A Journey From Paper Wallets to Digital Toads - A Personal Note from a Founder

Dear $turbo community,

My name is Andrew. Full time, I am a father, a husband, and a Doctor of Physical Therapy. I spend my workdays within the confines of a healthcare system that has seen better days. But there's another side to me that many of you may not know. Outside of my professional life, I am a crypto enthusiast, an art lover, and a dreamer.

My journey into crypto began at a seemingly ordinary Christmas party, where my x’s cousin supplied two paper wallets, each with 5 Dogecoins to the Pollyanna. "These will be worth a lot more one day," he said. I picked that gift and held onto them, partly out of curiosity, partly out of trust. Three years later, I sold one of them for $1,200 and, sadly, lost the other in a move.

Around a year ago, I fell into the vibrant world of web3, attracted by its transformative potential for the art world. This led me to found @findartsociety, a platform meant to educate traditional artists about NFTs and assist NFT artists in selling and licensing their physical work. Although the business struggled to gain traction during the bear market, the experience deepened my understanding of the NFT space and helped me connect with incredible minds across the globe.

Six months ago, a text from a long-time friend and talented artist changed everything. He had just contributed to the Art Gobbler's project, and in return, received a free NFT. Looking beyond the FUD surrounding Art Gobblers, I found a community of very talented artists and animators who were just dipping their toes into the NFT world. (Please note: I do not advise buying Art Gobblers due to their problematic practices).

One of the silver linings of the Art Gobbler saga was meeting James during our weekly draw sessions. Our energy synced almost instantly. After our first session, we knew our creativity was destined to converge on something special. On May 8th, I texted James, "Hey, do you want to make a meme PFP?" He replied with a hearty "Hell yeah!" and got to work that very night.

Fast forward two weeks. James brought in rvscvnx, we connected with the vibrant $turbo community, and now we are all tirelessly working to launch a phenomenal PFP project with a heartwarming backstory, all in less than three weeks.

It's a dream come true for me to explore my creativity alongside over 16,000 holders, embarking on a journey that began with art. I am honored by the trust this community has placed in me, and I am thrilled about delivering a collection that we can cherish and talk about for years to come.
