Midterm Pitching for Technopreneurship: A Bashers' Perspective on "Segregate: IoT Reverse Trash Bin Segregation System"

W11: Midterm Pitching Experience

Hello Everyone!

First things first, I am one of the bashers of this venture. Now, when I say "bashers," I don't mean we're here to criticize products or make fun of them. We call ourselves 'bashers' because we're ready to take a bash at believing that our "Segregate: IoT Reverse Trash Bin Segregation System" will truly make a difference.

Our Target Audience

Guess who? We aim to target the general public, which includes schools, barangays, commercial and industrial sectors, LGUs, and the MRF Cooperative.

Our Edge

What sets us apart? We offer cost-efficient, all-in-one incentivizing smart trash bin alternatives to existing MRF segregation trash pits. Our system rewards users for segregating waste, encouraging more people to participate in proper waste management.

Insights from Interviews

Of course, we are not alone in our interest in the idea of receiving a reward for segregating waste. Over the past weeks, we've interviewed 30 random people and two well-recognized experts or companies. We were given the opportunity to interview:

Engr. Armen A. Cuenca, MPA, EnP

CGDH-II, CLENRO

Concepcion Yagonia

Store In-charge, Material Recovery Facility Segregator, Organic, and Vermiculture Farming Producer Cooperative

Here's what we recently found out:

Material Recovery Facility (MRF) is run by a cooperative of garbage collectors and is supported only by LGU.

Did you know that the garbage collector's minimum profit from day and night segregation is 1 peso?

We also found out that the coop imposes a "No Segregation, No Collection" policy, but other establishments don't adhere to this policy, causing issues for the coop's segregators.

The Human Side of the Story

We had the chance to interview someone deeply affected by this situation, which motivated us to benchmark this venture:

Julieta C. Pacudan A garbage segregator, aged 58, works day and night and earns a minimum of P60 per day, depending on the amount of garbage she can segregate.

“Gahapon gale, alas 10 nami nahuman ug segregate, 100 pesos ra among bahina…. Masamad pami kanang mga bildo na di masegregate”

These words highlight the struggles faced by segregators, including the risk of injury from unsegregated glass.

Our Vision

Instead of solely targeting individuals or households interested in environmental sustainability and waste management practices, we aim to refocus our project on integrating technology into existing MRFs and benchmarking the system to the LGU Cleanro and the waste management Cooperative.

Our Largest Challenge

Our largest challenge is to ensure cost-effectiveness and convenience. We aim to utilize affordable and environmentally friendly materials for building the smart trash bin, making it more accessible and practical compared to traditional garbage pits.

Plans Moving Forward

Further exploration of key stakeholders in the field

Identification of the final target market, partners, and collaborators

Development of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Establishment of a revenue model

Identification of potential competitors

Finalization of our venture

Got Brainrot rn so have some picrews of the TWEWY OCs I’ve had in the bg for a while now. Other Than Yuka. Yuka’s been public for a while.

Yuka Hele

A wall reaper content with their job and known as the local creepazoid and blade enthusiast. Gives off serial killer vibes but is pretty chill when you get to know her.

Asuji Nowzari

A blind kid who can hear the UG, but isn’t aware of it. As far as she knows it’s always been a part of the world and it isn’t something to be questioned. Eventually gets the chance at the Reaper’s Game after being in an accident regarding construction equipment.

Belle 

A newer anger set to take the place of a recently exorcised executor. Hates this fact but doesn’t know how to fight against what’s planned for her, so just goes along with it. Sweet and quiet, mercy is usually her default when she can control it.

???

A serial killer who lures people in by selling wares online- namely collectors’ blades- and kills them during the sale. Seems like a cheery older man in his mid-50s until it’s too late and has yet to be found out.

HAPPY (LATE) 4/20 FRET!!! 

