I must admit I'm absolutely astonished at the amount of effort @templedao put to prepare the Opening Ceremony. Combining Discord, Cryptovoxels, Metamask into a seamless gaming / metaverse experience also gives me a lot of confidence in the level of technical skills the Team has. 
Many may feel discouraged by the lack of clear instructions how to participate in the ceremony. "Just take my money and let me ape in!".
But making it difficult to enter may be a very clever idea.

Firstly, it's really hard and time-consuming to complete all the quests on your own. That's why you need to collaborate with others. This collective effort to find the right way is the process of creating a community. And strong community is everything for the project.
Secondly, when you spend a lot of time to get in and finally succeed, you start to appreciate the experience. You admire the work someone put to prepare this nightmare for you and, in hindsight, you realise that you actually enjoyed it. Stockholm syndrome?
Thirdly, Yuval Noah Harari in Homo deus wrote that the more we suffer for a myth, the more we believe in it because we desperately need to give a greater meaning to our torture. Maybe this long launch will turn flippers into believers and forge the strongest hands ever?
If you haven't participated in the Opening Ceremony yet, join the Discord, find some clues and play. I don't know if this will be financially "life-changing", as a lot of money will flow in and crowded trades may have limited upside, but I'm in it for the tech and culture :)
