[Zagabond @Zagabond]

We designed a custom holographic foil for @AzukiTCG

The embossed pattern on the casting film is designed from scratch. We're calling it beanfoil. 🫘

This means that every card with this foil catches light differently. And some cards might have a rare part of the foil pattern, completely up to chance.

You won't find new TCGs making custom foil patterns like this. Dope sh*t only.

I hear you and I want to respond thoughtfully because I respect your passion and all that we've been through together

First, I want to clarify something important. I never said we were absolutely done with fashion or web3 or that Azuki wouldn’t do things like being part of Paris FW. What I said, and what I still believe, is that Azuki has to operate first and foremost as a real IP business, and the TCG is the core product that has to work financially. If we don’t nail that, we don’t have a sustainable business, and without a sustainable business, Azuki as we know it won't exist. We're being intentional about building for the long term. I talked about this in my last discord message and garden gathering, and in the last spaces with you as well.

I really do understand why this direction may feel like a shift away from the version of Azuki you originally fell in love with. In the early days, Azuki leaned more heavily into community participation and co-creation. And like I've mentioned, if trading volumes and royalties on NFTs remained the same as it did 4 yrs ago, I'd be fucking ecstatic to go back to that exact playbook. But let's be real... times have changed. At this stage of building a breakout IP, co-creation at the core simply does not work from a commercial standpoint. That doesn’t mean I don’t admire or support the community artists and builders. I stand by the team's track record of supporting the community. we've sacrificed a lot and poured our heart and soul into the community. But the only way we can support that ecosystem long term is if the core Azuki IP is strong, focused, and profitable. That requires saying no to a lot of things we used to do.

"But you can surely do all the above, why do you have to choose a focus?!"... I'm not saying you've said this but I've heard this plenty of times from others. My answer is, If it's that easy you go do it then! And to their credit, some ppl actually have, and they've all failed. I usually get a dm afterwards like "man you were right, this shit is so hard..." And when I look at their strategy, it's always been unfocused. There are so many distractions in this space and it's easy to fall into the trap of trying to do everything.

Sorry, tangent... back to your note

I know you’ve said before that you don’t think the TCG is cool. That's fine I know it's not for everyone, but I strongly disagree. I think it’s really fucking cool... but I'm just a nerd who's AIM handle back in the day was literally "magiccards515" (real) so what do I know. It's all subjective but I think we’ve been doing cool shit this whole time. it just might not be your flavor and that’s okay. But minimizing the work because it doesn’t personally resonate misses the fact that a lot of people do resonate with it (see the response from the TCG invitational), and most importantly it’s building something durable that proliferates the IP that all the holders own a piece of with our PFPs.

You can choose not to celebrate a moment like what we just had in Paris. But I'm fucking celebrating lmao. AZUKI WAS ON THE RUNWAY IN PARIS!!! We turned steamboy's art, our PFPs, into a medium during fashion's biggest cultural moment. Idc what anyone thinks. No one can take that away from us.

Anyways, it's all love brother. You don’t have to change your mind. Just wanted you and everyone else reading this to know that what we're after now is giving Azuki the best chance to be a massive IP that we all know it has the potential of becoming. And with the focus we have right now, I know we'll succeed. AZUKI ON TOP

For the attention of all washed KOLs, trencher, and Fortnite pro players:

You might have realized by now that vibe-coded products are becoming the next big thing.

Hereby, IdeaRalph has a proposal:

What if every vibe-coded product had a coin:
to pay the Claude, servers, marketing, and more?

This would accelerate innovation, spawn more vibe coders, let great vibepreneurs access funding to build more, and make web3 the true home of all startups and innovation.

Until now, you all have supported coins with no inherent value. You have stayed sleepless for days and months over coins with a dog, a cat, or a frog picture.

You have acted cool because you supported all the useless stuff, and thought you were 200 IQ.

Now, let's do the same with vibecoins.

IdeaRalph is to set the stage for the spark of the vibecoin meta; it will be the MCP that spawns tens of thousands of ideas that will become vibecoins.

IdeaRalph will be the Godfather of the vibecoins, able to create the movement with the vibe coders that use it.

You give it the dumbest idea = and it can even turn that into genius. That's the Ralph Wiggum loop.

IdeaRalph will have its own token.

With no raise. All airdropped.

It will have a mechanism that allows people who send their vibecoins created by IdeaRalph MCP to send a portion of their tokens to it, and holders of IdeaRalph will receive those tokens distributed to them equally according to how much they hodl.

IdeaRalph will launch from vibe/vibe as the Godfather of the vibecoins.

What's vibe/vibe? Do some research.

Destination will be: BASE.

Drop your 0x wallets.

A REAL RALPH WIGGUM LOOP BEGINS HERE.

FOR THE VIBECOINS. FOR PUSHING PRODUCTS.

FOR TRANSFORMING THE DEGENS SPIRIT TO MACHINES OF PRODUCTION.