[calder]

wait whats going on? fallout has gods in it now? ghoul radiation gods? whats that about, give me the low down or something

yea its east coast shit, you wont really find this all laid out anywhere on the internet afaik but here's everything i've pieced together, off the top of my head

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Ug-Qualtoth

fo3 and 4 establish a cult based on some surface-level lovecraft pulls and tie it to prewar rich people operating in the backrooms of an industrial corporation. feral ghouls are seen worshipping a spire that drives people insane and implicitly attracts ghosts. in point lookout, the rednecks are shown to have creepy root altars in their homes and evidence can be found of ritual sacrifice. a necronomicon stand-in can be acquired and sold to a collector or destroyed.

while no explicit connection is ever drawn between atom and ug-qualtoth, both seem to be cults that worship feral ghouls & hear voices. in 4 the player encounters a group of ferals who were rich prewar cultists. a prewar altar can be found in the room, a sacrificial blade framed by two mini-nukes above a half-buried art deco face, which was either placed deep in the quarry or being excavated from it.

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Mother_of_the_Fog

a ghostly entity resembling the spire is seen in far harbor. i didn't realize this until rn, but she is implied to be an atom cultist who died or ascended or something.

76 establishes that the mothman cult were warned just before the bombs fell, were also corporate ultra-rich people, and have similar altars to the point lookout cult.

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/The_Interloper

two malformed creatures made of roots can be found in tunnels under appalachia. the first is a pathetic catatonic pair of legs and seizing viscera under a mothman cult settlement, which has been emitting psychic messages to the cult. the second is a dead fetal root body in a chamber above the ghoul communists' radiation spire in The Deep. more lovecraft nods around this plot

the art deco face from 4 also appears in the interloper's chamber, the creepy swamp (mothman?) settlement Tanagra Town, and the futuristic city of Watoga. this motif is probably meant to eventually tie the cult back to the enclave because they used creepy art deco faces in fo2.

as a final possible connection, the interloper visually resembles tree-harold, who psychically attracts worshippers in fallout online and fo3

yall should listen to my podcast ('lore never changes' on podcatchers), im gonna be talkin about this a lot more going forward and there are at least 4 mods that elaborate on the concept in interesting ways, like tying it to the psychic mirelurks to bring the lovecraft stuff full-circle

Thinking about the Bayonetta MGR crossover and it’s basically console wars and Mac vs PC with actual human bodies.

It’s the year 2085 and LumenOS by Lighthouse Biotechnology is the most popular engine for coding brain-machine interfaces. It’s biggest competitor, UmbraOS by Left Hand Cybernetics, became free and open source after the Lighthouse and Left Hand CEOs married each other, causing a stock market panic and both of them getting voted off their board of directors for conflict of interest and insider trading reasons. This loss of good leadership eventually led to both companies going bankrupt. To stay open, Lighthouse was purchased by Ithavoll Group. Meanwhile, Left Hand chose to go out of business and posted its source code on the internet as a final goodbye. 

Both engines are coded on the intricate but infuriating fuzzy-logic focused programming language Enochian and are very similar in function if not in construction. Most of their differences come from distribution policies.

LumenOS is suited for bringing injured and incapacitated people to working condition as quickly as possible. To avoid trauma, most commercially available Lumen software is built with emotion inhibition and memory suppression. It can be argued that Lumen uses the human brain as hardware to run its own processes instead of preserving the original person, but it can also be argued that people don’t want to remember getting hit by a truck, or being trapped in a burning house, or years of failed cancer treatments.

Regardless of moral implications, because full body cyborgs running on Lumen can walk and talk within days or surgery, while other BMI engines take years of physical therapy to regain normal function, many medical providers and individuals choose Lumen. 

Lumen is mostly used by Ithavoll and its subsidiaries, since licensing fees for outsiders has been raised to 80 million dollars a year. This insane entry price ensures Lumen-running products are consistently high quality, but are also becoming increasingly inaccessible. 

UmbraOS was originally suited for accurately simulating and enhancing all human senses, but after 30 years of being open source, it’s now used for whatever fuck shit you can get away with. Countless Umbra scripts can be found for free, but there’s no guarantee any of them will be useable. For every treasure like the flight skills and reaction time of a dragonfly or the ability to toggle the taste of hot nachos on and off, there are a thousand scripts that give you diabetes and force you to email your credit card information to make it stop. Lord help you if your UmbraOS implant is connected to WiFi. 

Because the engine is open source, many BMI programmers get their start on Umbra, which has indirect benefits for other Enochian-based engines. Even for skilled programmers, it’s considered best practice to carefully curate your own custom pile of scripts other people made to run your body with, because no single person can do it all alone. It’s also considered dishonorable to charge money for Umbra scripts if you aren’t custom-making it for a single person.

