ALBINO GOTH｜白のゴス by @majinbysoto
Auction opens Nov 18 @ 10a ET on Manifold Marketplace manifold.xyz/@majinbysoto/id…
SECURE YOUR GRAIL (one week left)
Our next 1/1, the Albino Goth, will be auctioned officially on @manifoldxyz from November 18–24.
This piece introduces one of Majin's main characters: the Albino Goth, haunted by the Diamond Curse and accompanied by his white ferret, with the enormous Goat Demon waiting beyond the Torii gate.
The winner receives the 1/1 artwork, the matching grail from the Majin PFP collection, and a large physical edition of the illustration.
Bidding starts at only 0.15 ETH.
Our first 1/1 was auctioned for 13.3 ETH on Manifold — so this might be a great opportunity to mark on your calendar!
Simple Plan for XRP:
> If the price is in the purple box, I'll buy.
> (Average in until it leaves the box again)
> Time-capitulation matters more to me here than price.
Long-term swing play

Fine, I'll do it myself.
Ideally, close monthly above 76k
71k = line in the sand; great RRR if you have a long time horizon, imo

Last time the market didn't properly sell off after a huge event like this was the FTX collapse
When I saw the lack of follow through then I got giga bullish
And we subsequently went from 16k to 100k
Hard to be bearish here after having been given the same setup yet again

New technology is breeding new propaganda. I dive into the massive amounts used during the French and wider European protests. What's the worst you've seen?

This was the very first character design that we conceptualized for Majin. The goal was primarily to test our unique color palette and understand how much design complexity we can add.
That last part is important, because in addition to our PFPs and anime, we are working on manga too. And for that you have to retain a certain degree of efficiency when the same character has to be drawn over and over again in different panels and poses.
Which means; if the outfit or other traits are excessively complex, either consistency or quality will suffer in the long run — or you will slow down production significantly for potentially little gains in aesthetics.
In the end, great design is always inspired by a degree of simplicity anyways. That's exactly what makes it so hard. Because you want unique and memorable characters, but at the same time have to achieve that without adding too many layers.
For animations it's also advantageous if a character is immediately recognizable without the full depth of detail. Especially since certain studios are infamous for pretty sloppy frames, and because you cannot expect the technical execution later to honor the same artistic detail as the manga or PFPs.
I learned a lot from these earlier stages of our creative processes and I'm happy to say that we significantly refined our artistic approach since then. Even the Fallen Angel design is still being reworked to minimize complexity and to maximize recognizability. It's worth spending time on this, because it will massively enhance the individual trait quality in our collection.
The ideal outcome of balancing these opposites is more detail and harmony than the web3 space has ever seen before. And at the same time we streamline our manga production and secure a very high standard for our animations.

Not every dollar of revenue says the same thing.
Two questions I ask about it:
▪️ Who pays: real customers outside of crypto or mostly other crypto users?
▪️ Would they still pay in a weak market?
DePIN projects with real customers can answer both well and imho that's where the sector stands out.
They build infrastructure with real-world impact and can earn money more independently of crypto markets than projects whose revenue mostly comes from trading activity.
