"The worlds first crypto-social project aimed at men" May 2022 THE MANCAVE PROJECT Hive community Presented To @raymondspeaks Presented by THE BROPAPER 03 05 08 09 10 About The Man Cave Our Fund The BRO Token BROFI The Future 11 12 13 14 Timeline Leadership Portal Dragon's Den Hive in a Box Table of contents 03 Whitepaper | The Man Cave Project In 2020 we pioneered the creation of sustainable dividend tokens on Hive. One where token owners could "actually" build out their portfolio by holding our tokens. This was the first of its kind and inspired a slew of other projects trying similar ideas. This has brought us to 2022 when now we have significant liquidity to take us forward to new levels and build out our social aspect as well as our financial side. About The Man Cave Project The Man Cave Project started as a community for men in 2018. We began as a way to encourage creativity, and building on the foundation layers of what it is to be a man. A man that creates and builds becomes what he was born to be. We feel that too many men have essentially "lost their way." To combat this, we have designed a method to create and get rewarded; monetarily and socially. As we grew as a community we expanded our reach of topics and influence Organization and Management @raymondspeaks CEO @hetty-rowan Newspaper Editor @papacrusher Cine TV CEO @stickupboys Project Management We have a team of multitalented individuals working hard towards our goals across the length and breadth of the BRO umbrella of projects.

It is an ever expanding fund that grows behind the scenes and dictates the price of BRO, our main token. When the fund value moves upwards, as does the price of BRO. When the fund value moves downwards, then BRO does also. The Brofund Think of our fund as a token builder. The meatier it gets, the wealthier and chunkier our prices become. Digital Assets held that back up our tokens and the work that we do Our Fund Whitepaper | The Man Cave Project 06 The Brofund sits at around $276,000 in Assets, which is roughly 4 Hive for each BRO. This is a really good price point considering we have increased by 600% in dollar value since we first started in 2019 There have been a few changes to the token ownership of the fund to make it fairer to the community. Previously I was taking 40% dividends for growth, and we were aware that 40% of the fund was mine. However, I have burned the outlier BRO and we are now at 69,000 BRO, ever. I have also reduced my share of the fund to 31%. That means if you own 1000 BRO then you will own exactly 1% of the fund. Token owners now receive 100% of the dividends. Hive Assets Splinterlands Assets Off-Chain Assets $178,000 $95,000 $3,000 Our fund assets in May as of Now Fund Assets Whitepaper | The Man Cave Project 07 This year we have had a difficult start to the fund. I also expect that mid-year we will see a trend downwards in dollar value due to Splinterlands finalising their sps drop. Everything right now is incredibly high but I expect a sharp decline in value once the airdrop is over which will negatively impact our fund. However, with this in mind I plan to buy more lands and some alpha cards. This is why for most of the year I will be primarily focusing on growing out our HP to counteract the drop in fund value, and also the fluctuations between other tokens in the pot. I have donated some external LP to Brofund and will be slowly growing that outwards to the end of the year. I'm hoping that by December that will turn us into a completely self sustaining operation with massive projected growth. increase in Hive Power Dividend Boost To Holders Fund Growth 400% 100% 20% Where we expect to be by the end of the year Fund Goals For 2022 Whitepaper | The Man Cave Project 08 The BRO Token is the Man Cave's economy. If you want to do anything in our community then it's always best that you own a token or two. Think of this as our backed gold. Our gold standard. Our pièce de résistance. Hive's BTC. BRO serves many functions. You can buy and hold BRO and receive daily dividends from our investments. You will receive these nightly at 00:00 UTC, and some are weekly and bi-weekly, like sps and dec for example. You can also buy and hold BRO as a stake in our forever appreciating asset fund. Soon, you will be able to buy back at our fund price. If our fund price shoots up through one of our assets mooning, buy orders will too. You can forever appreciate the ups and downs of our fund's worth. BRO is also a community builder token and project supporter. I like to think of our fund as a way to give some great communities that much needed boost of income from us buying in deep. Our most recent purchase being THGaming for example. BRO is an investment vehicle. We showcase and shout out the projects we buy into. If you succeed then we do too -- so it is in our best interests to shout you out and promote you. Our investment strategy also brings with it a deep well of "copy buyers" -- where brofund leads the charge other people tend to follow. Any future plans we have for building more utility then BRO holders will definitely get a share. The Lifeblood of The Man Cave BRO Token Whitepaper | The Man Cave Project BROFI began two years ago. In the beginning hive engine token holders were able to delegate to BROFI and receive a reward depending on the pool share. It was a very complex and articulate beast that was finely worked out by @taskmanager that worked perfectly, however things began to break and I was forced to find an alternative solution. This brought me to the updated version of BROFI which has actually solved a few key problems for us. It has now enabled me to buy back BRO at our fund price, build deep liquidity at the same time, as well as grow our Hive power. This time with BROFI I have control over the source code thanks to @themarkymark who provided the fix for me The initial idea for BRO was to start buying HP for our account and grow that as we wait for other things to materialise, however it has always proved costly for us to focus on one thing at a time. Usually when focus is elsewhere something else that works well for us begins to slip. Our heads needs to be thinking of the future at all times. However, BROFI solves all these problems. We are able to buy back BRO to keep the BROFI beast continually fed. As I buy back BRO I am able to offer my buybacks at fund price and stack our liquidity deep for anyone that would like to sell. Selling BRO has always proved hard to do since there is often no liquidity and it can take quite some time to get those orders filled if you are selling a lot. Now, it wont. If you would like a nice APR on your hive delegation then send it in to BROFI. We'll be happy to take it. There will also be deep liquidity so you'll always be able to sell your rewards for hive if you need to. To do this, just delegate