PFP (Profile Pictures)

PFPs are in the spotlight as a very important means of expressing oneself to the masses living in modern times. One of the roles of the PFPs is to allow you to express your various identities, emotions and artistic inspiration as you alter ego in metaspace on my behalf.

PFPs may either simply be collectibles, or be a method of more actively expressing my interests, concerns, tastes and preferences, and can play an important role in forming a naturally created community and accompanying group culture.

In the future, PFPs may serve as a kind of social and cultural identification card, and it is expected that it will act as a very appropriate tool and have value for meeting friends globally and digitally connecting and interacting in metaspace.

NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens)

The ERC-721 standard, called the NFT, is designed that each token has a unique ID, so there is no duplicate token. Therefore, it can be said that the NFT is the only so-called non-replaceable token.

The NFT has an original authentication function and a non-replaceable feature. Therefore, the NFT is able to guarantee the non-reproducible and original authentication of digital items, which has been impossible in human history, and the unforgeable function of the owner’s information.

Thanks to these characteristics of the NFT, we can now freely engage in creative activities for profit and non-profit without fear of digital items. In short, this is a revolutionary change that has never been seen before in human history, and at the same time enables the hypothesis that NFTs have the potential to evolve and develop in various fields in the future.

Original authentication, non-reproducibility, owner confirmation and verification functions for digital items, which were previously considered impossible will open a huge market for NFT works in the future. It is anticipated that various applications utilizing the NFT efficacy will be deployed in the real world and in metaspace.

In a word, it is believed that the NFT will open up a world of new digital items, the world which could not and did not exist before, and that the NFT will become a technological element creating a market.

The MSUC and Ventures

The MSUC was created through Venture Lab. “Lab” means a group of ventures that do not fear failure and make various and experimental attempts.

This means that the MSUC follows the development model of Silicon Valley venture companies. It also means that the MSUC will, in the future, take a strategy that follows the development norms of venture companies together with various investors and strategic partners.

Ventures can, in many ways, explain why they exist. Among them, we can view ventures from the perspective of “solving the society’s structural problems through technology, ideas, and creativity.”

By always asking what social and structural problems the MSUC can solve as PFP’s collectibles, our team has created this collection.

While MSUCs will serve as a basic PFP status, it is clearly investment for those who have paid for a PFP, regardless of the investment amount. Depending on the principle of supply and demand and the brand value of MSUCs, the public may own, buy, sell, or exchange MSUCs with each other.

When you trade MSUCs with each other in the market by using money, their price will be formed naturally. With such a transparent trading environment, it can be anticipated that the MSUC will have a constant value with a certain balance point.

If a PFP you always carry and act as an identification on your behalf can also have an asset character, it can be said that such a PFP has a foundation for being more loved by the public and lasting longer.

The MSUC and the Community

The MSUC is a kind of collaborative community culture that we create together. Originally, a community starts with an individual and is created over time when individuals who share the culture come together one by one. And this community forms its own cultural code and has its own spiritual and material values.

The MSUC will also inherit the attributes of the community that mankind has always had. However, the difference is that by adding NFTs and PFPs to the existing unique properties of community activities, the scope of this community will be expanded, the fellowship will be strengthened, enabling various community activities of larger or smaller units. In addition, impromptu meetings will be possible, and more sophisticated events can be conducted through P2P-style member authentication through NFT.

And, the biggest difference is, if you are lucky, that the value of the first PFP acquired through casual interest will have an asset value, big or small. This can be said to be a small reward for those who are relatively hard-working community members for diligently strengthening fellowship and maintaining the community.

The MSUC and the Blockchain

With the publication of the Bitcoin white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 and the successful issuance of Bitcoins in 2009, it can be said that the blockchain technology has been recognized for its technical completeness.

The blockchain technology has achieved an innovative new technological development by combining the digital signature and encryption technology with the existing P2P (peer-to-peer) technology. In addition, the so-called “proof of work (PoW)” method, which is decentralized and allows the community to jointly operate a technological platform, has been introduced, and is supported by cryptocurrency as a means of reward for such contributors. Through this, the PoW method has become a sustainable technological, economic and social system.

Whereas the previous system had to be invested and maintained by someone from the center, the blockchain technology can be compared to a kind of autonomous driving technology and a social and cultural platform, created by the contribution of each individual participating in the community.

The MSUC is a PFP that exists on top of the blockchain technology. Therefore, the MSUC will utilize all the technical benefits listed above, and the MSUC inherits the character and philosophy of the blockchain technology.

The MSUC and the Token economy

The token economy is an economic system to which so-called game theory and behavioral economics are applied. The public is basically driven by their own interests. In other words, it is one of the attributes of people to actively participate in any way when it is beneficial to them, but to reject it when it is detrimental. The MSUC is a kind of a token. It is a kind of token whether it is an NFT or an FT, non-fungible or fungible.

Owning this token means owning it and owning it will have value, and one can expect that anyone will hope the tokens they own to have greater value. If this consensus is formed among the token holders in the community, the community is more likely to continue to develop in the direction of increasing the value of the token.

This can be said to be similar to the way a country or society strives together, dreaming of coexistence and co-prosperity for all. However, the main difference is that, the existing development system is a structure in which the fruits of the development are distributed during the development process or after development, whereas in a token economy system such as the MSUC, each individual carries, from the very beginning, the fruit resulting from the system, from the time at which this fruit has a very small value, and contributes to the development of the community.

