The DeGods X+ Manifesto
We are so early. Yet we have arrived on a stage that we alone have defined for ourselves: The manifestation of the maximum potential of being a DeGod.
We shall continue to carve out the upper echelon of what it means to live our best lives together, enjoying the fruits of conviction, sacrifice, focus and determination.
We shall hold each other accountable, and do so with grace; each of us helping the other become better men and women within the community, and beyond.
We shall not chase the pace and grind of Web3. Instead we move at the speed of X+, characterized by balance, health, well-being and longevity. Both the longevity of our members, and the longevity of our club well into the future.
The Veblen gates through which one must pass to be in our club, will become narrower over time. Curating a collection of ten DeGods is only the first gate, but it will not be the last. There will be many along the way.
We will continue to align our vision with that of DeGods. We were born through that crucible and we will honor that provenance. We will remain degenerates. We will remain Gods. Our journey traverses only Bitfrost. Our final resting place will always be Valhalla and no other.
We are not bound to the confines of NFTs, web3 nor even technology’s promise for a better world. We are not bound by any paradigm or meta other than that which we define for ourselves. DeGods is the alchemy of Art, Culture, Community, and Technology. X+, then, shall be the polish of that new metal. The shine. The eternal glimmer of attraction, for those who crave access to the ultimate experience.
Image, brand and exclusivity alone will never be enough. We shall manifest beyond these facades, into face to face encounters, shared experiences, adventures, empowerment of one another, and celebrations. An X+ member will always be able to look another member in the eyes, and see the earnest appreciation and pride of belonging. Of living this X+ life together.
A parent’s number one responsibility of a child is to create positive memories never to be forgotten. Experiences that define who they grow up to be, and how they identify themselves. X+ shall always strive to be the guardian of DeGods, so that all DeGods around the world always know exactly who they are, why they belong, and what they aspire to along their journey.
We are in a position of responsibility. It was not assigned to us. We choose this responsibility, and we adore it. Humility, and servitude towards one another, are our secret powers.
We don’t have diamond hands for HODL’s sake. Instead our hands are meant to forge the diamond that is X+.
We shall always remember that the “+” in our name isn’t a math symbol of ‘more than’. Rather it is life-long symbol of being ‘more than’ we ever could alone as individuals.
We are X+. We are DeGods. This is our manifesto.
