Edition #2— Chantey’s, Consolidation and new Coastlines
“WE GO TO THE MOOOOOOON;
WITH A BOTTLE OF RUM;
ISSA PIRATE TING
WHAT WE GOT GOIN ON”
Sorry bucaneers, I couldn’t resist starting this article with these lines, because I have this song literally stuck in my head!! My wife is getting sick of me singing this over and over and over! For those who may have been living under a pirate rock, we released our own MoonPirate anthem this week. Yes, it’s a bit of fun. However, the strongest thing about this project is the community and so I think it’s very fitting we have our own anthem, which I’m not sure if any other cryptocurrency has?
The MoonPirate anthem can be listened to on YouTube (with lyrics) and it’s also available on Spotify and iTunes!! Check out the Youtube link below:
Also, for a bit of fun, check out some of the latest pinned messages in our official MoonPirate Telegram Group (you may hear some of our members singing along…some good! and some not so good haha).
I also cannot believe we broke the 50K barrier this week (number of holders). To achieve that in less than a fortnight is pretty special.
Ok, now last weeks Medium Article (Edition #1) was pretty big and full of information. If you haven’t read that I would encourage you to do so. However, this weeks edition is even bigger! So grab a coffee, beer or rum, put your feet up and enjoy this edition :)
Actually, I’m going to create a table of contents as there is so much to discuss:
- CoinGecko / CoinMarketCap / LiveCoinWatch / CoinHunt / BSC
- Audit #2
- Website Updates
- Merch Store
- AMA’s
- Marketing
- PirateSwap
- Distillery Update
- Exciting Announcement #1
- Exciting Announcement #2
- Exciting Announcement #3
- Exciting Announcement #4
- Exciting Announcement #5
As you can see, there’s going to be a lot of reading in this one!!!! Enjoy!
CoinGecko / CMC / LiveCoinWatch / CoinHunt / BSC
Applications! Applications! Applications!
Last week we announed that MoonPirate had been added to:
- Blockfolio
- Delta
- Stocktwits
You will see that we have updated the website accordingly:
This week I am happy to announce that we are now on LiveCoinWatch and CoinHunt, so we continue to expand. BSC has also been updated with our logo and some of our socials which is great.
Now, I mentioned this last week and I’ll mention it again in this edition — can we please stop asking about CoinGecko and CMC in the Telegram group. We have moderators working hard to ensure all your questions are answered 24/7, however we get asked this question at least 100 times a day and that is no exaggeration.
Please see the FAQ section of our website for more:
https://www.moonpirate.finance/#FAQ
I don’t pretend to understand how CG and CMC operate. I’m not privy to their approval mechanisms or processes. However, there is absolutely no rush for any of these. Yes the applications have been submitted, but these aren’t even close to the top of our priority list. In fact, I think waiting for these is actually better. Remember, we are a long term project. We will continue to grow and expand as we mature. Personally, I’d be happy to wait 6 months for both of these. Despite both applications pending, there is no rush. Any future questions will simply be referred to the above FAQ from here on in.
Audit #2
We already had one audit completed by SafeFairMoon and we we paid TechRate to also provide us with a full auit as well, just for peace of mind for our investors. Both audits passed with flying colours.

Website Updates
A lot of cryptocurrency websites are created and that’s it. They aren’t updated, they just become stagnant and eventually serve no purpose. At MoonPirate, we are the exact opposite. Our website is being updated literally everyday.
I won’t list every single update that we have made, but some of these include:
- updating social media links
- data (marketcap, holders etc.) updated daily
- new, fresh, innovative graphics
Merch Store
At MoonPirate HQ, one of the things we have been VERY keen from day one was to launch our Merch Store. It has been continually refined over the past fortnight to ensure when it launches, it’s ready to go.
I’m not going to give away all the goodies that will be available, but I literally cannot wait to buy some MoonPirate merch and I hope you’re as excited as me.
