A few hours back as previously espoused, a Telegram group was formed (t.me/ShinkoCommune) to discuss the otherwise unimportant matters of where what why. A merry band of knowledgeable and informed individuals have come forth to participate in the initiative. Already the discussions are engaging, thought provoking, and enlightening. How I wish that all the other groups I frequent, some unwillingly, were to display this form of innovation oriented thought process that is stimulating and at the same time significant to the incubation of this socio-technological experiment.

Shinko has at the outset sought to be an amalgamation of one of the most basic and positive of human emotions (faith), with cutting edge technology that is the Blockchain. An intertwined mingling of sorts, put forth not as much by choice as by desire and a fervent belief in the need for altruistic technical excellence at the forefront of it all.

To that effect a website has been fashioned. While somewhat arbitrary in its meagre output, one hopes that the underlying message is still able to cut through. My earlier devious plan of lifting off of Apple did not bear fruit. As usual one train of thought led to another and without reinventing the wheel I set out to seek objects that best outline where this is heading, and how we may get there yet.

There has not been much utilization of text. There are enough webs with lofty promises and 1 year roadmaps brimming with hyperbole that are binned within 2 weeks of the charts demise. Being a connoisseur of visually immersive concepts that allow the mind to wander and process, I have made an insignificant attempt to carve a similar trajectory with the Shinko Web in the hope that it is easy to understand yet an enjoyable “read” at the same time.

If you prefer to have out of the box discourses away from the humdrum of daily pumps, feel free to drop into the Shinko Commune TG, being a holder is preferable, but not imperative.

If this is your first reading, it is highly recommended to read Part 1 outlined above, in order to truly grasp the underlying sentiment behind the need for Shinko.

There was some delay in my relaying the current piece, as I have been otherwise preoccupied with babysitting one of my other projects that had the good fortune of crossing the coveted million dollar market capitalization, making it to the hallowed (insert heavy dose of sarcasm here) portals of CoinGecko and CoinMarketcap. One assumes that the typical sell the news sentiment will prevail over there, rendering most of the hard work incomplete in pursuit of temporary and instant gratification instead of the logical, practical, and more difficult concept of seeing it through to the next few levels higher as a collective force thereby resulting in much larger and sizeable gains. However I digress again.

While it might be news to some, maybe unfathomable to few, perhaps inconsequential to most, it remains a fact that it is frighteningly easy to plant seeds that bear fruit. Crypto as a universe is no different than a hastily pieced together land mass. One with lush gardens and deep forests, interspersed with barren lands and arid deserts. It only matters what one decides to plant and where.

An idea is a seed, germination is the result of many hands working together to continue upward momentum. The Shinko collective, seeks to build a multi chain ecosystem that is interoperable, incentivized, self sufficient, giving, and above all a source of belonging, to anyone who is part of the collective.

The DAO will remain responsible for governance matters while inner workings bear fruit. There are many issues with Crypto today that require fixing, Shinko will try to bridge the gap wherever possible, to the extent that the community embraces it. The opportunities abound, it is but a matter of tapping into them. The most critical component of this, is the Shinko holder.

Absent faith, a collective is just numbers. Embrace the whole, then become one.

On my part, I did what I could to ensure that no one from my inner circle, or otherwise, was privy to this project, it being closest to my vision of what I want to do in this space. Meagre amount of ETH was added to the LP, with the expectation that those with Shinko will add to it and reap the benefits of the volume that 0 tax token trading brings with it, I hope more are able to join and enjoy the benefits themselves while we build the next phase.

It has been an eventful and at the same time mundane 12 hours, the seed remains firmly planted. 140 now have Shinko.

As I woke up today and decided to put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, more appropriately, a single thought swept through my consciousness, what does the world lack most today, clean water and food security for everyone aside? Is there an underlying doom gene permeating through us all. Are we condemned to a lifetime of subjugation, to our jobs, our social mores, our religion, our peer pressure, our socio-economic responsibilities, our legislations and our dalliances?

Is there a deeper voice of reason that is trying to reach out to us unbeknownst, while we wait for father time to call us when we exhaust our earthly presence? There probably is, else there would be no smiling faces, no cheer and happiness, and most certainly no forms of recreation. To go back to the original thought, what the world lacks most today, is plain and simple Faith. A sense of belief. A separation from the humdrum worries that we all carry on our broken backs as we trudge through this journey called life. A little faith can go a long way. Whether split second before a car accident, leading to the right reflexes, or while answering a tough question in an examination not suffering from brain freeze, or sprinting off the line in the finals of the Olympics. What separates the achievers, the happy, the content, the responsible, from the also rans, is a little faith.

The sources are myriad, the outcome is the same. Faith in god or faith in ones abilities, or in each other, or in nature, or in your lucky charm, can all herald positive tidings depending on ones disposition in times of distress, or even otherwise.

The Faith project seeks to restore a sense of belonging and positivity to the much maligned crypto space.

More details to follow in future discourses. See you on the other side.

Keep the Faith.
