So now you might be asking yourself after everything you've learned... what is the purpose of this project?

​

Above all else the core purpose is to provide an opportunity for us all to grow and move forward together. I've seen projects handled in so many ways in this space. Some have done a great job, while others have failed. Sadly, if you've been in this space for any decent amount of time you've been part of those not so good projects. Which our OpenSea hidden folders are a testament too.

​

More than anything I want to build something from the ground up with you. Something where we can all be active participants if we so desire. I want to give back and provide as much value as I possibly can to every holder. The sky is the limit. Nothing is off the table... I have a framework setup that will help to guide us moving forward. However, where we go and what we do will be a collaborative effort between us all. While always ensuring we remain on the cutting edge of this space. ​​

The Beginning

​

The initial mint of the Fiat Currency art and burning mechanism into the four types of Crypto Currency art are what will lay the foundation of this project. This puts into place a mechanism that we can build upon into the future that supports the universe we are creating. This is not your typical art project. The universe we are building will provide the themes, framework, and guardrails that we must stay within. By providing these three guiding pillars (themes, framework, and guardrails) holders are given the greatest opportunity to create and participate within our world. To start, holders will have a few different ways in which they can use their Fiat and Crypto Currency art. Holders will be able to claim free art based on the Crypto Currency art pieces they hold, soft stake, burn their Crypto Currency art for new pieces of art, burn for rarer pieces of their Crypto Currency and be used as whitelist passes into future art collaborations.

​

Our Universe

 

As you might have been able to pickup on within our website and looking at the Fiat Currency art piece. Our universe plays heavily on a dystopian society where the government has complete control over the people, though the people of this world may not realize it. Control is often best utilized when the person being controlled doesn’t even realize it. Which to me, mirrors many aspects within our society. High level the intent of this universe is to mirror our reality from being able to use your fiat currency to buy crypto currency and then using your crypto currency to buy art. As-well-as, addressing the government's control over us through multiple facets, however, none more powerful than money.

​

Out of a need to create a counterpoint to this evil and it's desire to control us, the Golden Circle was born. It is an ancient secret society that fights for the rights of the many, not the few in power. There have been many instances throughout history where the actions of the Golden Circle can be seen shifting the tide for the good of the people. Their lineage can be traced all the way back to the beginning of mankind. Just as a circle is never-ending, so to is the heritage of the Golden Circle.

​

The art produced within this project will play heavily on the themes of a dystopian society, the Golden Circle (secret society), propaganda style art and other themes that play into the universe we are creating. While the style of the art may differ, all themes created will relate in some way to our universe. Which will help to build out and provide texture to our world.

​

​

Our Art

 

As stated previously, this project is ours. I truly believe that. With this in mind, I have three ways in which art will be created:

1. I will personally be creating pieces of art for the community.

2. Collaborations with artists (more exciting news to come on this later).

   • We will be periodically taking feedback from holders on which artists they would like us to collaborate with. We are willing to work with any artist if it makes sense and is feasible.

3. Community Members (more details to follow)

   • We will create a framework (with community feedback) that will allow for the community to decide on which holder(s) they would like to produce art for an official release through our project.

     • There will be holder requirements on who can participate to make it fair.

     • The community artist will be compensated for their work.

 

​

Giving Back

 

This is a big one for me. I think giving back is one of the most important things we can do in this life. I absolutely want to give back to the community. However, the amount at which I can do that is going to be in direct relation to how well the projects does. Which I’m sure you understand. If we mint out enough Fiat Currency art pieces to burn for all the Crypto Currency art pieces, we will be able to do a lot more than if we only mint out 25%.

​

This is one area that I want to certainly get holder feedback, however, I also have some very strong opinions on this. Being in many projects. I have had the opportunity to participate in many events. However, the monetary and logistic restraints made most if not all of these events not feasible to attend. Having a family and a young daughter means I can’t always do what I’d really like to do. While your reasons may differ. I’m sure you’ve run into this as well. Because of this, I want to give back in very specific ways. Maybe there is a holder who lives in a remote area where there are no other holders. I don’t feel that holder should be excluded from the opportunity to be given back to. So maybe for that member we pay for a dinner out with them and a significant other, family member or friend. If there’s an area where there’s multiple holders, we could do dinner and drinks. The main point I’m trying to make on this is that I want everyone regardless of location to be able to participate and have an opportunity to be given back to as a thank you.

​

If we decide to produce merchandise. This is another area we can give back. With the option of hoodies, hats, shirts, and maybe even having our coins produced IRL. More to come on the coins though… I have some really big ideas on what we can do with those.

 

​

Our Future

 

What I love most about this project is that we are not bound to any one path. While we do have a framework. We as a community can decide to take this in an infinite number of ways. The possibilities are truly endless. A few areas of interest I have that we could look to expand into are:

​

• Future burn events

• Soft-staking

• Creating Golden Circle PFP’s

• Expanding into Ordinals for Bitcoin Currency art holders​

• Purchasing land with certain metaverses to create token gated Golden Circle locations.

• Expanding our digital coins as collaborations into other communities. Providing opportunities for both communities to expand their reach and opportunities for holders to gain more value.

• Creating tokens (on Ethereum and/or Bitcoin)

• IRL collectables and merchandise (more to come on this)

Wrapping it All Up

 

I know I have given a lot of information (if you've stuck with me this far I truly appreciate it), however, I think doing so is critical and not done enough in this space. Providing as much information as possible to allow people to make the most informed decision is paramount for me. I want to excite people about what we are building. So, they have a genuine desire to be active participants on this journey with us. More then anything, I just want to build something great with you all. That brings people value and by value it could be joy, excitement, growth, community, or anything else you are looking for in a project. I want us to encompass it all. While I can’t promise we’ll hit everyone of these marks perfectly. I can promise you, we are in this together and I will go to work everyday to make this project as successful as I possibly can. Of that you have my word.

​

I appreciate your time and willingness to even get this far into our project. I hope you’re willing to go a little farther and give us a chance. Because I can assure you, there is not another person in this space that will work harder for you then I will.
