I'm not supposed to be launching a meme coin. I'm supposed to be warning you about them.

For the past two years, I've been running ScamHoundCrypto.com, fighting crypto scams and auditing DeFi protocols. I've reviewed close to 100 projects and found the same pattern everywhere: 99% pure speculation, no real utility.

It made me cynical. Really cynical. But it also made me wonder: what if someone tried something different?

THE PROBLEM I'VE WATCHED FOR 30 YEARS

After three decades in IT and network security, I've seen the same problem destroy productivity at every organization I've worked with: people forget passwords.

We've tried everything:

  • Complex password requirements → People write them on sticky notes
  • Forced resets every 90 days → People just increment the number
  • Password managers → 60% adoption at best
  • Biometrics and 2FA → Now we have passwords AND fingerprints AND codes

Nothing actually solved the problem. We just kept adding complexity.

The average company with 100 employees spends $50-100K per year on password resets. Same problem. Different decade. Every company I've worked with.

After 30 years of watching this, I decided to actually build something about it.

FROM FIGHTING SCAMS TO BUILDING SOLUTIONS

I didn't start in crypto as a believer. I started as a skeptic.

After 30 years in network security, I watched crypto explode with:

  • Projects promising impossible returns
  • Anonymous teams that disappeared overnight
  • Zero actual utility
  • Constant rug pulls and exit scams

So I built ScamHoundCrypto.com - a platform to detect and expose crypto scams.

I've reviewed close to 100 projects. Maybe 5% had any real utility. The rest? Pure speculation, anonymous teams, impossible promises.

But after years of just pointing out the bad projects, I realized something:

Instead of fighting scams, why not BUILD what crypto should be?

PASSWORD123: UTILITY-FIRST CRYPTO

So I'm combining both: the password problem I know intimately with crypto that actually has utility.

Password123 is:

  • FREE password security tools anyone can use (no wallet required)
  • Token-gated premium features (hold $PWD123, unlock advanced tools)
  • Building community around a universal frustration
  • Real transparency - my actual name and credentials attached

This isn't:

  • Promising moon or unrealistic returns
  • Anonymous team hiding behind cartoon avatars
  • Pure speculation with no utility
  • Complex whitepaper with impossible claims

I'm not promising this will 100x or make anyone rich.

I'm building useful tools and seeing if people value that enough to make the token worth holding. That's the experiment.

ABOUT $PWD123

$PWD123 on Solana

  • LAUNCHED: November 19, 2025
  • PURPOSE: Token-gated access to premium password tools

DISCLAIMER:

This is NOT financial advice. This is an experiment in utility-first crypto.

Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. Crypto is risky. Most projects fail.

But if you're tired of anonymous teams promising moon and delivering nothing, maybe this is worth watching.
