if you’ve been wondering why i’ve been talking about @monxofficialx so much lately it’s because i genuinely think it’s one of the best looking nft projects i’ve seen launch on $XRP

the art is different
the team is cooking
and the community is growing fast

aping this.. 🐒

It’s around 58k. And they are an established studio. Obsidian has been around for a while.

The saving the XRPL/bringing NFT’s back is a bit much sure but its a narrative and not entirely false on to build on. Every project needs a narrative to market around. This is theirs.

Time will tell if its sucessful.

2 weeks, 😆

[monx @monxofficialx]

we poured everything into this.

the first boutique, hand-drawn 1/1 collection crafted with personality, originality, and care, finding home on XRPL where we believe it'll receive the most love.

the XRPL hasn't had anything like it. until now.

monx is coming.

[monx @monxofficialx]

monx wasn't built for easy markets.

it was built for this one.

coming soon to the ledger.

@NFTCookieC Amazing write up.

[Zee @zbits33]

“For a chain with no liquidity (at least none that people want to deploy) We seem to be taking a rather strange route to bringing people in”

EXACTLY.

Hence forth why I support @monxofficialx and will be minting myself.

We HAVE to send it higher, ESPECIALLY for those who want to build here

Great post Cookie.

We need more of this to be vocalized.

People tend to reject what’s uncomfortable.

Top of the morning! Hope you’re having a good one?

You don't need a thesis if you are bullish.

Just be bullish. By default.

[sloppy pig @piggedup]

Massive thank you to the @monxofficialx for the custom 🤝

Looking extremely dapper if you ask me 🎩🧐

Post regarding @monxofficialx

The space is up, recorded, and out there for YOU to make your own opinion.

Sharing my full thoughts since everyone has the ability to go listen for themselves and do their own research.

Gather information.
Analyze the evidence.
Play out scenarios.
Adjust your risk.
Make your decision.

One thing I've noticed about XRPL is that many of us say we want growth, onboarding, attention, builders, artists, founders, and new people entering the ecosystem.

But when something new shows up and doesn't fit the mold we're comfortable with, many immediately become resistant to it.

I understand why.

The ledger has scars.

People have been rugged.
People have been lied to.
People have watched projects disappear.
People have watched promises go unfulfilled.

That creates an immune system.

An immune system is healthy.

It's supposed to identify threats and protect the body.

The problem is that sometimes an immune system becomes overactive and starts attacking healthy cells too.

That's what I believe we need to be careful of.

Being cautious is healthy.

Becoming hostile to everything unfamiliar is not.

At some point every founder was unknown.

At some point every successful project looked risky.

At some point every major brand started with people saying:

"Who are these guys?"
"What are they doing?"
"Why should I trust them?"
"How do I know it'll work?"

That's not unique to XRPL.

That's human nature.

What concerns me is how much time we spend focused on other people's decisions instead of our own.

If you don't like a project, don't mint it.

If you don't trust a founder, don't buy it.

If you need more information, ask questions.

But after that, let people build.

Nobody owes you participation.

Nobody owes you approval.

Nobody owes you certainty.

We are all adults making our own decisions.

The part that many people seem to be missing is that innovation rarely arrives wrapped in familiarity.

Innovation is uncomfortable.

It challenges existing assumptions.

It pushes against existing standards.

And sometimes it breaks glass ceilings.

For example, Monx is minting at 77 XRP.

777 pieces.

Many people immediately focused on why it was higher than what they're used to seeing on XRPL.

I looked at it differently.

What happens if it works?

What happens if artists and builders realize they don't have to race to the bottom?

What happens if a boutique collection can command a premium because of brand, presentation, storytelling, and execution?

What happens if a new ceiling gets broken?

That doesn't hurt the ecosystem.

That expands it.

And to be clear, this isn't about saying Monx is the only project that matters.

It's not.

Every founder.
Every artist.
Every collection.
Every builder.

They all contribute to the ecosystem in their own way.

But if we want the ledger to grow, we have to stop treating every new idea like it's on trial.

The market will decide.

Collectors will decide.

Time will decide.

Not group chats.

Not mob mentality.

One thing that stood out to me was the sheer amount of attention this launch has generated.

The engagement numbers alone are multiple times larger than what many new mints

Whether you like the project or not, attention matters.

Attention is how new people discover ecosystems.

Attention is how new collectors arrive.

Attention is how brands are built.

Attention is how growth starts.

I've spoken to people from other chains.

One criticism I hear repeatedly is that XRPL often spends too much time fighting itself.

Meanwhile other ecosystems spend their energy building, collaborating, and expanding.

If we want attention, growth, and adoption, we have to become comfortable with the fact that not everything is going to look familiar.

Not everything is going to fit our expectations.

Not everything is going to ask for permission first.

That's okay.

Do your research.

Make your decision.

Accept the outcome.

And move forward.

no crying in the casino
