In the fast-moving, often anonymous world of cryptocurrency — where teams spring up overnight and vanish just as quickly — the founder of Courage ($CCDOG) stands apart. He is a quiet veteran, a solo architect who has been honing his craft since 2015, long before crypto became mainstream.
His journey began not with speculation, but academic curiosity. “I have been involved in the crypto space since 2015, starting with writing blog posts while pursuing my degree in computer engineering,” he told The Shib. That early interest soon evolved into hands-on learning. “As I learned website development, I became deeply interested in smart contracts. I started by analyzing a few live projects at the time.”
This hands-on education pulled him deeper down the rabbit hole. After co-developing several altcoin projects, he noticed a recurring pattern of broken promises and flawed designs. To build something truly aligned with the decentralized ethos, he realized he had to take control. “Eventually, I left those teams to start my own ventures,” he recalled. “Today, I own dozens of crypto projects, each developed entirely by myself.”
It was from this well of experience — seeing firsthand what works and what doesn’t — that Courage was born. The project is his response to a market plagued by anxiety and mistrust.
“We aim to solve investor anxiety caused by market volatility,” he explained, “by offering a stable, community-driven token that promotes long-term holding and trust without the friction of taxes or centralized control.”
This philosophy is no marketing line. It stems from years in the trenches. Courage rests on non-negotiable principles: a renounced contract, zero taxes, and locked liquidity. These weren’t chosen for trendiness, but because his experience showed they were essential to earning genuine community trust.
This commitment to integrity eventually led him to the Shib Army. When asked about the most important move to prove his long-term vision, his answer wasn’t about code — it was about community.
“Securing a strategic partnership with Shiba Inu was a game-changer,” he shared emphatically with The Shib. “It validates our project’s potential, aligns us with a major ecosystem, and signals to the community that we’re committed to real, sustainable growth. We’re not here to play games — this is a serious project built to last.”
His excitement peaks when he speaks about the future of this alliance. “The integration into the metaverse is the most exciting milestone,” he shared, outlining plans for a Web3 and metaverse activation that includes an exclusive NFT airdrop for LEASH holders and a livestreamed event in SHIB: The Metaverse.
For him, this partnership is the next logical step in a journey that began with a simple belief in community power.
After nearly a decade in crypto, his vision for the coming year is ambitious. “I’d be proud to say Courage has expanded its community tenfold, secured multiple top-tier exchange listings, and launched innovative utilities that enhance holder value,” he concluded.
