Would you like to have a kingdom? Thrones NFT
Friday, 28th of January 2022
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to own a kingdom? Recently I have been watching many movies where old style kingdoms are prevalent. Ladies in their beautiful attires and gentlemen, who behave like gentlemen... dreamy.
But hey, even in this day and age it is possible be the owner of the Kingdom! It will be virtual one for sure, but that's where our world is currently heading - into the Metaverse, right? The profit your virtual kingdom can possibly bring will not be virtual at all.
Please bear in mind that nothing in this or any of my articles should be interpreted as a financial advise! I am merely sharing my experiences and information I find from various sources.
That being said, I went all out on Queens. When I say all out, I mean I actually used my FIAT to buy BCH, so I can mint many many Queens. In fact I did more than this - a friend of mine wanted me to invest some money for her too and I used around half of it to buy Queens and the rest to buy other NFTs and tokens.
Am I crazy? Maybe! Of course there are risks in investing big sums of money into pretty much anything. However after the success of LawPunks I promised myself that when the next good opportunity arises I will be the first one to invest a lot.
I've been observing all the new NFT projects on SmartBCH very closely and Thrones NFTs really hit the spot for me. Not only is the art on these the most appealing for me as well as many other investors, but the utility that Thrones team is promising on their website is what really convinced me to go all in.
Thrones record mint
Thrones mint has been anticipated since the end of last year and as planned it was commenced on the 7th of January 2022. Before the mint I knew many people were interested in this mint and to be on the safe side I distributed my funds to 2 separate accounts. Luckily it wasn't as fast as some expected, so after initial mints I could see that there were some rare Queens that I haven't minted yet, so I shuffled my SmartBCH tokens around to get some more funds and minted until I had one with Starry Night background.
Finally in the very last mint I saw my most wanted queen and I could breathe again. Good job too, as I have already run out of BCH to mint anymore. I'm really unsure why I wanted it so much, as this turned out to be not the rarest of backgrounds, but I really really liked it. That said, out of... many many Queens I minted I didn't manage to get the rarest of all - Albion.
Thrones mint was the first of the record mints on SmartBCH, with 10 000 Queens at the price of 0.03BCH minted within just over 3 hours. 300BCH collected for the project in such a short time only shows that I was not the only one who believed in this project from the start. Sure, many people minted just to get rares and flip them for profit asap then move on to another project. This happens in every project that I've seen so far. Many people however are keeping their Queens in preparation for the Kings!
Thrones exciting Roadmap
When visiting Thrones website there is not all that much to look at at the moment. Before the mint started I was visiting it often to read about future plans and to remind myself why I want to invest. Looking at the beautiful Queens of many faces from all sides of the world always did the trick for me.
Some people say that all Queens look the same for them after a while. I can not say that I agree with this statement. I looked at my Queens for hours on end and I still find all of them very unique. Not only the rare Queens that everyone is hunting - like Blue, Green and Albion face, Crown Scepter or Countryside Background. For me they are all beautiful and there is a Queen for everyone's taste in my opinion.
Let's get back to the Roadmap though.
Once Queens mint was over the next big thing everyone is waiting for is Kings Collection. The team is not releasing many details, so far only one picture of the final looks has been released.
The January is almost over as I write this, so I'm guessing soon we will know some more about the mint date of Kings. To be honest I'm not in a mad rush, as I still need to collect some funds for the Kings. Once Queens mint was over, I just couldn't stay away from Oasis bot and I was keep buying cheap rare queens. Now that the hype died down a little it's rather tricky to sell anything at a good price. Not to worry though, I'm sure hype will be back with the mint of Kings.
Going into the future a bit, there is new website planned for March 2022, as well as the NFT staking and Utility Token release. The latter is the part many investors look forward to the most - an utility for our beautiful Queens and Kings NTFs! I seriously can't wait to put them all to work for me.
What happens afterwards is an icing on the cake. Some time in 2022 there will be new update released where we will be able to form couples with Queens and Kings and get a Prince or a Princess. How exciting!
Last, but not least - there comes the Kingdom. Once all other updates have been released, couples have been formed and cute Princesses born, only then the lands will be distributed to the Royal Families.
Nobody really knows how far in the future will this happen, but I can tell you one thing - it makes me super excited whenever I read the Roadmap of Thrones.
Until next time ๐
Wow! Are these all yours? ๐ฒ๐ Many rare! So if I have only one queen I should hold her, right? I missed the minting and just bought one in these days. A simple one I think, but I like her heart lips ๐ hehe
