Seeing a few takes about the Azuki TCG and NFT holders not getting any "perks" for the presale tomorrow. I respect everyone's opinion on this and I get the thinking tbh, so I'll just share my personal perspective and leave it at that. Azuki wants to be a worldwide anime IP. The TCG is their first real wide-scale product pushing towards that goal. The very first and most rare sets that will ever exist, the alpha sets released last year, were allocated to holders based solely on each person's Collector Score. That's meaningful. It's the definition of rewarding your top collectors... But does that mean every single set and every single product going forward needs to prioritize NFT holders? In my opinion, no. That doesn't mean never do it, but it also doesn't mean every single thing needs to be a perk. We should WANT these products in the hands of real TCG players and people outside the core community. That's how the IP grows. That's the whole point. And the idea that NFT holders are being forgotten is one of the dumbest narratives I've seen lately. Holders are literally in the game itself as characters on the cards. Several are already in and a lot more are coming. I was lucky enough to have Ace selected for a future set. That's not being forgotten. That's your NFT becoming part of the canon story. I'm all for people speaking their minds and wanting certain things. That's fair. What I'm not for is people treating the team like shit and treating community members who are genuinely excited about the direction like blind bagholders. Maybe we're just actually excited? We bought these things as collectibles and have gotten SO much value out of them. And I'm not just talking about money. The best thing that can happen for holders long term is the IP succeeding at a global scale. Everything else is noise.

But what if...

L with the W

Founders who talked shit have gave up on their own projects or left the space. The dude who doxxed me is in jail. And I’m still here with the best team and community building dope shit. 🤷‍♂️

holy SHIT I am tired

23/24 Mavs were so special ❤️❤️❤️🤍💙 x.com/Visionaledge/status/17…

Every year since '22 they've called Azuki going to 0. They'll say it next year. And the next. When they finally stop is when we actually hit 0. But they never will 😂
