Alright so every post about Azuki TCG is the same thing. - NFT PFP - Cryptobro "Keep pushing" affirmations - Hyperbolic projections about game's future - Red Gate emoji in post and display name, indicating commitment to the game's cult of followers Then I see this pictured interaction and it all makes sense. I got to try Azuki at GAMA, but I just chose to pull it from tomorrow's video (and reshoot the whole thing). Gameplay wise, it was fine - Tim, who showed it to me, was a very nice guy and I have no ill will towards him. The game played nearly identically to Bandai games - which I told him, and which puts it neatly in middle of the road for me for enjoyment. Not amazing, not bad. And that's what I said about it in my first version of the video. But I can't post that now that I see the goals laid bare. The end result of a TCG should be a fun game played between humans at a table - a social interaction, a strategic contest, and a fist bump at the end. The publisher works to make the game conducive to this on a reasonable scale, we pay them for access to more exciting components to enrich our hobby, and the game continues. Instead, I'm seeing that beautiful social experience being used to smuggle in an IP whose purpose is selling tokens on a blockchain. You can certainly enjoy all of the same elements listed above with Azuki, but in doing so and supporting the game, you're supporting a goal of getting their Web3 side exposure and widespread support. A pawn in a larger scheme. That beautiful experience can be had with any other game on the market that ISN'T trying to eventually normalize selling you a listing on a ledger that indicates you are the one true owner of a jpg. And now that I know better, I would recommend you seek ANY of those alternatives.

I’m obsessed with the NFT model. I like being close to everything and staying updated on every team’s progress. From my conversations with founders, there’s a clear split: Some newer teams are pushing hard on alignment and adapting to the new model. Most OG projects are doing the opposite. They’re ignoring it, shifting focus to Web2, and neglecting their NFT communities. 👉Ironically, most of their revenue still comes from the Web3 peeps. Some teams listened. They adjusted, adopted strategies, and moved to enforce royalties. Others didn’t. And I’m starting to think we’ll soon see top communities either push back hard or walk away entirely.

JUST IN: Elon Musk says SpaceX will build cities on the Moon, Mars and send spaceships to other star systems.

serious question to the last 17 people left in crypto: what can bring fun back and unite everyone together once again?

The market is currently betting that this whole "Hormuz problem" gets cleaned up in the next 30 days. And I’m looking at the data from my office in Abu Dhabi, and so far it’s heading that way. But if that two-mile-wide spigot stays choked for three months, you’re looking at a global catastrophe. History is a simple guide: keep oil above $93 for a quarter, and all 11 sectors of the US economy start to bleed out. Japan is already staring down the barrel with 70% of its imports at risk.

It's honestly impressive what some legacy NFT projects have shipped recently. Genuinely cool products. At the same time, the role of the original NFTs is very small, if existent at all. In the past, NFTs had catalysts in the form of airdrops and tokens. I still think those are the main ones, even today. Even if projects go on and build something bigger (or something outside of crypto). Integrating direct benefits for holders into new products either doesn't make sense for the projects or simply isn't wanted for whatever reason. Adapt

Azuki TCG has already raised $840,000+ from the AZK-01 presale in under a day. With 3 more exclusive promo cards still to be unlocked as milestones are hit. This is such a strong signal of real demand for new IPs entering the TCG space. Crazy.

A real review from a tcg guy about azuki tcg. There is literally no worst position to be in than being an nft holder rn. Realize this: - azuki trying their best to shed their web3 and turn into a real brand to all in TCG to break into the niche - tcg fan hates their web3 roots regardless of it Which means whether azuki embraces web3 or ditches web3, normies still hate them for it U cant make this up. As if nft holders facing the worst financial destruction isnt enough from being down on nfts and animecoin assets but this is literally just too cruel, ditched by the team, hated by normies, and cucked forever by “optics” A true sad day for web3
