What is @onecardano ? Why has the price gone up and listings gone down?
ONE Cardano initially funded @OneBlades_ skating company led by me.
ONE Cardano was formed from two projects (Space Pugs / Smooth Yetis) I took over from the original founders.
I raised funds through ONE Cardano to build ONE Blades.
ONE blades launches on Feb 11, with 2 products:
ONE Blades EDGE (Worlds best inline figure skating frame).
ONE Motion (OG Hoodie)
ONE is essentially
🌀 ONE Cardano (NFT/Poker project)
🌀 ONE Blades (Skating Products)
🌀 ONE Motion (Clothing Brand)
ONE is, powered by a Creator/Affiliate program designed to provide opportunities for skaters, coaches and parents.
Together they form something never been done before.

Yes, NFTs are dead, even more so in Cardano💀
But something is brewing inside @onecardano. The past few days saw some volume activity as the project is getting closer to its @OneBlades_ sale.
Not Crypto, not AI, but a real product with real demand.
That's the alpha📈
