NFT project that will change the world.
I am 27 years old. I work as an airline pilot in Japan. In the near future, I will leave the cockpit and start an NFT project that will change the world. You can follow me on Twitter @pilotraders if you'd like.
Introduction
I was born in 1994. When I was a child, my dream was to become a professional football player. However, after taking my first flight on an airplane during junior high school, I knew that flying was what I was meant to do. And when I got home from the trip, I asked my mother to take me to the bookstore and buy a book about the airline industry.
Ever since I was little, I had always knew that I wanted to do something different than the others, and after reading that book, I was hooked. Strange, but before reading it, I didn’t even know that a pilot’s job existed. But from then on, I began putting together my long-term plan to make my dream of becoming a pilot come true.
Taking into consideration the amount of time I had to make this a reality, I made the difficult decision remove everything from my life that could get in the way of my journey. And because my grades were somewhat low at the time, my thinking was to accomplish this in the shortest amount of time possible.
I also decided that learning English would be necessary, so I devoted myself to studying it tirelessly. In fact, I would study for up to 10 hours a day during my summer vacation. And as a result, my exam grades improved dramatically in just a month. Before that, I didn’t even know what verbs were!
Along the way, I came close to making a few less-than-perfect choices (including nearly dropping out of high school), but the people in my circle supported me. And for this reason, I will remain forever grateful to my family and classmates for their support.
Then, after nearly 10 years of studying hard, I was finally able to fulfill my dream of becoming a pilot. It was the greatest accomplishment of my life. I even started picking up other hobbies afterwards like writing blogs, learning programming, editing videos with Adobe Premiere Pro, obtaining boat and marine licenses, and more!
At the age of 21, I began investing, and primarily focus on US stocks and crypto currencies. When I was 26, I bought my first condominium for $640,000.00 and sold it 6 months later for $730,000.00. Now, the price of that condo is $990,000.00. Because of this, I still keep a close eye on the real estate market.
Why I Got Into NFTs
I’m the type of person who puts my entire focus into what I believe in. So after looking into blockchain, I became convinced that it would become a major technology in the future. And by getting involved with NFTs and blockchain, it became even more clear that I would be able to accomplish my next major goal in life, which I describe a little later on.
Also, because the market is still so young, right now is the best time to begin building an NFT project before the masses enter the space. In fact, I plan on leaving the cockpit very soon to start an NFT project that will change the world.
My Vision of the Future World
Before I talk about the details of my NFT project, I'd like to share my vision of the future world. Personally, I believe that we will live in a society where some people will focus on the physical world, others will live primarily in the Metaverse, and many will go back and forth between the two. In any case, a huge amount of economic activities will take place in the Metaverse, just like the real world. I also believe that 3D avatars will play a very important role in the Metaverse.
NFT Project
I know that I can’t launch a world-changing NFT project by myself. Therefore, I’m looking to build a team who is looking to achieve the same goal.
Imagine the greatest football player in the world, Lionel Messi played against 11 members of the Japanese national football team by himself. No matter how good he is, Lionel Messi will lose going up against 11 professional opponents. This is also true for my work as an airline pilot. Ground staffs, mechanics, flight attendants, and pilots all work together to fly the airplane safely. We have limits on how hard we can work on our own, so we team up with CREWs from all over the world—to help us change the world.
By the way, NFT holders for this project will be called CREWs... Just like the airlines.
Three Goals of the NFT Project
1. Create the Future of the Aviation Industry.
Sadly, a few years after becoming a pilot, COVID-19 came around and due to a decrease in travel demand, we were forced to reduce flights. As a result, my workload was cut, and as you can imagine, so was my salary.
Like many, up until then I had never experienced anything like this. We were even trying to find ways to conserve fuel to help keep the industry alive. After much thought, I came up with the idea of starting my own project and donating a portion of the proceeds to the aviation industry, as I believe strongly in its importance for the world. I also believe that it is only a matter of time before flying cars and eVTOLs will be buzzing around.
But in order to best-help the aviation industry’s future, I chose to quit my job and support it in the form of donations and investments. I am grateful for the airline industry fulfilling my dreams and raising me into my adult years, and all of the passengers who boarded on my flights.
Lastly, I believe it is essential to invest in companies manufacturing in flying cars and eVTOLs that will become popular in the future. I also want to donate and invest in airlines who are in-need around the world because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. Create the Future of the World.