Although Umbra is sketchy and often dangerous, many people unable to afford more legit procedures rely on secondhand implants running Umbra to survive.

Following a period of extended global peace and stability, many cyborg paramilitary organisations, and the various other companies supporting that industry, have gone out of business. 

Cardinal Ventures LLC, once famous for actually affording a legal Lumen license and building bespoke bodies for its enforcers, was barely able to limp along using clout gained from eradicating other mercenaries during the United States Civil War II, but tensions in upper management reached a breaking point when one cofounder, Lucifer, fought the other cofounder, Jubileus, sent her into a coma, and went into hiding. 

Now the de facto leader, Fortitudo tried to keep Cardinal together. He isn’t exactly stupid, but his expertise lies more with melting enemy cyborgs into slag and less in running a business. To avoid falling into inescapable debt, and also tempted by promises to revive Jubileus, and also because vintage cyborgs are vulnerable to parts trafficking gangs, Fortitudo sold Cardinal to Ithavoll Group.

 Initially, the deal was very good since it was made in Vigrid, whose European laws of cyborg personhood were a lot more generous than American laws, which were written in response to repeated ninja and metal gear crises, and also that one time a US senator’s medical nanomachines went haywire and tragically caused him to go insane. 

The deal worsened when it was revealed that the deal was technically made in Isla del Sol, an autonomous region in Vigrid that’s basically a corporate dictatorship. The laws changed and now all Lumen-running cyborgs involved with the deal are legally not human and belong to Ithavoll. With constant Lumen software updates, Fortitudo is literally incapable of feeling too bad about it, but his panic and betrayal come out in more indirect ways. To be fair to Ithavoll, Fortitudo is now in charge of the largest private cyborg army in the world, composed of other companies Ithavoll purchased and dissolved, including Laguna Homefront Solutions, Paradiso Augmetics, and the aforementioned Lighthouse Biotechnology.

At the center of Isla del Sol, the Ithavoll Building is at constant risk of terrorist attack. An individual of unclear origins was converted into a cyborg based off one of Cardinal’s prototypes and tasked to patrol the upper levels. Temperantia’s primary purpose is to do post-disaster search and rescue, aid building evacuation by making his own exits, but can also fight off attackers if needed. Since he has to be in the upper levels anyway, Temperantia argued that might as well get a regular job there. Ithavoll’s CEO Balder gave him an office job as a joke, but Temperantia did well and eventually worked his way up to Ithavoll Building Assistant HR Manager. 

Built after the acquisition, Temperantia has no memories of Cardinal while it was independent, and doesn’t really get the rest of Cardinal’s devotion to Jubileus, but goes along with it to make his coworkers happy. Fortitudo initially saw him as a bastardisation of the Temperantia he once worked with, who ruins Cardinal’s military legacy by being a clueless civilian. They become work friends after Temperantia rips a gatling gun off a UG helicopter and shoots the entire convoy down with it from the Ithavoll Building roof.

Despite his horrifying strength and enormous uncanny mechanical body, Temperantia would prefer to be known as the guy who loves enamel pins and stringently enforces office dress code.

What could drive trained and made killers to sell their rights to a corporation for protection? Inferno is a black market criminal organisation that hunts cyborgs for parts. Catering both to filthy rich collectors and those too poor to afford legit implants, Inferno traps people in insidious contracts by converting the desperately injured into cyborgs whether they truly want it or not, then foisting debts so huge upon them that it can only be paid by acting as spies and informants to find rare and expensive cyborgs. If the debt grows too large or goes unpaid for too long, Inferno recoups their costs.

Typically, once a contractor finds a rare cyborg, they call a local Inferno agent to do the dirty work. Even worse, the contractor has to pay for all the expenses Inferno sustained to kill their target, meaning if the target escapes before the agent gets there, raises law enforcement attention, or is extremely dangerous, the debt may end up even greater.

Experienced contractors eventually learn to corner and incapacitate their targets themselves before calling Inferno. Some of them are so skilled at balancing on the knife’s edge of debt and respect that they leverage their contract into having their own private cyborg hit squad for life. 

After many cyborg PMCs went bankrupt, Inferno gorged on newly weakened victims and flooded the black market with cyborg parts. However, to sustain the same profits now that the easy prey is gone, Inferno contractors now have to go after even rarer and more protected cyborgs to avoid debt murder.

