The CTP Tribe - A Look Back & Forward
CTP...
A bunch of entrepreneurs with very little blockchain background that had this crazy idea to bring their community to...The chain!
As soon as Hive Engine (Steem Engine at the time) started, we jumped on board. We were one of the first tokens ever created on the second layer and while it's been a very 'slow and steady' approach to building the CTP tribe and token, I'm so excited for the future of it all.
Let's go over some wins, some losses and some opportunities we see going forward with our tribe and related tokens....
The Good, The Bad, & The Soon
This was our timeline in 2021...And as you can see, we're batting about 500. I know, it's 2022...But hey, we're still here lol Seriously though, we are happy with the progress we have made but we overestimated how quickly we could get things out to market.
Let's go over it all:
The Good
We re-worked CTPtalk and while we didn't get the custom job we hoped for, building upon Outpost has been great so far. We have a few more tweaks scheduled for the upcoming quarter, but overall, we're happy with our front end :)
Our affiliate network has been launched to help streamline our affiliate programs into one central hub. We will be using this going forward to help serve all our members for our sites in the future.
FirePay and HivePay have been greatly improved. HivePay continues to serve the blockchain well and FirePay helps our credit card customers with constant improvements.
The big one, ListNerds It was launched and the platform, works perfectly. As for the inflation and the tokenomics...We're chipping away :) Lots to learn and lots to continue to build with the web's first blockchain based mailer.
The Bad
- Secret Project #1 has been put on pause for the time being. Secret Project #2 is actually built, but there is some major issues we need to figure out on a code level before we release it. Secret Project #3 actually combined our rebrand and launch of ListNerds.
The Soon(iverse) - Trademark - Khal and LEO!
Our custom built membership script is technically live...Wanna see it? Check out ListNerds. However the commercial version of it, is running late! We wanted this done last year but we're very close now to having it available to the market.
The split of CTP, to create 2 unique training platforms under one umbrella and brand...Is close! Along with that will come the CTP Team rebuild!
And finally, Secret Project #4 is literally....Game changing. I'll put this in 'later rather than sooner' though, but it's being worked on every day and when this is released...Oh boy!
Community Building!
This never ends! And during the past few years we've been working every single day with not only the CTP Tribe but the entire Hive blockchain as well.
We now have 3 witnesses. 1 for the Hive main chain (@clicktrackprofit) and then 2 for Hive-Engine (@clicktrackprofit and @ctplite). Obviously, we're HUGE fans of this blockchain and want to make sure we do our part to help decentralize as much as we can.
We're continuing to build the CryptoManiacs podcast, along with @taskmaster4450 and it's been such a powerful tool to help raise awareness for Hive as a whole. Heck, we're on episode 143 tomorrow btw ;)
HE-Index has been a huge success as well. Rewarding token holders with daily dividends and continuing to be one of the premier income tokens on Hive Engine.
Hive Pay and Hive Pay SWAP are used every single day here on chain. Our goal is to bring much more commerce to Hive and allow entrepreneurs to easily and effectively integrate Hive and Hive Engine payments directly into their websites.
The Hive Guide has grown to thousands of members. And since it's launch, we've brought countless new members to the blockchain. The platform is designed to help navigate the waters for new members when they are first onboarded to Hive. It's always free to use and join :)
And finally, the CTP Tipping bot was launched about a month or so ago. And the goal is to...Not only reward content creators with CTP tips, but to help distribute the CTP token. It's not how a project starts, it's what happens after it's launched. And it's so important for us to distribute this token as much as possible. Especially for everything we're planning in the coming years :)
Like I mentioned...
We did overestimate the speed at which we could get everything launched. However here's something I hope I showcase through my actions and not just words.
We'll be here tomorrow!
And we'll be here next week!
And we'll be here next year!
(God willing of course lol)
But the point being, every single day we are here, we're building. We're growing. We're learning. And we're trying to add value to this amazing blockchain and it's remarkable community.
Thanks for rocking with us all these years and here's to many more to come :)

Great one man!
I hope a diesel pool for ctp is somewhere on the roadmap ... even a small one :)
Never know what might be coming next ;)
!CTP
I'd like to see one for LISTNERDS too.
It's amazing what your team managed to build. With Listnerds you kind of created a platform that was linked to the blockchain like nothing else I've seen so far. Well the tokenomics can still be repaired I believe :-). I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store!
Appreciate ya' man, thanks for all the support over the years. Big things ahead :)
!CTP
You are helping ctp too with the power up challenge. Nice work!!
!PIZZA
Amazing to see what was achieved by CTP and it is going from strength to strength
Thank you sir, it's crazy we've been doing this for so long but I still feel we are just getting started!
!CTP
First of all huge congrats to the team!! You guys rock. I have been impressed for a long time and I am very happy that I purchased those miners back in the day. Even though I do not post a ton about CTP worthy topics I do post occasionally about my busniess and how I am building a hive account that I am proud of. I still really respect and learn a lot from you all.
I even powered up 1000 plus ctp for the ctpsb power up challenge going on right now. almost to 50k ctp power.
Game changing project number 4 only means good things for those ctp tokens.

