Back home recovering and taking things
A nice surprise was waiting for us in the mailbox today: some IKZ cards.
My @AzukiTCG box is HEEEEERE. ❤️
My princess was so excited when she saw them, we went through the cards ( only few )
The funniest part was watching my daughter go through the cards and immediately claim one as hers. No hesitation. No analysis. No market research. No checking the rarity.
Just: I want this one.
And that’s the card she’s taking with her to school. 😂
Meanwhile grown adults are writing thesis-length posts about what an NFT project should or shouldn’t be building, and a child looked at hundreds of hours of work and simply decided:
“Pretty card. Mine.”
Honestly, she might be the smartest one in the room.
Ngl, the quality of the cards genuinely impressed me. The artwork is beautiful, the details are incredible, and it’s obvious a lot of care went into every single card.
What always fascinates me though is how expectations magically change depending on who’s building.
I’ve seen projects do a mint, disappear into the void, outsource a manga on Fiverr, deliver it a year later, and somehow get praised for “executing the roadmap.”
Nobody bats an eye.
Azuki is building a manga, expanding the IP, releasing physical products, experimenting with games, collectibles, and community experiences, and suddenly the conversation becomes:
“Why aren’t they talking about NFTs?”
As if the end goal of an NFT project is to spend the next 20 years sitting in a Discord call discussing floor prices.
The NFT was never supposed to be the destination.
It’s the ticket.
The key.
The access pass.
The thing that unlocks the destination.
Sometimes I understand the haters.
I mean, imagine spending months explaining that Azuki isn’t building anything.
Then they build.
Imagine spending months saying they’ll never deliver a manga.
Then they deliver one.
Imagine saying they’ll never expand the IP.
Then they expand the IP.
That must be exhausting.
At this point I almost feel bad for them.
Every time reality proves them wrong, they have to find a brand new reason to be upset.
“No manga.”
Manga arrives.
“Okay but where are the products?”
Products arrive.
“Okay but where are the games?”
Games arrive.
“Okay but why are they building all this instead of talking about NFTs?”
Which is honestly my favorite one.
Because apparently the dream is to spend the next decade sitting in Twitter Spaces discussing JPEGs instead of turning them into an actual brand.
Some people don’t want progress.
They want validation.
And when the facts refuse to cooperate, they move the goalposts and call it analysis.
So yes, the haters have every right to hate.
Especially when their entire research process consists of reading one post, skipping a year’s worth of work, projecting their frustration, and confidently publishing their expert opinion five minutes later.
Anyway, I’m going back to pretending I haven’t already inspected every card before the girls open the box tonight. 😂
Have a great Friday everyone. ❤️
