# What is $BOATY? ## **$BOATY is the world’s first game specific meme coin. $BOATY is a “Fuck You” to centralization.** To be “McBoatfaced” is to allow a centralized entity to make decisions for you, despite it being against the interest of the majority (e.g. when Boaty McBoatface won the popular vote for the March 2016 #NameOurShip competition and not being selected as the name for the ship). We believe the Mirandus community got McBoatfaced when the entire dev team was fired, and the lead visionary quit. $Boaty is a fuck you to centralization, let’s fund our own game and put it in the hands of the people. ### The $Boaty plan STEP 1 - FUCK CENTRALIZATION STEP 2 – Hire as much of the former Mirandus team as we can STEP 3 – Put the direction of the game in the hands of the many, rather than the few. WE WILL NEVER BE MCBOATFACED AGAIN! Step 4 – FUCK CENTRALIZATION --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