Bayonetta was dredged from the bottom of a lake and restored by Inferno, incurring huge debts. Combined with Inferno debts she apparently sustained before she drowned and lost her memory, Bayonetta is forced to infiltrate Vigrid to go after the most expensive targets, Cardinals, or else Inferno will tear her apart.

A Compur from the early stages of this cult-brand, beloved by collectors for their chronographs. Most sought-after in steel as they look sporty and quite contemporary for an almost 100 year old model. The 5150 is the epitome of this, with a 36mm measuring case and flat bezel. 🗝 #ansterdamvintagewatches #universalgeneve #ug #compur #5150 (bij Amsterdam Vintage Watches) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9oS-ySHHMw/?igshid=1hnhgzxdi0xyz

FRATELLO: Universal Geneve Film Compax Reference 22522 - A Chronograph Purely Designed for Cinematographic Purposes

But before we do so, a brief background for those who aren’t that familiar with Universal Geneve. Universal Geneve (UG) was founded in 1894 and soon rose to become a pioneer in the manufacturing of chronograph movements as the popularity and subsequent development of wristwatches spread in the 1920s and 30s. Having their own movement manufacturing facility named Martel, UG was able to provide chronograph calibers for many major Swiss houses, such as Jaeger-LeCoultre, Zenith and Girard-Perregaux to name a few. The brand is most recognized for its aesthetic diversity, with an incredible array of case and dial designs, which was achieved by using two base calibers: 281 and 285, on which UG could simply increase the main plate size to house movements in different sized cases, allowing for an extremely versatile design and production line. Furthermore, cherished models such as the Aero-Compax, the Tri-Compax and the Dato-Compax are all complications added to their base chronographs with dial configurations unique to Universal Geneve. UG is out of production today and the brand is being held dormant by the Stelux holding company in Hong Kong. This aspect is something that really resonates with collectors today and gives this brand a unique characteristic: being held alive purely by the collective passion around their watches...

Updated Feedback on Crimson Vow

Mechanics and Such

The mechanics felt a bit less interesting than Midnight’s. This twist on Disturb was cool though, and D/N was still a good change.

Addition as of 4/27/23: Actually, I’m not to sure it should’ve kept D/N. I did read the article where why it returned was mentioned, but it still feels out of place given the (mostly ignored/underdeveloped) premise of the Eternal Night.

Blood is OK, but is too mechanically similar to Clues IMO. The discard cost doesn’t really feel like enough to differentiate them. Also, I like Clues more personally, and Blood seems applicable to less sets and worlds. Also, while they are nice for the Madness Vamps of SoI Block, they don’t seem to synergize or overlap well with the ‘Bloodthirst’ Vamps of MID.

Addition as of 4/27/2023: Actually I’ve started to like Blood a bit more. The iffy synergy with Bloodthirst Vamps still stands though, as do the concerns of widespread applicability and having them alongside un-supported Clues.

Newer addition as of 12/6/2023: I take back the applicability concern and sort of the Clue concern. I don’t really favor Clues more now, but I think they should have been properly supported in MID if they were going to reappear there.

Still 4/27/2023: Additionally, a lot of the Vamp’s that cared about sacrificing Blood for other purposes seemed too weak. In particular, maybe Wedding Security could’ve triggered on the EtB too. The only Blood Vamps I ever saw in Standard formats were Epicure and Bloodtithe Harvester.

Cleave is a fine mechanic, but for Innistrad something like Clues or a graveyard/death mechanic would have probably been better.  I think not reusing Flashback was a good idea, but Cleave did not seem like the right replacement.

The Cleave cards were fine to be clear, but the mechanic did not feel flavorful or fit with the setting. Using Cleave for the flavor of rule-breaking honestly does seem good, so maybe it would’ve felt better in New Capenna after all, as a non-family mechanic like Hideaway. 

Training is fine, but seemed generally worse/less interesting then Mentor for me. I think it may have been because Mentor could help other creatures, whereas Training only really helps the creature with Training. Could just be nostalgia though.

Exploit was also nice, but tbh I really liked Decayed and would have loved to see more of it.

As for the Draft, it was absolutely way too prince-y.  I still enjoyed some of the archetypes, like BG Toughness and UG Mill, but it was still an issue.

