Preamble

The observation.

The project is unveiled. Our project. The Psycho Tree. To understand their stories, we must first look at the changes that are taking place every day in our universe. We are destroying the environment in which we live, we are cutting down trees, polluting rivers, the earth is becoming gangrenous wherever man sets foot. Is it man's fault or has the system he created been corrupted? The institutions that govern our actions are ageing, they are run by a rotting ecosystem that we are trying to save by wasting huge amounts of money to keep its head above water. We are tired of watching this cycle repeat itself over and over again. Until a bunch of anarchist punk, working on a completely autonomous decentralised currency system. BitCoin, since then, the internet has done the rest creating its own world, its own culture, which rewards the most involved, a way to evolve without going through the traditional hierarchies rotten by toxic managers, and morons. Everyone has their own voice and their own way out of the system. Technologies have improved and the world they offer is more and more tangible. The big institutions are forced to give in to it, to give in to it in a bad way. People are organising to turn the system against those who created it. The strike force seems unstoppable.

An unstoppable tsunami.

The strength and weakness of our 2.0 system is its ability to bring together people with different and rich skills and cultures. Alone, you can't do anything, just swallow your frustration, laugh about it, point it out. But together. Together is where the real strength of the human being lies. Gamestop, does that ring a bell? What can a trader do to get back at an obsolete banking system? Nothing. But if he gets enough people together. The bank falls, cowering under the attack of a group of individuals. The mainstream system has its flaws, and if we want to change it there is only one solution. The time for cries and offended comments is over, it's a sweet joke that some people make it sound self-righteous. Fuck them. We have the brains, the scope, the technology. We just need to get enough people together to make it change.

The beginning of the project.

Our story starts with a common desire to reforest. The environments around us are visually destroyed by farmland, ugly buildings. The woods we knew are being replaced by supermarket car parks. Animals are forced to confine themselves to small patches of land, wandering into rubbish bins to find food. We are destroying the environment around us. We are exposed to ecological disasters every day. We want to rebuild a healthy, living place.

The strategy

Living trees have many benefits, the first of which is to transform carbon dioxide into oxygen. Think of it as free electricity for a human being, without these atoms it is impossible to live. Unfortunately, they are worthless from a financial point of view. That's why companies and governments cut them down, because dead, the tree become a supplier of material, wood. For this to be sustainable, we need to plant as many trees as we cut down. Well, that's not happening. So we are taking away resources without creating new ones. It doesn't take a genius to realise that at some point there will be none left. What if instead of making humans feel guilty, we give them an exciting reason to participate in the protection of the forests ?

By creating a story. With its own codes, its own language a demonstration on how an imaginary legend will serve the real world. An universe in which people can lose themselves, translated visually by NFTs. The Psycho Tree.
