After his graduation in 2023, Ghozali bid farewell to his daily selfie tradition, expressing gratitude for the unexpected success it brought him. However, he reemerged into the spotlight on March 22, amidst the growing interest in memecoins, with the announcement of the second iteration of his project.
This new venture combines memecoins with NFTs on the Base blockchain, representing a novel approach to digital assets. The presale for “Ghozali Everyday” surpassed its initial target of 400 ETH, reaching an impressive 527 ETH, equivalent to $1.8 million.

Despite the overwhelming response, Ghozali emphasized fairness and transparency by announcing refunds for those who sent more than 2 ETH after the cap was reached. This ethical conduct reflects Ghozali’s commitment to responsible fundraising practices in the crypto space.
The resurgence of interest in memecoins, particularly within the Solana network, has been notable amid a bullish trend in Bitcoin. Solana-based presale projects attracted substantial capital inflows, indicating a period of heightened activity in the crypto market.
While memecoins offer the potential for quick returns, industry experts caution investors about the speculative nature of these tokens. Franklin Templeton, an asset manager, highlighted the lack of inherent value or utility in memecoins, urging investors to exercise caution.
As Sultan Gustaf Al Ghozali embarks on this new chapter of his entrepreneurial journey, his story serves as a testament to the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency markets. With innovation and responsible practices, Ghozali continues to make waves in the crypto world, inspiring others to navigate the digital asset space with diligence and foresight.