I hope those select few that bought and held those CTPM....Will be VERY happy you did in the very near future :)
Appreciate the support man, from day one!

CTP is one of the most solid tribes that HIVE has and it's great to always see movement to improve the project!
Thanks for sharing.

Appreciate that. We hope we embody it...Solid, stays the course :)

The last ten years or so have been a wild ride.
I do believe that CTP has found a permanent home on this blockchain.
I know that you three are heavily invested in Hive and Hive Engine, and I do not foresee any of you cashing out and walking away. That would be stupid since this will soar in the next few years.
Keep up the good work, and great things will follow. I hope you know that I am all in on CTP and ListNerds.
Man, you know the situation I was in when Blain and I found this chain...It was rough. It truly did save my life!
!CTP
Congratulations on this long and prosperous journey, I will vote for my first witnesses and they will be for you. A hug to all the CTP team.
Thanks for that, we appreciate the support :)
!CTP
It is all fracking awesome sauce 👌
We do out best lol
!CTP
I know 😀
I think you guys sticking to your roadmap is what makes the journey interesting. A lot of times people drop their thing and move on to something different. That kind of makes life a bit difficult in general. Good to see things are working out for you guys, all the best on those secret projects :)
This is true, we love celebrating "new" project, but we should strive to celebrate "kept going" projects.
I'm excited about the secret projects as well.
We used to have code names for our secret projects...We might have to bring that back instead of just calling it secret project #2 lol
!CTP
Great look back on what has been done and what is coming for CTP Jon, and yes it's like Elon says, moving things from impossible to late is the goal, keep up the good work and stay awesome.

@jongolson! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @thisisawesome. (5/20)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
Appreciate it man. Yeah we have to keep it moving, non stop, always forward!

Great to hear, and by the way will membership script use the blockhain as the database by any chance?
Like storing the content in a post, and then custom json for the referral IDs.

That are a lot of secret projects out there. It's nice to see a game plan going forward though and the development continues.

Slow and steady man, that's the only model we know!
!CTP
This is a lively community with a lot of work done and good news to come. Congratulations!
!CTP
Lots of amazing people here on Hive and a lot of them come from CTP :)
!CTP
"God" is totally centralized, nothing to do with blockchain or Hive... 😎 AND he did a few rug pulls during his time 🤨
Much needed rug pulls lol
!CTP
Great job guys! I'm a big fan of your work, especially the podcast!
Looking forward to the secret projects!

Thanks for checking them out, we love doing them every week!

This is epic stuff @jongolson
I of course am on HIVE (2 years today) because of you and the CTP team, so I am proud to always reiterate that a thousand times over.
I'm along for the ride!!!
!CTP
Thank you sir, the friendship over the years and all the support mean a ton!
!CTP
You guys are doing an awesome job putting all these together and keeping it running successfully, that is why we able today to connect and engage with one another on this platform, thanks so much.
Yeah it's all part of our bigger plan. Which a lot of people may not see yet, but we'll be here to make sure it all works out :)
!CTP
Awesome work @jongolson! Looking forward to all the things that are lined up!
Thanks very much! Exciting stuff for sure :)
!CTP
Congratulations on the major progress that was made during the past year. It was a lot of great stuff that was released. Creating a plan to be measured against is the best way to proceed. Most people do not even do that. If there is not a plan how do you know if you are making progress. Lessons learned which will help future planning. Take care.
!CTP
Our days are basically always on paper, how we go about things and build...It's just some times, we get tripped up lol And not always on target. But we get back ont rack :)
!CTP
Heyyyyy. Episode 143, hope you include lots of !LUV in it (anyone else speak pager here?).
Let's keep batting at 500 because in baseball talk 50% is amazing... school wise percentage its an F and this project does not get an F.
The game changing project. Should I be HODLING my CTP, my listnerds? Or both?
@metzli(1/4) gave you LUV.

Good luck, Jon!

I shall just have to stick around and see it all happen, won't I? 😀
Not everything needs to be quick! Slow and steady, remember? :) I do, and I have enough patience for that.
@jongolson, thanks for the updates.
Ups and downs are always there. Delays are inevitable.
I am looking forward to the new changes as it comes.
When you guys relaunched a few years ago I was super excited to get back on board. And now it's even more fun and exciting watching the changes and growth. And participating. Looking forward to what is coming.
