xSTIK AMA
xSTIK is an XRP-based NFT collection with a deep focus on community. The team and the community push full transparency and share the same vision and goal for the project.
There are constant discussions within the community chats about innovation, pushing the project, and XRP forward. The project has received backing from huge names within the industry, including Jeremy Hogan and John E. Deaton. They even have their own custom NFT sets. Other supporters include @XRPjenna, @THEREALESMITTY, @cryptokhloe_, @RoseXrp, @JustWazza_BCXRP, @Chloe_Le_Pen, and many more.
We, The Great Moonshot, have collaborated with the team behind xSTIK to bring a community-based AMA and give us and their investors a deeper insight into the future of xSTIK.
Questions & Answers
Q: I know xSTIK has all of the essentials ready (WP, website, etc.). Before the launch on the 9th of December 2021, how long did the preparation take before it was all ready?
A: We started preparing for the project in early November 2021. We had Twitter and Instagram set up first. Then Sam created the token on the 9th of December, and two days after that, we had the website and whitepaper ready. Things started moving really fast after that, and we had a HUGE airdrop of 500M tokens on January 16th.
Q: Is there a chance that Elon Musk would likely have an xSTIK custom NFT?
A: We hope so! We’d definitely make him one with a little discount. Haha.
Q: I’ve met a few people that have sold their $XSTIK back to $XRP, thinking $XSTIK will be worthless in the future. For those people, I’d like to ask if there are any future plans for how $XSTIK is valued other than purchasing NFTs—such as passive income, etc.?
A: Other than extensive reward systems and $xSTIK being the NFT currency, we might see some game adaptations in the future. But we also plan to keep the token supply deflationary to help maintain its value as demand rises.
Q: In the year 2030, do you think I will be able to buy a coffee with my $XSTIK tokens?
A: Once XRP has gotten clarity and is widely adopted, sure! Cryptos are the future, and we believe in them.
Q: Any forecast as to when the price will likely reach 1:1?
A: We can’t give financial advice or price predictions. But what we can say is that the team will work tirelessly to bring value to the project—NFTs and the token.
Q: Will xSTIK also go into animation? For example, creating an animated series featuring all the #xSTIK characters, like @LEGO_Group is doing?
A: This has been discussed. The characters xSTIK has created have unlimited potential. The lore (backstory in the whitepaper) supports this type of development. We could hire a skilled animator later on.
Q: Do you have a target for how many $XSTIK coins you plan to burn? And how long will $XSTIK allow users to stake?
A: We haven’t decided on the target supply after burning yet, but 589M sounds nice, right? The holders’ staking zone will continue as long as we have supply to sustain it.
Q: Will $XSTIK be creating custom NFTs for @JoelKatz and @bgarlinghouse?
A: xSTIK’s target is to become the official XRP mascot and the go-to project for NFT artwork. So yes, we might create custom sets for them!
Q: $XSTIK has been blowing up in their Telegram channel. Do you think you can keep this up and keep the channel so much fun?
A: We are constantly coming up with ideas to keep our Telegram interesting and fun for the community.
Q: I’ve wanted to know this for a while—are Sumi’s (artist) hands insured?
A: They are not insured, but they should be! Sumi creates amazing artwork with over 30 years of experience.
Q: Sumi, Sam, and Alex (team members), if you only had one word to describe yourselves, what word would you choose?
A:
- Sumi: Talented
- Sam: Innovative
- Michael: Perfectionist
Q: What are the greatest innovations that xSTIK has achieved?
A: The xSTIK characters, NFT auctions, drop zone reward system, and the custom NFT workshop just to name a few.
Final Notes from the Founder
"And the most important thing at the end: The greatest value of xSTIK lies in the artwork. Our artist, Sumi Stik, does all the NFT artwork and xSTIK characters. We copy from nobody—every artwork is unique and innovative. Sumi has a distinctive style. He can draw freehand (custom NFTs) and do vector graphics (NFT tier cards). There is no limit to what he can really do. This is the greatest asset of our project.
Sumi is 43 years old, a professional AD and designer with 30 years of experience doing artwork. One of my best friends in real life also knew him from 1998."