Story, Setting, and Stuff

VOW didn’t follow up on MID’s ideas, but I already went over that in my feedback on MID. What story it did have was pretty bad and focused on the least interesting thing it could have, given the whole “Eternal Night” thing.

Potential aside, the wedding was uninteresting. It is NOT that the idea of having a Vamp Wedding was terrible, just having it as the focus over everything else was.

I also worry that focusing on one tribe at a time may have left the others a bit flat.

Double Feature was lame. The B&W filter over the cards did a disservice to the art underneath and made the colors were hard to read. Felt like an cash grab targeting collectors and Innistrad nostalgia.

Addition as of 4/27/2023: Misc.

Why did Midnight Scavenger get Ward but not Cemetary Desecrator?

While I still have many criticisms of the set, some of its cards did end up being useful in my janky BR Party Aggro deck, my janky WBR Modal-Superfriends deck, and my janky UB Control deck, so thanks for that.

The 2-Attacker theme in WR is interesting, though I barely noticed it for a while. I am surprised the Samurai of NEO were not made to work alongside those cards (i.e. to also be up to 2 Attackers, or to be only one Samurai/Warrior at a time)

The Value of an NFT Trading Card

If you're an avid gamer, you might be curious about the value of an nft trading card. In the video game, you can create your own football team, challenge friends, and compete in world rankings. By purchasing trading cards, you can earn rewards for playing the game and collecting these rare collectibles. The game is a popular buy for football fans. Here are some benefits to trading cards:

Rarity and consumer interest are two of the biggest factors in the value of an NFT trading card. Rare precious metals and NFTs are valuable because they are rare and difficult to find. Similarly, rare NFTs have high values because they represent powerful or weaker game characters. They are usually backed by official sports leagues. As a result, their value has increased exponentially. However, the price of an NFT trading card is only as high as its rarity.

NFT trading cards are available on many websites, including OpenSea, which offers digital versions of the physical cards. The value of an NFT trading card increases based on its uniqueness, which is what makes them so desirable to collectors. In order to be successful in this market, investors need to educate themselves about this emerging market. There are several ways to make money with NFT trading cards. The first step is to buy and sell NFT trading cards.

Another way to make money with an NFT trading card game is to use a virtual currency, or crypto-currency. For instance, players can buy or sell virtual items in a cryptocurrency called Sorare. These collectible items can be sold on secondary NFT marketplaces. Some cards can fetch a decent price when traded. Other popular card games include Dark Country Game and Sorare. The latter features gothic themes and features zombies and ghosts.

As with other trading cards, collectors can purchase a nft trading card in a variety of ways. Some cards are sold as single cards, while others are bundled together. A good NFT trading card pack will increase in value over time. Some are worth investing in, while others are just a waste of money. For those with an eye for rare trading cards, collecting these can help you collect a wide range of NFTs.

Another advantage of NFTs is the ease of use. You don't need to know anything about cryptocurrency to start making money with them. The game is easy to learn and can yield high returns. Alex Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and Cloud9, has long been a proponent of NFTs. He believes that this concept is unique and innovative. You can trade a virtual NFT trading card with real-world money, and it's possible to make thousands of dollars in a matter of months.

As with other types of collectibles, the value of NFT trading cards depends on their rarity and condition. NFT trading cards are often digital representations of real-life physical cards. They can be replaced by their NFT counterparts if they get damaged. The physical card's value depends on how mint it is, but if it's not in perfect condition, it won't fetch much money. These digital replicas are easy to collect and trade, and many NFT trading cards are available in digital galleries.

The emergence of a legitimate NFT trading card marketplace has reduced the risk of buying fake NFTs. The presence of seller verification marks on reputable trading platforms also protects from scammers. Phishing and catfishing are two common scams involving NFTs, and it's imperative to protect yourself. Don't click on an embedded link in an email, and never give your key to a stranger. And finally, there are rug-pulling scams — scammers who promise you huge future gains, only to disappear with your money.

Rare Pepe NFT trading cards are the OG of the digital card market. These cards are based on the Pepe the Frog meme and were launched on the Counterparty blockchain in September 2016. Among their many other benefits, NBA Top Shot commemorates the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. Recently, one rare Pepe Nakamoto card sold for $500,000.

