It is a curated capital formation event that sets GooMoney on a strong foundation: * Aligns with Bitcoin’s ethos: public, transparent, and fair * Grows the BTC-denominated treasury from day one * Gives early supporters meaningful exposure at favorable terms * Reinforces a protocol owned liquidity base * Ensures GOO enters the market with both floor value and utility **The Genesis Event is your entry into a new kind of monetary system — one backed by satoshis, powered by DeFi, and governed by the community.**