your Hive to @brofi 17% APR HP Mega Builder BROFI Whitepaper | The Man Cave Project 09 10 The Man Cave Project has attracted a lot of support from the hive community over the past two years. Our own community stood strong and held through rocky waters in the early days, and well into later years. I would like to show them this commitment back by mapping out a roadmap for the foreseeable future. Thankfully due to some very smart investments I was able to build a rock solid team behind the lines working very hard for us. We now have a Senior developer working first hand with us. We have a management team, a marketing team, and an abuse team. This is slowly growing and it has been amazing to watch the positive strides we are making a well networked team. This means that once we have finished work on CineTV we will be taking our hands to building on The Man Cave. Work has already commenced with building on our Discord server recently and we have brought several things to the table. We are currently working on engagement rewards and role rewards. People that engage with us will be rewarded in tokens at the end of each week. We are looking at building out our discord server to be a central point of discovery for the Hive blockchain. We are also working on setting up the Dragons Den which will be coming in the near future. Offering Project Management and Marketing as a service will be in the future too however we are still quite a few months off this. We will also be looking into building a game with its own token and deep economy in the next year. BRO holder? Don't worry! Mapping Out The Next Year The Future Whitepaper | The Man Cave Project Dragons Den Jun Jul Oct Discord Hub Hive in a Box Proposed Timeline Whitepaper | The Man Cave Project 11 '23 Game Development '24 Deep economy May Leadership Portal We are a scattered bunch on Hive. The beauty of decentralisation is that we seem to spread our wings out in all different directions when creating something new. This can cause a web effect of various projects scattered through the ecosystem with no clear direction. This can be a good thing in a way because communities are able to focus on what they plan to give their audience rather than be bogged down by the tremendous red tape that follows trying to work through the rules of a centralised platform. I propose that we create a leadership hub of sorts where project leaders of various communities can come together to share resources with one another. The idea is to bring a somewhat "focused" approach in chaotic system whilst at the same time maintaining our autonomy. By this I mean we are free to share resources and ideas without infringing on the direction of others. On hive we will all put our hands up and agree that we absolutely despise centralisation. Most of us came here because we were either cast asunder by the platform we love, or the banks pulled the rugs from under our feet -- whilst at the same time these organisations are free to practise any malpractice they so wish, including suspending our accounts and disappearing our money. Centralisation is bad when looked at as a singular point of authority. With that in mind I would like for us to create some form of resource and idea sharing place to be for community leaders. The idea is not to get "inside info" but to improve our practices as a community for the betterment of our users. Bridging together Hive communities Leadership Portal Whitepaper | The Man Cave Project 12 It's no secret that hive-engine lacks the tools and support to get a project kickstarted on Hive. You pay the dues to create a tribe or a token and then off you go! Great if you know exactly what you are doing and have a team raring to go, not great if you are a one man band with just an idea. The entire process of building a great token; one that the community loves, and a tribe from the profits wasn't without its pitfalls and learning points. It's safe to say that I would like to simplify this process for other people that come with ideas and have the passion inside to materialise them. That's where the Dragon's Den will come into play. Everyone knows by now that we have Dragons in The Man Cave. These consist of a group of people that have parted with a large amount of their hive to own more than 1000 BRO and be a part of our growing project. Our Dragons consist of other project leaders, hive whales, and users with a lot of financial backing. We would like to utilise this resource to create a "pitching den" for inspired individuals to come and throw ideas at us for some of our money and advice/support for a part in their project. Please keep in mind we will be looking for uniqueness. None of us will be inspired with yet another curation project. Initially we would like to trial this concept and iron out the kinks. At the beginning Dragons can compete for ownership or work together depending on the ideas put forth to us. This will allow us to understand what works and what does not work, simplifying and streamlining the entire process. When we have the best procedures worked out we would like to use the Bro funds to provide capital for new and interesting projects. Dragons can vote on whether to onboard project ideas or not. However, Dragons can still choose to provide an outlier bid. Venture Capital for The Man Cave Dragon's Den Whitepaper | The Man Cave Project 13 My team and I have noticed that small communities around hive are working with very small budgets, tight schedules, and struggle with time spent online. The hardest part about creating a hive based project is there is never anyone around "permanently" to get stuff done. We all know how life can get in the way especially when you work away from the computer and crypto doesn't pay you enough. Hive becomes more of a hobby more than anything. We intend to change this mentality, or at least cut a sizeable dent in the way hive teams work together. We are currently trialling this system with CineTV as I write this. We are slowly building a trustworthy and reliable team that can be put to any task that we give them. This means that we can swoop in and help, mentor, or even outright dig out of the dirt failing projects (or newly started ones) in the future. Our Leadership and Marketing Team has a combined 60+ years of experience and bring to the table a diverse skillset of (but not limited to) project management, leadership, team building and dynamics, and conflict resolution. We plan to offer these skills along with our Social Media experts and branding support to the wider community. We have a highly experienced senior developer working with us and one that is no stranger to blockchain. Eventually we will be a one stop shop. The plan is for people to come to us for help, guidance, mentoring, or support. We will be integrating a token economy for this service in the future.
