Daily #GTAfied CTO update - Day 8:
Winners are separated from losers in tough times.
It's easy to be brave when there is no war, but when the battle starts, many will give up and run away.
My grandfather once told me a quote that I will always remember: "It doesn't matter what happens, what matters is that you are prepared. I would rather be a knight in the garden than a gardener in war."
He impressed me a lot with those words and it was only when I grew up that I understood what he was saying.
In the current situation when the entire market is falling, various projects are failing and giving up. This is exactly the situation that will separate the winners from the losers. In these tough times, many cult communities and long-term meme coins will be born. One of them will be GTAfied.
GTAfied CTO started at the bottom, when the market was not in the green and when there was no excessive optimism in the market. I must honestly admit that I did not expect us to progress this well.
Not only as a community, for which I really have no words and thank you for being active all day and actively raiding, shilling and maintaining the project, but as the very idea of the project.
It is difficult to have a clear vision right away, it takes time to profile things, brainstorm ideas and discover the true potential of the project.
It was exactly the same with Bert, when I started CTO, he was just another one of the dog memes, the only thing that separated him from the others was that he looked like a bear. Later, over the course of a few days, many things were revealed that created a whole lore around him: he was an actor in a Netflix movie, on the cover of Forbes, getting support from the owner, etc...
A similar thing is currently happening with the GTAfied project. When I started CTO, the main potential of the project and the direction in which I would develop it was exclusively to create GTA art images from real images.
And now, just a few days after, we started the GTA comic, AI videos in GTA style for TikTok, I realized that the GTA VI trailer is coming out soon and that the game is coming out this year.
Let's be real, we're unlikely to have anything more popular this year than GTA VI. Not only is it the most expensive game ever made with a budget more than 10x that of GTA V, but it's also the most popular game ever.
GTAfied aims to appeal not only to the crypto community but also to the entire Instagram/TikTok feed. With Ghibli, we saw people posting pictures, and GTA art is much more popular and looks more serious.
What's most important to me is that a lot of holders have recognized the potential of this project and share a similar vision with me. All of this makes me more bullish than ever on the project.
Today, an airdrop was made in which 2M tokens were airdropped to $LUCIA holders. They share a similar idea with us and strive to be a fan community tied to the female protagonist of the game.
All in all, we're moving forward. We raid non-stop in Telegram every day. Each raid is personalized for the influencer we raid, with a GTAfied picture of them.
The market is down, everyone is in uncertainty, and we are growing. That is enough sign for me that we are on the right track. Most new projects with a small market cap would die in a few hours. We have been growing for days, and the best thing is, we are just getting started!

We continue working in a few hours max!

CTO GTAfied - Day 4 update:
Damn! What a day behind us... 🤯
I am even more convinced now that GTAfied will be a successful long-term project. 🙌
Today is a big day, it has been speculated for more than a year that the second trailer for GTA VI will be released on the 1st of April. 📆
Also, news is now pointing out that the trailer will 100% be released in the first 5 days of April.
GTA 6 will be the biggest game ever, GTA art has been popular since the first games, and Ghibli created a trend. I believe everyone will be GTAfied soon...
Not only the trailer, this is a long-term project with a vision, GTA will be released this year, so everything is aligning.
One holder asked me in DM, what was the hardest thing about starting Bert CTO and how could I know that the project with succeed.
Well, the truth is I didn't know it would succeed until I started, and now, when I started GTAfied CTO, I know that the hardest part is behind us. The hardest thing is to form a cult community - because without people working with me, the project can't succeed.
That is now done, and also, I know that GTAfied will be big as we created this community. Together! The same praise that people are writing to me as a lead of CTO, goes to every single one of you who raids the whole day and reads this.
So happy to have this community that shares the same vision and conviction as made. Reminds me of Bert beginning and gives me the excitement and strength to give even 110% of myself to this.
We grow day by day, we work every hour, and eventually, we are destined to succeed.
More than 750 TG members and 900 holders 💥
All I can say is DAAAMN!
Please, if you still haven't, join the GTAfied community: https://t.co/10UkgDsrmq
Tomorrow I will create a Whales chat on TG, which will be a group where only the biggest holders will be in. More heads are smarter, and together we can plan things and work on this as a team.
I stayed awake 3 more hours than I planned, so I will sleep just a few hours now, and back up to work. I can work with my bags more than 99% of people on Solana can hold their bags.
GN Fam, we are on the right path to hit millions.
We continue tomorrow 🤙
