Here’s why I’m bullish on @AzukiOfficial and #azukibeanz why you should be too).

I recently joined the garden and i want to break down the reason why.

I’ll cover:

- The past
- Successes
- The May Fud
- Why I changed my mind
- The present & Future 🧵
As some of you know…

Their journey to success has been a real-life Rocky story.

Yes, the Italian Stallion.

Just when it seemed like the FUD hit them down , it got back up and got stronger
🔸Who

Azuki, a PFP project featuring 10,000 anime-inspired NFTs, burst onto the scene in January 2022.

They quickly gained a following due to its art, marketing strategy and and clear roadmap.

They immediately shared the "reason why" while 99% of other projects didn’t.
🔸 The Mint Day

Originally, Azuki was set to be minted via Dutch auction, starting at 1 Eth.

An higher mint price that created controversy which brought the hype they needed.

aka, geniuses at work.

Result: They sold out its full supply in no time.
🔸 The Huge Rise of beans

What happened in the following minutes and days captured the attention of the NFT market right in the middle of its bull run.

Everyone was talking about them. Posting about them. Wanting to know more about them.

+40.000 ETH volume in few days.
🔸The Reveal and the Crowing of Azuki

Unlike 99% of projects before them that collapsed like a boxer hit in the face, Azuki immediately stood out by revealing what every founder would want to see.

The art was liked so much that they saw an instantaneous pump.

We are Azuki ✊
🔸Beanz Airdrop

During The Garden Party Azuki team announced the airdrop of 20.000 Beanz to all their collectors.

Another time, the art was lit and the excitment was at ATH.

Holders received a new piece of art with a new narrative.

Beanz was trading on secondary for 3 eth.
🔸 The Danger Around the Corner

A wise man one day said: "It's difficult to reach the top but falling is a moment."

This is what happens to anyone who reaches the top of an industry, sport or career.

When you're on top, the enemies increase and the dangers too...and happened
🔸The fud

We are taught from a young age that being honest should bring advantages, but it's not always the case.

May 9th the co-founder @ZAGABOND tweeted a blog post discussing how his last three NFT projects came to an end by being abandoned as failed experiment.
🔸A United Community Stronger Than Ever

At that time, any kind of company, project, dea would die with its founder. Deceased, forgotten forever.

But not in the Garden.

The garden and all its members supported their kingdom and understood their founders giving a second chance
🔸The BEAR and the BULLS

The bear market when hits...well, hits hard!

All the assets were down. No volume. No confidence. No future ahead.

But when people were losing hope and selling even threir moms...Azukis and Beanzs protected their garden.

Coz they are Azuki.
🔸The Reversal, The Regrets and the Apologies

People who had given up on Azuki (including myself) began to change their mind seeing its strenght.

It's not easy to admit you're wrong, but being smart means this.

Peaple realized that Azuki is like Cobrakai... Never Dies.
🔸The Future of Azuki

In recent days, Azuki, coinciding with its first birthday, has released Hilumia.

The crossroads of the Garden.

And while some were expecting free airdrop with no value, Azuki has shown clear sign of wanting to dominate the next future.
🔸The Moral

The moral of the story is clear:

Actions speak louder than words.

While many projects talked without delivering anything, they delivered without talking.

And most of the credit must go to one of the best communities in the world.

Proud to be a part of it.
At the end, the Azuki success has been a real-life Rocky story.

Just when it seemed like the FUD hit them down, it got back up and got stronger.

This is why I’m bullish and you should be too imo ✊

1- Let the show begins.

There are two macro types of people.

1️⃣ First Trait: Those who, when alone and lost, they do everything to find a place in the world. They study day&night, they work hard, they bring value and unconditional help.

2️⃣ Those who, when alone and lost, they do everything to find a place in the world. They study day&night, they work hard, they bring value and unconditional help.

The 3 REASONS why you’re not growing your INCOME 💰year after year - even if you’re trying hard.

🛑 I’d be seen as brutal but this how life goes 🛑

Giving away $500 in ETH to one person who follows and Retweet THIS 🧵
1 - Your subconscious mind is the SAME as it was years ago.

Our actions are the results of our subconscious mind that controls US with the autopilot 95% of the time.

Why? Cause brains were made to save energy and run our life. Is a huge thing.But used in the wrong way is BAD.
2 - Your skills are the same OR they are more and better day by day BUT your subconscious mind drains the potential you could HAVE if you only had different behaviors and “automatic” thoughts.

The 🧠 can turn ON or OFF all your potential.
