CryptoCitizens & Bright Moments Community –
Our project was designed for completion.
Three years, ten cities, and ten thousand on-chain CryptoCitizens. That's what we are focused on accomplishing.
Everything else — the market, the price, the hype — is just noise. We don't expect everyone to get it, but the ones who do understand the importance of what we've set out to achieve.
Good thing too, because we can't do it alone. Thanks to everyone who has been part of our journey.
