I like NFT Siblings
First some history
It all started as an investment community.
It was founded in early 2021 by JC, a 7-year veteran digital goods trader, investor, and Pak fan. Such was the connection, that Pak themselves created the Siblings logo (see above)
JC and the Sibling family made numerous profitable calls. Including a video where JC asked us to buy a Pak Cube in April 2021
Later on, during the Summer of JPGs, they launched their own NFT collection: Starlings (originally, it was called Star Sailor Siblings, but it got rebranded to avoid confusion.)
They first sold a Starship, which was a pass that allowed you to mint your starlings without a gas war. It was a novel procedure back then.
It obviously sold out, but everything sold out in minutes during that interesting summer.
There was no roadmap. That was a conscious decision. JC always repeated “underpromise and overdeliver”. He didn’t want to commit to things that were not dependent on him. The Siblings community was anyway like a family that had been sharing thoughts together for several months. There was almost no marketing, so it was built on trust. We had already been sharing a lot and token-gating it was not going to change much. But it was fun. We could do fun things and maybe even profit from it.
Then there was a desert.
It looked like the project didn’t do much (apart from keeping sharing alpha together). Hodlers asked JC to explain why. There was silence. Or delays in the answers. Maybe too much. The team was pressed for a roadmap and they kind of shared a few ideas of what they had in mind.
But bad things kept happening. To my knowledge, there were some issues with the hired dev. And that slowed down everything. Some people got tired of not having their bags pumped, so they dumped it slowly.
It was Jan 2022 and JC decided to cover the costs of what we expected but didn’t get.
The price has gone down (as with most projects right now). At the moment I’m writing this, the floor is ~0.014eth.
But they keep working!
I’m obviously biased, because I’ve invested some bucks (and more time) in the project, but I want
to share with you.
The bear hits hard, but the team is growing. They keep trying to build something that lasts long. They're forming a committee to be more effective.
My reasons
They have changed course when required. For example, they know that there’s oversupply of Starlings, so they’re doing burning events. We get to burn them in exchange for better stuff.
I’ve already taken part in a few burning events. I have profited economically from all of them. The worst was the last one: I burned 2 Starlings (that I got on secondary for less than 0.02 each). I wasn’t lucky, so I “just” won a Page. It was priced at 0.09. 2x in a matter of minutes.
They did one on Nifty Gateway where you could get these beauties (see right) in exchange.
The movement looks slow. Specially with NFT eyes. But they never intended to pump the price. They always intended to build something sustainable and long lasting. They even got their ENS until year 2500 😂
So I just keep watching them. The family is nice. The entry price is cheap, so the risk/benefits ratio is quite asymmetrical. I get a ton of "value" just by being there and I enjoy being part of that family. It's a win no matter how I frame it.
The team kept doing (imo) cool stuff. Always focused on education. But the market showed they didn't care.
