Shitcoin Digest: Quantum (QAU)
Quantum (QAU)
According to their website, “Quantum tokens are bought back, sent to the black hole address and cryptographically destroyed on a monthly basis. This process causes the amount of units in existence to decrease every month and makes Quantum stand out in the world of money printing and inflationary currencies! Since there are less Quantums available as the time goes by, the remaining units still held by investors gain in value as the destruction process puts constant upward pressure on the price. We put all bitcoins received from the sale of Quantum tokens into a pool of funds that we call Liquidity Pool. These bitcoins are then put to work and generate interest from lending to exchanges for margin trading, making markets, arbitraging price differences between different exchanges and other forms of possible low risk income generation. All income from these activities is then used to buy back Quantum tokens on the market and send them to a black hole address. At the end of the month we take all Quantums in the black hole address and cryptographically destroy them by using a smart contract on the Ethereum network.” I like this! A lot!!! I am putting them in the “yes” category. if of no other reason they are only a dime per coin at the time of this writing.
Picture a young Michael Beebe, fresh out of La Porte High School in ’93, diving headfirst into the world of hospitality with a busboy gig at the old La Porte Holiday Inn. That hustle led him to an Associate of Science from Purdue-North Central in ’95 and a Bachelor’s in Hospitality Management from Purdue-Calumet in ’97 (those schools are now merged into Purdue-Northwest, by the way). Michael’s early career was a whirlwind—running a 140-room hotel in Indianapolis, where he learned the ins and outs of the industry but realized it wasn’t his true calling. What did spark his passion? Teaching. He found himself thriving in front of students at Ivy Tech Community College and Lake Michigan College, sharing the art and science of hospitality management. Oh, and he also moonlighted at WIMS radio in Michigan City, juggling both on-air and behind-the-scenes roles with his signature high energy.
Politics? That’s been Michael’s sidekick since he was 18, registering to vote with a fire in his belly to make a difference. He threw his hat in the ring for La Porte County Council in 2010, where he got a crash course in the power of social media marketing. Undeterred by not winning, he campaigned for Indiana’s General Assembly in 2012 and took another shot at the County Council in 2014 and 2016. Though he hasn’t clinched a seat yet, Michael’s relentless drive to serve shines through. Lately, he’s been pouring that energy into helping other candidates who champion personal liberty, amplifying their voices with his knack for strategy.
Here’s a twist: Michael once co-owned a tattoo shop, despite having no ink himself. As the business manager and marketing guru, he leaned hard into low-cost, social media-driven campaigns to put the shop on the map. That experience fueled his love for digital marketing, and now he spends his free time crafting websites and boosting businesses online—a true labor of love.
These days, Michael’s living the dream as an independent contracted transporter, crisscrossing the country while getting paid to soak up new places and cultures. When he’s not exploring, he’s parked somewhere scenic, laptop open, building his digital consulting company, Spark Plug Strategies, or penning his thoughts. He even wrote a few books.
Based in La Porte County, Indiana, Michael’s embraced a “decentralized laptop lifestyle,” blending work, travel, and passion projects into a life that’s as dynamic as he is.