One of the many problems mankind has faced has been the so-called “inequity of distribution.” In other words, although we have made some progress with our efforts, there has been an injustice in distribution due to inevitable structural defects when sharing the fruits. This has led to social conflicts, and various dichotomous confrontations and conflicts such as discord between classes, the polarization, confrontation between the strong and the weak, exploitation and domination, control and being controlled, etc.

This phenomenon can be said to be a kind of “tragedy of the commons” which occurs because all living things, and humans, who are one of all living things, inevitably have to be selfish in order to survive.

The blockchain technology and the token economy, where the MSUC exists, will not be able to solve these social and structural deficiencies at once. Nevertheless, if the owners of the MSUC are engaged in community activities together, it is hoped that small successes will help solve these problems that mankind has been facing.

The MSUC and the Mainnet

The mainnet is a blockchain-based information system infrastructure. Each mainnet has its own characteristics and provides an economic system by issuing a key currency that supports the mainnet.

The MSUC chose the Ethereum blockchain. The reason for choosing it is because, as some people are worried, the Ethereum has a high so-called gas fee, but for several reasons, it is judged that it is suitable for the strategy the MSUC is pursuing.

First, the Ethereum is the oldest and most verified mainnet after Bitcoin. Although the transaction speed is slow and the gas fee is high, it is the mainnet with the highest reliability thanks to the stable security and transparent information disclosure support.

Second, all assets on Ethereum are basically denominated in a cryptocurrency called Ether (ETH). This is the same as all assets are denominated in the USD in the US, the yuan in China, and the euro in Europe. In the real economy, the USD is still recognized as the most stable currency in value. Currently, although the prices of cryptocurrencies fluctuate heavily, it is notable that very few cryptocurrencies have a stable value as the Ethereum has.

Third, the fluctuations in the value of the Ethereum are linked with the value of the MSUC. In other words, the token currency of the MSUC you own is the Ethereum. For example, even if the price of the MSUC you own remains the same, the value may change due to fluctuations in the Ethereum price. Therefore, when considering the value of NFTs, it is necessary to choose an NFT not only by looking at its current price, but also by keeping in mind that the mainnet where the NFT exists and the future of the token currency. In the end, it is determined that the mainnet that will continue to exist in the future, is relatively stable, and that can continue to develop is Ethereum. Of course, we expect various mainnets to appear in the future, and it is not necessary to rule out the possibility that the MSUC will exist on more diverse mainnets in future seasons.

The MSUC and the DAO

The DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) is a new concept that has been in the spotlight with the rise of the blockchain technology. In fact, even before the DAO, there were various autonomous organizations in our society. In addition to such autonomous movement, as the aforementioned blockchain technologies are combined, the DAO is a concept that can be operated very effectively and economically by setting an agreed reward and penalty system after all people connected based on P2P set a specific mission.

In fact, being able to achieve something with a DAO is not easy. This is because there are many and complex elements that must be predetermined for the DAO to work properly.

The MSUC is basically aiming for a DAO based on the token economy. In other words, it is judged that the DAO can be activated through already generalized and familiar activity experiences, where these experiences include transparent owner verification, supporting voluntary owner-to-owner community activities, open prices, transparent transactions, publicizing activities and sharing them on social networks.

In fact, the areas where the DAO can be applied are very diverse and difficult to predict. As there are potential benefits that can be obtained from the DAO, the MSUC expects that a successful DAO will eventually emerge through trial and error and by experimenting with the DAO through various challenges.

The MSUC is the beginning of an evolving giant platform.

Starting with this season, new seasons will be announced in the future.

As mentioned earlier, the MSUC is a kind of contemporary culture and the beginning of a media code.

Through successive subsequent seasons, the MSUC will realize the strategic goals of the DAO one by one.

The MSUC and Campaigns

“I Love Earth”

“I Love the Universe”

The aforementioned sentences are the basic themes linked to the MSUC’s birth story.

There are countless things we need to do to protect our precious planet. The problems of protecting the Earth’s own ecosystems, such as natural disasters, global warming, nature conservation and life protection, have also reached a serious level.

For the people living in this Earth, life is getting more complicated and difficult due to war, hunger, religious conflicts, cultural confrontation, economic war, supremacy, currency war, racism, non-marriageism, low birth rates, etc.

Due to human selfishness and their instinct for self-preservation, the gap between the rich and the poor, economic hardship, social isolation, temptation to greed and deviance, corruption and debauchery, freedom and reckless bravado, and human desire for unlimited creativity, the Earth is becoming a hot furnace.

While many people are questioning whether the Earth can continue to exist, there is also the affirmation that the people of the Earth will work together to respond to and overcome this global crisis wisely.

Humans are now opening the prelude to various experiments, conquests, and wars in space over the Earth, the Moon, the Mars, and the universe beyond. It is expected that the space age will soon continue the history of conflict in the Earth as it is.

The MSUC, with good intentions, intends to conduct various campaigns to make the Earth and its people better-natured and to transform the Earth into a peaceful and comfortable space to live together in.

Furthermore, the MSUC, through the MSUC’s space stories, aims to teach us to know the value of space before we advance into space. The MSUC aims to make sure that future generations know that the universe is not something to be conquered, but another planet to love and preserve like the Earth.

The MSUC hopes to give people in the Earth a new perspective on the universe, through various campaigns, events, and literary products that weave the metaverse and the astronaut story together.
