim to "put your money where your mouth is" with Chakra Coin, a new cryptocurrency designed to foster community and invest in charitable causes.

Longtime friends, both frontmen earned gold records with their respective bands and share unwavering commitments to artistic integrity, with a progressive outlook and attitude about the world around them. While it is a deflationary token allowing for passive income generation, the core Chakra Coin team pledge to donate a portion of profits to various causes and hope to encourage the whole community to do the same.

"I'm a believer in Chakra Coin," explains Fafara, best-known as the frontman for DevilDriver and Coal Chamber and a co-founder of The Oracle Management, representing extreme music titans like Cradle Of Filth and Jinjer. "We started this venture to create a community of giving back and paying it forward. I will donate partial proceeds to multiple charity organizations. I hope that everyone who participates in Chakra Coin will do the same, creating a better world and a more cohesive existence for everyone involved."

Chakra Coin is a decentralized, deflationary meme token. It is similar to Shiba Inu, Safemoon, and other cryptocurrencies that took the global financial ecosystem by storm after early adopters of these tokens saw their value skyrocket in a relatively short time span. Chakra Coin combines profitable yield generating DeFi and safe store-of-value, a gas-free cryptocurrency free from friction and borders. Its stated disruptive aim is to help usher in a fairer economic standard of living. Chakra Coin is also a fully community-owned token.

"The potential of blockchain technology, including DeFi and cryptocurrencies, to create a more equitable system of wealth distribution is extremely intriguing to me," offers Blythe. "It is my hope that being involved on the ground floor with a cryptocurrency community that holds a charitable component as one of its core tenants will be one small step towards creating a fairer, more altruistic economic system for everyone."

His band, Lamb Of God, earned five Grammy nominations across eight studio albums. Lamb Of God toured with Metallica, Slayer and Slipknot as they ascended to the top-tier of modern metal bands; they recently wrapped a U.S. tour co-headlining with Megadeth. Blythe is also an accomplished photographer and bestselling author. In addition to sharing stages together, Blythe and Fafara are partners in the SunCult surf wear brand.

Both are quick to point out that they are not financial advisors, and they encourage their friends, peers, and fans to conduct their own consultations with qualified advisors about Chakra Coin, or any investments. At this time cryptocurrencies are still highly volatile, and no one should invest money they can't afford to lose into any sort of asset, cryptocurrency or otherwise.

"Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Safemoon, and all of the stuff happening with cryptocurrencies is immensely exciting," adds Fafara. "My hope is that Chakra Coin will encourage others to share the wealth with the less fortunate."

Crypto fanatics really think every government in the world would ignore a threat to the global financial system. Don't get me wrong some little guys made money here but there's a reason it's gone unchecked. That thing is dominated by whales and it's a haven for the same corrupt elites they think they are going to defeat by investing in it but the irony is they are just handing those rich guys their money directly.

It's one massive wealth transfer, and so many people have been blinded by fast money that they're oblivious to the fact that it's controlled by the same elites. Like you said, why on Earth would these people allow a new monetary system to replace their old one so easily? They won't, and they aren't. NFTs are a massive swindle aswell - the digital version of modern art. And if you look at the NFTs that are being pushed, it's vast majority female, black, trans, and celebrity artists. Not because they're any good, but purely because of agenda.

^^^^ I've been watching people say Bitcoin is tulips, beanie babies and a ponzi for almost a decade. All while making a butt load of money by buying and holding. Then people start to take is a little more seriously and say governments will stop it. Truth is they can't and they will start stock piling it in their reserves. Countries are already starting to do this. El Salvador for example.

anonymous 11/7/2021 9:36:07 AM

So yeah there are elites making money off crypto but it allows everyone to participate and having Bitcoin as a good way out of relying on Government currency is huge.

And if you look at the NFTs that are being pushed, it's vast majority female, black, trans, and celebrity artists. Not because they're any good, but purely because of agenda. What the heck? The top NFT projects are Axie, Crypto Punks and NBA Top Shot. Look at cryptoslam.io to see. Top selling NFT artist is Beeple who has been accused of of racism, sexism, and homophobia.

Countries are already starting to do this. El Salvador for example. You clearly didn't read what was said. They can stop it but they don't because it isn't a threat and they are involved themselves. El Salvador is just the first country to openly admit it. If Bitcoin is so secure how did the FBI track down and pull the money back from that pipeline ransom? 🤔

"Today we turned the tables on DarkSide," Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said during a press briefing, adding that the money was seized via a court order. At the briefing, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate said agents were able to identify a virtual currency wallet that the DarkSide hackers used to collect payment from Colonial Pipeline. "Using law enforcement authority, victim funds were seized from that wallet, preventing Dark Side actors from using them," Abbate said. Bitcoin is pseudonymous. You can follow the transactions on chain but you don't know who someone is. That is until it hits and exchange and they can identify you, which is what it sounds like happened here. The hackers also request Monero and would have been better just taking that because it is untraceable. If countries don't view it as a threat why has China been so hostile towards BTC? All while developing their own central bank digital currency.

anonymous 11/7/2021 11:54:55 AM

Lol maybe the real future is a better digital wallet? 🤣 If you don't think the governments around the world aren't using ex-hackers and crypto clowns as ops you're a bigger fool than someone investing 1/2 their yearly earnings into it. Keep giving the elites your money and waiting for it to hit so you can double up on that useless investment that will have to be exchanged back into fiat to make a shit in the real world.

anonymous 11/7/2021 12:19:11 PM

Double up on that useless investment? I've 1000x off my BTC. There are plenty of ways to spend it with out exchanging it but also better to just hold onto it at this point. More and more adoption means more places that accept it. Idk what you tin fool hat gov ops BS is supposed to mean anyways? It does not matter how much a government owns of Bitcoin that can influence the network. They just have more funds then those who don't.

anonymous 11/7/2021 12:22:46 PM

I also am the idiot that put all my money into it when it was worth way less than it is now. The elites you keep mentioning are mostly just early adopters like me that new people are buying coins off of. This has been the first time that the little guys have had a jump on the "elites" so idk what you are trying to say. You just sound to me like someone that does not understand this stuff and is salty you didn't make money off of it.

It's not even the first of it's kind there we're coins long before these that also had decent runs so quit pretending because it hasn't gone under in ten years it's here forever. The thing is a way to move weapons and drugs between nations and you guys make chump change in comparison due to that. The Cartel is a portion of what stabilizes the world economy hence why no one f's with it but that's a whole other conversation. And before you even respond even if you personally made $1M it's chump change compared to what the real players using it for it's intended purpose make on their dark deals.