I can’t give an exact date, but all I will say is it’s very, very, very close and watch out for our live AMA’s :)
AMA’S
The MoonPirate Founder did an AMA this week with the good folk at Project MoonGold. For those who haven’t listened to it yet, you can check it out here:
YouTube AMA — MoonPirate Founder
The MoonPirate Community Manager has also done various AMA’s as well, all of which have been posted in our Telegram Announcement Channel.
MoonPirate Announcements — Telegram
More AMA’s are coming soon :)
Marketing
I haven’t been involved in most of the marketing to be honest, as I’ve had other important MoonPirate business to attend to. But the team and community as a whole continue to ensure our name is getting out there.
Some of the marketing this week included:
- MoonPirate Anthem (see start of this edition)
- Contant Twitter Updtates (in the best pirate undertone you could ask for!)
- Various AMA’s
- Instagram Model dressing up as pirate
- Reddit Updates
- Finishing 2nd in SatoshiStreetBets Moonshot Monday
- Videos uploaded to official MoonPirate YouTube channel
- YouTube videos from a whole bunch of influencers (too many to list)
- Torin Hoffman YouTube Video (who really helped kickstart other crypto)
- Tony Montana Crypto Gem Hunter Tweet
There is also MUCH more but you’ll have to read some of our exciting announcements below.
PirateSwap
It was announced in a live AMA last week (via our Community Manager) that PirateSwap is coming. Basically, PirateSwap will allow investors to purchase MoonPirate directly on our website, without having to go to PancakeSwap.
Now, like the merch store, this is very close.
Stay tuned for more :)
Distillery Update
As everyone knows we are collaborating with Get Nok, who are a startup distillery based in California. And when I say startup, I am talking about from the ground up. For more information, read last week’s medium edition as it will talk about this in more detail. In this edition, I wanted to give some updates.
Firstly, we have been waiting to hear if CBD can in fact be used in the rum (infusion). Get Nok have heard back and apparently this is only allowed in non-alcoholic drinks. Not to worry, so the rum will no longer be CBD infused.
CBD infusion was simply to make it a little “unique”, so Get Nok have now reached out to a bioscience company regarding a product called Phytocannabinoids (which, I’ve been told, is ok to use). Worst case scenario, there is no infusion, and we just have a piratey good dark rum with a molasses base and a hint of coconut :)
Some of the equipment should be arriving at Get Nok HQ any week now. Here is a sneak peak at one of their invoices:
I also have some photos of the distillery office and warehouse. Now remember, this is a startup company and the setup of equipment and their distillery is just getting started! Updated pics will be shared every step of the way so all MoonPirate holders feel part of this exciting journey.
The MoonPirate label (for the rum bottle) is around 90% complete but this will not be shared at this stage. LOTS to happen in this space and it’s very exciting. Remember, as per last week’s Medium edition, it will be a good 3 to 5 months before the rum is ready to sell. This is not a race. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither is rum.
Exciting Announcement #1 — Pirate Pixels (NFTs)
Ok, so there’s quite a few exciting announcements. I’ll leave the best ones for last ;)
The first one is Pirate Pixels. We are looking to launch a Pirate Pixel collection on an NFT trading platform (such as Rarible or OpenSea). There will be one Pirate Pixel per week. Whatever is raised per Pirate Pixel, we will look to give away in some shape and form to some lucky MoonPirate holders (we are still working out exactly what we will do). I imagine the first Pirate Pixel will be launched next week, so stay tuned :)
Exciting Announcement #2 — Charity
We have hired an illustrator who works on Warhammer video game illustrations.
He has hand drawn, a one of a kind, MoonPirate piece of art.
This is also going to be auctioned as an NFT. This is one of a kind and the winner will be the only person to ever hold this art (unless they sell it themselves down the line).
All proceeds from this auction will go to “Pirate Day — Kids Cancer Project”.