Streamstars UG, a Berlin-based developer, has created an online NFT trading card marketplace called Age of Chains. The company has begun to develop a haptic prototype for Age of Chains, so that it can be tested with a core community. However, the age of the NFT trading card market is still relatively young, and there are few active markets for the cards. Until then, you can buy these trading cards from the Card Shop on the official website or wrap them up using an Emblem Vault on the OpenSea platform.

TLDR: Moved to Downtown LA, social media is not my favorite, will try and post more, this UG is special. It has been 5+ months since I have posted anything as Time Titans on Instagram which is the longest break I've ever taken from it. And what a 5 months it's been. In that time I: moved from Portland to LA, setup a Downtown LA office, sold our Portland house and bought an LA house, launched a watch with @welsbrowatch . So even if I've been quiet on IG I've been very busy in real life. I think I let it drop for a few reasons: that intrinsically and at a core level I don't like social media (which perhaps just makes me a normal person), that my business in no way revolves around IG (eBay is the place I do almost all my business) and also that IG no longer prioritizes plain old images like the ones I've been posting for years. Regardless of all that I'll try and make a better effort to get back into a routine with it and post more frequently. With all that said I thought this wonderful Tri-Compax was a really good 'welcome back' watch. I remember back in the 90's in my dad's shop the general aura around a tri-compax; they were always valued by collectors. Even to people who don't know what they are looking at could appreciate the clearly special dial layout. What I love especially is the two tone movement, the nicest version of a 481, with a gilt baseplate and a stainless steel chronograph assembly. The condition is impeccable and is a true survivor and the HPC (High Precision Chronometer) dial marking adds some extra rarity. For those in Los Angeles or visiting I have a nice office downtown and am happy to show watches by appointment. - - - - - - - - - - #watch #watches #universalgeneve #tricompax #enversteel #UG481 #watchfam #vintagewatch #chronograph #chrono #vintagechrono #unpolished #radium #moonphase #DTLA #acrylic #highprecisionchronometer #rarewatch (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChZ1c7uLz7a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

NFT Trading Cards

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digital assets that have become collectibles. The concept behind NFT trading cards is that they are unique, making them an attractive investment option. Some digital creators have gone even further by turning NFTs into a collectible. In Spells of Genesis, for example, a NFT mobile game combines trading card functionality with arcade-style gameplay. In the game, players combine cards to create the strongest deck, then use it to battle their enemies.

The game has been steadily growing in popularity since its alpha launch. Tournaments and rewards have been in place since the alpha phase. Since the game is decentralized, the developers are unlikely to change the attributes of any card. As a result, the value of rare in-game collectibles is higher than its market price. However, it should be noted that the supply of rare cards is limited. Because of this, players can expect to see a gradual increase in their trading card values.

The NFT trading cards have a lot of potential, including being able to trade them among games. As with any trading card, the value of an NFT trading card will depend on rarity, utility, and certification. They are ideal for showing off and selling off, and they're even giving birth to an entirely new genre of digital games. Apple could even unveil an actual NFT trading card! Furthermore, augmented reality games could be on the way.

Another new market niche in the NFT space is sports. The new market for sports NFTs is being seized by Sorare, a popular soccer card game combining digital trading cards with league play. According to a recent McKinsey & Company analysis, the sports NFT audience is comprised of tech enthusiasts, collectors, and speculators. Although weekly sales of sports NFTs have decreased since February, monthly transactions have increased. This indicates that the market has a great deal of stickiness and could potentially be worth as much as $2.5 billion in sales annually in the US.

The free NFT game can be played on both desktops and mobile devices. However, certain abilities of the desktop version are not available on the mobile version. The mobile app, on the other hand, integrates the building decks and primary battling modes. In addition to that, NFTs also feature an option for trading and selling the cards. The cards, or NFTs, are collectible items that can be converted into ERC-721 tokens and sold in secondary NFT markets.

A physical trading card may not be worth much unless it is in mint condition. However, a digital trading card will still be worth money if its value appreciates. In other words, having an NFT does not mean you'll never find a physical trading card, as a Bitcoin wallet will have a physical version. A similar situation is true for NFTs. You may want to keep an eye on the market in the future before investing in a Bitcoin wallet.

