We give out Real Crypto on the Daily and Don’t ask Members to Pay gas Fees if they Win a Giveaway — Creator's Interview

I am interviewing Bobby Knight/Miner49er - Creator & Promotional Director, and  Vincent VaNFT - Head Artist & Developer at Crypto Rich Kids NFT. 

Chris: Crypto Rich Kids represent innovation. How does the Crypto Rich Kids NFT collection do that?

Vincent: We represent innovation in several ways. Our flagship concept is instilling intrinsic value in our NFTs prior to developing the extrinsic (community value) and hype. What I mean by that is this: We want the NFT to be an automatic ticket to passive income for the holder by giving already agreed upon valuable crypto assets, rather than a native token. We also implemented a new way of staking which we call “claim staking,” in which every secondary sale of the main collection Crypto Rich Kids NFTs will be divided, with 2.5% of the sale going to a Community DAO for further investment into the project perpetually. The second 7.5% royalty from each secondary sale will go into a community staking wallet from which holders will be able to claim their share on a bi-weekly basis. Another way we innovate is by being the FIRST community to reward our members in actual crypto; BTC, MATIC and DOGE just for being an active member on discord. For Crypto Rich Kid holders, they will be allowed into a special VIP area of the discord where we will rain up to $500 a week in free crypto. This amount of weekly crypto rain will scale with the growth of our project.

Chris: The Crypto Rich Kids highlight the recent transfers wealth from traditional “boomer” markets to the crypto youth of the world. How many tokens are set to release in this period?

Bobby Knight: We are realizing a main collection for sale of 10,000 unique NFTs with 222 Traits. We have an exclusive pre-collection, called the CRK OG dollars, which we only minted 999 and 500 will be airdropped to the first 500 buyers on drop day. We also have a secondary exclusive all-female collection of 999 NFTs called “Crypto Rich Chicks”, a group of wealthy females empowered by the crypto revolution, which will be airdropped to members with the most rare Crypto Rich Kids.

Chris: Similarly, what will be the cost of each NFT? How much will be charged as gas?

Vincent: The cost for each NFT will be 150 MATIC for the first drop on February 22nd, 200 MATIC for the second drop on February 23rd, 250 MATIC for the final drop on February 24th. We estimate gas cost for each NFT will cost less than $0.01 USD in MATIC.

Chris: Clearly, you have some rare tokens. Do you have a rarity definition chart for the reference of the investors?

Bobby Knight: We have put together a fantastic rarity calculator for our website, and we are glad to provide this service to CRK NFT holders in the interest of transparency and optimal customer service.

Chris: It is without a doubt that you have a great backing. You have the rich experience of successful NFTs like Bored Ape Yacht Club and Crypto Punks. How do you want to take Crypto Rich Kids NFT forward after NFT sales?

Vincent: While we aren’t affiliated with those projects, we derived certain artistic concepts from what we consider two of the most influential names in the space. We want to continue to build intrinsic value in each NFT so that our main concept of enriching the holder is realized simply by holding the NFT, avoiding the need to flip it for a higher price. We feel this significantly increases the value before hype and community even come into the equation, unlike some very expensive collections which don’t provide any enrichment to the holder outside of secondary sale.

Chris: Besides your art, what differentiates your community-building from other NFT communities?

Bobby Knight: We find it important to provide financial support & NFTs to our members BEFORE they mint to support the project, while most others force potential buyers to grind on Discord, or social media for just the hope of a WL spot. We give out real crypto on the daily. We don’t ask members to pay gas fees if they win a giveaway. We genuinely hope to provide opportunity and supplemental income for our active members, especially those from developing countries, even when they can’t afford our main collection because this is a family. We have received thank you messages from some of our discord and Twitter members for helping them to put food on their tables. Nothing could feel better than hearing something like that from your community, and we look forward to the day we can provide even more.

Chris: Please elaborate on the process of buying the Crypto Rich Kids NFT in simple terms.

Vincent: We have made it overwhelmingly simple for our buyers to mint an NFT. Simply by visiting our website, buyers can mint directly through our custom minting portal using MATIC on the Polygon Network. We have chosen the Polygon Network due to its lessened impact on the environment compared to Ethereum. We have brought the mining fees down from well over $200 to less than a penny by switching from Ethereum to Polygon.

Chris: Are you guys making an NFTGame?

Bobby Knight: We actually are making a P2E browser game because that’s what the community wants, but our whole aim is for you to make enough passive income to afford an Xbox and a new game every week. We focus on the “money-making” utilities for holders.

Chris: Do you feel you have given enough reasons, in the sea of great art and utility out there in the NFT space, for buyers to invest in your project, alongside some of the big sellers right now?

Vincent: I think we all have that nervous feeling going into drop day regardless of all the variables involved. The only project I see defying norms AND is killing it, is #mfers and they seem to be pure community love and support. IMO, with the utility we’ve put in place, coupled with our community connection, I think we have a shot.