You can check out this website below:
The donation to this charity will be shared and made visible to all.
The auction date is TBD but it won’t be far off. Here is some images of the “one of a kind” artwork available at auction and how the illustration progressed through different stages (note: the winner of the NFT auction will receive the full size original version).
It’s hard to see in the small example screenshot below, but the final version also has MoonPirate logo on the bottle and treasure chest.
Exciting Announcement #3 — Digital Billboards + Scavenger Hunt
Ok, this is a big one. MoonPirate is NOW LIVE (yes, right now) on digital billboards in the US!!!!!!!!!
Below is an example of our billboard:
As of right now, they are LIVE in California, Texas, Georgia and Florida. There is THIRTEEN in total.
We have two more coming in New York in the coming days.
These are the addresses of the LIVE billboards:
And these are the addresses of the NY billboards, which should be live soon:
AND….we also have one more which is pending approval. If it’s approved (and we don’t see why it won’t be), we will have a digital billboard in….big pirate drum roll….TIMES SQUARE!!!!!!!!! Yes, this is happening (as long as they approve haha).
Finally, we have a competition for the FIRST person who is able to take a picture of one of these MoonPirate Digital Billboards. The photo needs to be tweeted to our official MoonPirate twitter account.
MoonPirate is only live on Billboards 5pm to 7pm!!!!!!!!!!
So this is pretty exciting!!!!
Exciting Announcement #4 — WorldStar/YouTube MoonPirate rap song/video
I’ll keep this one short as I haven’t had much to do with it.
We have a MoonPirate rap song (like a full on legit rap song…no joke…I’ve heard it and it’s literally insane! Something you would hear on MTV) being launched and it will have a corresponding video as well. It will be on our MoonPirate YouTube channel….and….we have reached out to WorldStar for them to share it. The last one isn’t “officially” confirmed, but we are feeling pretty positive. If they share it, we could expect 500K + views.
Exciting Announcement #5 — MoonPirate Beer (5 to 6 weeks away!!)
Ok, I’ve kept this one to last.
Now, everyone knows about the rum, which is super exciting. We will bring you updates on Get Nok distillery and the rum every step along the way. As mentioned in the Distillery chapter above, the rum is probably a good 3 to 5 months away.
So we wanted to see what the possibilities would be of getting some kind of MoonPirate alcohol release sooner rather than later. Just to show we are real and truly serious about this!
So, the exciting news is, we are collaborating with the good folk at Catchment Brewing Co, in Brisbane Australia.
This is a funky brewery/bar in a beautful uptown/affluent suburb called West End. They have a lovely CEO, who is excited to join us on this adventure.
They are releasing a MoonPirate Tropical IPA (flavour subject to change) and it will be available in the next 5 to 6 weeks. Now, this beer will only be available on tap to start with at the bar. Lucky Aussies!!!
If the keg does well, there will be future discussions around transforming it into a can/bottle release, which is super exciting.
We will be organising a MoonPirate Launch Party at the venue with giveaways, handing out pirate eye patches, possibly moonpirate models and more.
We will also have a YouTuber (beer reviewer) attending the launch, who will give a full review on the beer on his channel. And lastly, we will put together a marketing video of the entire launch party event, which will be shared on all of our social media channels.
Now I know not all of you are in Australia and I’m sorry you are unable to taste this alcohol and attend the launch party. However, I felt it was important to get something released and this will really get the MoonPirate brand out there.
So I would like to offically welcome Catchment Brewing Co!!
If everyone could like/share all their social media channels, that would be amazing. I have listed them below.
Catchment Brewing Co — Facebook
Catchment Brewing Co — Instagram
Catchment Brewing Co — Twitter
I’d also like to share some pics of the labels that will appear on the tap in the bar (subject to change):
And some concept art of a bottle of beer:
Well, that’s it from me. What an action packed edition.
Thanks for everyone reading and cheers!!!!!!!!!!
