How It Might Go

Thanks to these types of people, something big could happen. Here's who they are:

Mavens

These are individuals who have a deep knowledge and expertise in a particular area, and are often the first to discover and share new information. They are highly trusted and respected in their community and are driven by a desire to help others. Mavens are often responsible for starting word-of-mouth epidemics by sharing information with their extensive network of contacts.

I can't think of another besides @aubtoshi at the moment, but Rhett's first 50 also fit here. She's held spaces rallying the community in public and giving members the forum to communicate about their roles and connection to all this.

Connectors

These are individuals who have a wide and diverse social network and are skilled at bringing people together. They have the ability to cross social boundaries and connect people who might not otherwise meet. Connectors are often key influencers in their communities and are able to spread ideas and trends rapidly by leveraging their social connections.

Maybe you know a connector who inspired you to check out $TURBO? I consider them anyone with large followings or platforms by which they communicate. I noticed @theshayshow, for example. Recently, @Deeze has expressed interest in us and our story, but how could I leave out @defidami.

I'm also doing my best to connect my network to this developing story, since writing, current events in crypto and imagery have been my vocation since '17.

Salespeople

These are individuals who have the ability to persuade others to take action. They are charismatic, confident, and skilled at convincing others to buy into an idea or product. Salespeople are often critical in getting an idea to "tip" by convincing others to adopt it and spread it to their own networks.

I could also call other Twitter accounts salesmen, because their word-of-mouth certainly has influenced people to look into this. I think that in crypto, snake oil salesmen describe those pitching empty promises with financial speculation, but what's being sold here with Rhett? Freedom. Inspiration. Beauty. Expression. Resilience. I have no expectations other than magnifying Rhett's story might have the most unexpected outcome.

Ever notice how lines form outside crowded restaurants? Or, how people cop the latest footwear once they see a celebrity wear them? Truth is, people are driven by social proof, as context for their own decisions. Seeing other actions or trends as a certain norm inspires our action, to an extent.

That's why, I particularly don't speculate on price. However, I have a strong conviction the narrative of Rhett overcoming through sheer creative wit could really grab some attention. Many within the community combat fear, uncertainty and doubt with humor, vulnerability, and memes. It invites everyone to let go of expectations and enjoy some of the amenities of art; self-expression, understanding and communication.
