# What is ALPHpaca's

### ALPHpaca's

ALPHpaca's is my project that I created for Alephium. I came to Alephium during my junior years attending university and fell in love with the smart contracts, the ecosystem and most importantly the people.&#x20;

### Token

I created the second token ever made on Alephium. While it's price currently is not an achievement it is something that makes ALPHpaca's special.&#x20;

### NFTs (ALPHpaca's)

I was never a talented artist but if I had spent a lot of time on one piece of art then it would have been these NFTs. I like them. I think they all reflect a chill developer somewhat like myself but each sort different. Don't get me wrong there's some weird image overlapping but that's why I like them.&#x20;

### A message from Benjamin

I came into crypto just like anyone else... chasing the financial future which I believed I was on the cusp of, and I have learned a lot since being excited about a $1 a day on my GTX 1060 6gb. I was firstly a kid who just wanted some internet money and so I invested in ETC which later had a wild run to about $180. Who would have thunk? I think that gave me a fever because after that I got another GPU and the mining fever began. I had $100 a month coming in from ETH and I remember going onto crypto gambling sites playing 'plinko'. I lost it all. Ohh well. Sooner or later I started mining alt coins and Ergo popped my interest. I was an Ergonaut for quite some time and eventually I learned that I get involved with the community long enough where eventually I find the noise and I attack it. I don't like seeing people FOMO others to buy a coin, I don't like people who post speculative pump tactics. I like posting like an alpaca which often involves a very interesting sense of humor. I eventually found Alephium and so far I like it alot and now since I have became a developer I could see myself spending a long time here. I like what I am building and Alephium has given me that platform to express myself through code and watch others use it.&#x20;

... and that's ALPHpaca's my platform for watching others use and have fun with my code while also making their way through Alephium's ups and downs.&#x20;
