Solana is so exciting rn! There are a lot of interesting projects and good voices coming from the community. I really like this feeling.

There are some concerns, tho. There are too many scams going on. It’s too easy for scammers to clean wallets. Yeah, you can make burners easily, but this is not good for newcomers. But I have high hopes and Solana is still soooo young!

Just for posterity, 1 Sol rn is $ 168. I wonder how much it’s going to be when we launch this project hahah

So, today I will talk a little about myself. I am a lawyer in Brazil for 15 years now. The first years were exciting, but I don’t feel like doing it anymore, it’s really eating all my energy.

I don’t think we need to fully dox ourselves. Also, Like I said I am from Brazil, it wouldn’t be wise to reveal my id, location, family etc, believe me. Nonetheless, I want you to know me better.

Crypto came in my life in 2015. I was not daily trading at that time, but I was following everything. On 2017’s bull run I made enough money to consider quitting my job, but I was sorta of inexperienced with bear markets, and 90% of that was gone. Then came crypto winter and I was fully immersed on Law studies to increase my knowledge and academic degree. Don’t get me wrong, I love studying Law and everything related to theory, but I really don’t like the daily routine of a lawyer.

We are now at the end of 2020, pandemics is fu**ing everyone. I was working from home and I had a lot of spare time, so crypto came to me again. I made a good money on ETH and BSC, but I was afraid of a new bear market. This caused me to miss the first boom of shitcoins, like safemoon. But then I got on track and since the end of march I am deep on crypto. I believe in crypto and I think it can be a life changer. It is keeping my parents comfortable after losing their jobs due to pandemics and being old. I am really, really grateful for that. I reduced my workload as a lawyer to focus half my time on crypto and I am dreaming every day about going full time on Voodies. I know it’s gonna happen!

I love a lot of nerd things, including: Videogames, it’s part of my being. My first console was an Atari. It was 1988. Then a Nintendo, SNES, PS1 and PC, from that moment I wouldn’t never again touch a console. PC Master race to the end!

I love sci-fi and fantasy books. I used to write a lot of stuff but it never came to life. It helped me to shape my creativity tho. Warhammer 40k is the best fictional universe by far, there’s no competition, I am not discussing that (lies, I would love to discuss that!). I am the DIY guy. I don’t like relying on people to fix things for me. Youtube is one of the best creations of humanity, you can literally learn everything and do yourself. I am considered a skillful woodworker and I love mixing traditional techniques with tech gadgets. Almost every furniture in my house I’ve designed and made myself. I like playing with Fusion 360 and I will probably buy a big ass CNC machine one day and retire.

At this point it’s clear that I am a nerd. Yeah, I am into a lot of geek stuff. My dad had this huge pile of Marvel comics, we used to read and discuss it. Good times. I am more into graphic novels these days, I don’t like infinite stories. Also, there are so many good GN from around the world, it’s amazing. Of course, I watch a lot of movies. I absolutely love two things: long takes (Children of Men!) and practical effects (Mad Max!). I love movies from Guillermo del Toro and his plethora of machines.

Every path of my life is influencing this project. E.g., liking practical effects led me to invest time and money believing an NFT collection of real, tangible art can be a blast. Of course there will be digital touches, but it sets apart the visuals from so many things dropping daily on SOL and ETH.

So, that’s it. A bit about myself. There will be more to come. A bit here, a bit there.

Hope to know you guys better on 💜#・introductions