Once the groundwork has been laid for donations and investments, I think other industries need to be boosted as well. After all, the world is not only made up by the aviation industry. And in doing so, make the world more vibrant.
There are people all over the world who have the passion to start their own business but due to a lack of funds, are unable to achieve their dream. Therefore, my hopes are that through this project we can support those people who are passionate about their future. I'm also thinking about starting an eVTOL manufacturing company with funds invested directly from this project.
3. Bring World Peace.
Personally, I have my doubts on the need for weapons in the world. I’ve always wondered why people who were born on the same planet would ever want to fight each other at all, let alone with weapons. Instead, I believe that if we have money to buy more of them—we should give it to the poor.
I would also like to eliminate racism from the world. When I was studying in the United States, I was sworn at just for walking down the street. I can never understand why Asians are discriminated against even though we are the same human race. I also want to help solve poverty and other unnecessary conflicts.
I was born in a peaceful, war-free Japan with the option to work with anyone I choose and want to make sure that others have this freedom as well—without prejudice.
Next Steps
In order to move forward with my NFT project, the following actions are needed:
・Increase the number of CREWs supporting the NFT project.
・Create and present a concrete roadmap.
・Build a website that only CREWs can access.
・Set up a Discord group.
・Create NFTs with well-thought out precision.
I will be looking forward to hearing from engineers who are familiar with NFT production, people who specialize in Discord management, and companies who support projects like this in hopes that together, we can change the world.
Project Strategies
・Assemble enthusiastic CREWs in each country and have them communicate the project in their respective languages.
・Encourage Fanfic to help raise the popularity of our original project. Guidelines for fanfic will be developed in the near future.
・Create original NFT goods. An example would be a white T-shirt with the project's NFT shown on it. I will upload a photo of myself wearing the white t-shirt to SNS or Discord. I would like to discuss with CREWs about other goods in the future.
・Upload behind-the-scenes footage of our activities on YouTube to show the progress of the NFT project. In addition, our goal will be to create a documentary about the feelings of each member of the project, as well as the employees of our investees and donors. In any case, I will use various SNS to increase the number of followers and channel subscribers.
・All CREWs should be given the right to vote so that they can choose which companies to donate and invest in. It might also be a good idea to use tokens like $AIR to vote for those options.
・I aim to not only take care of my CREWs, but also the employees of our investees and donors which will further increase enthusiasm for the project.
・Ask the companies we will donate and invest in to send out press releases about the project.
・Negotiate with airlines to conduct a campaign to give away airline tickets to CREWs. For companies that are developing flying cars or eVTOLs, we could hold events where CREWs and their families can experience the latest models. If there is a limit to the number of people who can participate in those events, we could create a lottery with our original tokens. These events can provide excitement for CREWs and get more people interested in flying cars and eVTOLs.
・Start a Discord invitation campaign. CREWs who invite the most amount of people to the Discord will receive NFTs.
・Ask an influential celebrity to design the NFT to help increase the popularity of the project.
・Adjust supply so that no NFTs are left unsold.
・Raise the level of community enthusiasm and encourage CREWs to use the projects NFTs as profile pictures on SNS and Discord.
NFTs and Original Goods
The NFTs and original goods I would like to design at this point are as follows.
・The first NFT project will be called Airbits. I’m also interested in producing airplane NFTs that can fly in the Metaverse, and hope to collaborate with Boeing and Airbus on those.
・The second NFT project will be realistic looking human NFTs like Pixar characters.
・As the Metaverse is expected to become more and more popular in the future, 3D NFTs will be used in each series. I will also offer 3D printing services so that users can have physical versions to hold in the real world.
・We also intend on collaborating with world-renowned apparel companies such as FAST RETAILING, which operates UNIQLO.
Things to consider when building an NFT project
・Never forget to be altruistic.
・Always generate excitement with CREWs.
・Always take care of CREWs as well as the employees of our investees and donors.
・Never change our focus on changing the world.
・Listen to the opinions of our CREWs.
・Every NFT and original good must be produced with the utmost care.
・Maintain our vision and continue producing results.
・Be flexible.
・Always be objective, and look at myself from an objective viewpoint.
In Closing
Thank you very much for taking the time to read about me and my dream. I am passionate about changing the world through my NFT projects and look forward to hearing from people who share similar thoughts. Please feel free to share this on SNS and anywhere else that you think we may reach an audience.
Together, let’s change the world!