Age of Chains is a relatively new brand in the NFT world, developed by Streamstars UG in Berlin. They are currently developing a haptic prototype that will allow them to playtest with their core community. Currently, this is one of the least active NFT trading card brands. Those looking to acquire one of these NFT trading cards can buy them at the Card Shop on the official website or wrap them in an Emblem Vault on OpenSea.

Gods Unchained is another example of a play-to-earn NFT trading card game. In this game, players build and sell decks based on different powers and abilities. These decks can then be used to battle other players. The better your deck, the more chances of winning! The game is currently free to play. However, the competitive aspect is the key here. A good player must always be ahead of their opponents or risk losing to a bot.

Another example of a collectible game is Sorare. This fantasy football game allows users to purchase, manage, and sell their virtual teams. In this game, players can set up virtual teams comprised of five players. These teams are ranked according to real world rankings. Currently, Sorare has licensed 215 football clubs. Among the Sorare trading cards are the Lionel Messi dunk, which sold for over $11,000! Sorare trading cards are also available on secondary marketplaces.

Another popular NFT trading card game is Mythereum. This game is powered by Ethereum. It lets players buy, sell, and trade cards. In this game, players can also purchase booster packs and collect their cards. However, the game requires a player to invest money before they can collect superior cards. This is why it is important to choose wisely when investing in digital assets. You don't want to get scammed! The best way to avoid it is to invest in the cards that are a great deal.

I’m having Indie Family Dramedy AU revelations of how our couples meet and come to be

RE Frostmaster: so, like I said, Loki is an art school drop-out using his art and thot talents to make a go of it in the big city art world. He’s got a show coming up and he’s ensuring that important connected people will be seeing his stuff. He manages to be someone’s date to a Sophisticated Art Event at Taneleer “The Collector” Tivan’s Chelsea gallery. He’s a Big Deal, owns 17 galleries across the world, 6 of which are in NYC, and he’ll actually be at this event so he’s Loki’s target which is unfortunate for Loki’s date. He’s having trouble making a connection with Taneleer, though. He’s not really getting face time with the man and when he does it’s all Not Interested vibes. But here is a sexy older guy there who IS taking the bait and it turns out he’s Taneleer’s brother. Loki observes them to be on good terms with each other and this guy turns out to be a law professor at a Pretigious Law School in NYC, which means $$$, so hey, this will do fine. En Dwi Ghast (ok Marvel is pushing me on fitting in space character names into modern planet earth AUs) turns up at Loki’s show, wants a piece to go in his new house in the Hamptons. Too bad Loki’s stuff has all sold, but he suggests setting up a visit to Loki’s studio and the two of them can make a piece together since, you know, it’s all about the Creation Process blah blah blah, and yes this part is absolutely ripped from that one SATC episode. Anyway, that’s where they first hook up and that’s how the Grandmaster has a piece of abstract art in his study where you would almost think two people covered in paint fucked on a canvas to make this.... RE Thorkyrie: so Thor is a first year at a Prestigious Law School in NYC and he’s entering school with those big “Is This What I Want With My Life Am I Just Please Dad Who Am I?” type questions so that’s the emotional baggage he’s bringing into this new situation and more specifically into the school bookstore. He can’t find this one book and he’s stressed and oh no his brain decides this mild inconvenience in a public place is the perfect catalyst for a big emotional reckoning. As he’s spiraling someone,brusquely, asks if he needs help with something. Valkyrie is really just asking because this guy is in her way, but he looks up and he’s a mess so, ug ok fine she’ll help him find what he’s looking for. They end up talking outside on a bench (Valkyrie wisely suggests some fresh air). Valkyrie learns he’s a first year, Thor learns she’s in her 3rd year and is a TA. Thor points out, “Hey so here I am the crying blond first year law student, you’re the cute helpful TA...” and Valkyrie’s like “I hate that movie. I need to get going. See you around” and Thor does see her around as the TA for his Survey of Intellectual Property course (the professor gives off real Hot But Crazy vibes, in Thor’s opinion) and they grow to be actual friends. His love/her hate for Legally Blonde becomes a series of inside jokes for them and once she’s no longer his TA, he asks her to a party, like, as a date. She, mostly jokingly, says only if he goes full Elle Woods and comes dressed as a Playboy Bunny, and Thor is like ABSOLUTELY I WILL DO THAT FOR YOU
