GM Cryptonauts. Today's collector spotlight is dedicated to the great @Warneverchang Huge thanks for supporting being part of the community 🫂 🎤 What first got you into collecting NFTs? Curiosity about new blockchain technology, combined with the fact that I've always loved collectibles! 🎤 How long have you been collecting NFTs? Only recently, since 2025. I was already aware of NFTs before, but I never really considered getting into them because they started on Ethereum with crazy high gas fees. Once they arrived on the Cronos chain, I jumped in—and now here I am! 🎤 What is your favorite or most meaningful NFT in your collection and why? That's a tough question to answer because, as a collector, I don't really have a single favorite. I find them all beautiful, and each one has its own unique charm and story behind it. However, if I had to pick the one that means the most to me, I'd say Legend Awakened. It was my very first real entry into the NFT space on Cronos. I absolutely love the artwork and the community behind it, and I feel the artist is creating something that Cronos was really missing! 🎤 Do you have a specific strategy when it comes to buying or holding NFTs? When it comes to buying, my main rule is simple: if I like the art, I buy it. However, I also look into the project's utility and the team behind it—I've learned the hard way that it's always wise to double-check these things! As for holding, since I'm a true collector at heart, I hate selling my NFTs. I'm very possessive over my collection! 🎤 What's the rarest or most valuable piece you currently own? To me, value isn't just about floor prices or market rarity ranks—it's also deeply tied to personal meaning. Beyond holding some rare pieces from my favorite collections, the most valuable NFTs to me are the ones that allow for personal expression. For instance, being able to mint my own unique piece through custom features like Crovia OG, without having to launch an entire collection, holds immense value for me. Having something truly unique and personal in my wallet is priceless! 🎤 Can you tell us a little about yourself? I'm a 43-year-old from Northern Italy working as a logistics specialist for a multinational company. In my personal life, I love collecting cool things, reading comics and manga, and music—I'm actually a self-taught DJ. Oh, and I also have a huge passion for "greenery" 🌿😉 🎤 What are your main hobbies or interests when you're not in the crypto space? When I'm not in crypto, my top priority is spending quality time with my partner and our two awesome cats. Besides that, I love mixing tracks as a self-taught DJ, diving into comics and manga, traveling, and hitting up music festivals. Oh, and enjoying my passion for "nature" and greenery 🌿. Just living life to the fullest! 🎤 How did you first discover cryptocurrency or NFTS? I first discovered cryptocurrencies back in 2010, but I was young and spending money on music festivals sounded way more fun than investing! As for NFTs, I first saw a bit about them online around 2019, but I really got into them in 2021 through the Crypto.com app and Loaded Lions. 🎤 What's the biggest lesson you've learned during your time in crypto/NFTs? You never stop learning. Even when you think you know the space inside out, scammers and traps are always lurking around the corner. So, the biggest lesson I've learned is to stay humble and keep learning every single day. 🎤 What's your favorite thing about being part of the NFT community? At the end of the day, we are all small investors tied to the same project. Whether it's because we love collectibles, want to make some money, or simply appreciate owning a piece of digital art, we all share a common goal. We work together to help a project grow. Honestly, if we applied this same collective mindset to real life, the world would be a much better place to live! 🎤 If you could give one piece of advice to someone who is just starting to collect NFTs, what would it be? Do your own research before diving into a new collection, and always follow your passion—after all, that's why you're in the NFT space. Most importantly: never invest more than you are willing to lose!

Collector's Spotlight 🎙️ Today the legend himself! @Daltonecleus 🎤 What first got you into collecting NFTs? I dont really know. Just seen some cool art and started to buy. 🎤 How long have you been collecting NFTs? I started in 2016-2017ish, but after moving and other things, I lost my seed phrase. Then I was out of the NFT game for a long time until the beginning of 2025 and that is when Istumbled upon cronos chain. Now here we are. 🎤 What is your favorite or most meaningful NFT in your collection and why? I dont know that I have a "favorite" per say. They all are meaningful in one way or another. 🎤 Do you have a specific strategy when it comes to buying or holding NFTs? I usually just buy what Ilike. Of course some I buy in hopes to make some money, but im a addict at heart. So, for me, if i see it, i like it, i try to buy it. & (Investment, art appreciation, community, long-term belief, etc.) 🎤 What's the rarest or most valuable piece you currently own? I guess my most valuable piece would be my Loaded Lion. 🎤 Can you tell us a little about yourself? Im from a little town in the southern half of the United States. Not much going on here. I work as a panel operator at a feed mill. Which really means sitting behind a desk clicking buttons unless something goes wrong. 🎤 What are your main hobbies or interests when you're not in the crypto space? My main hobbies, are fishing, gaming, and chilling with my family. Having a good barbecue, enjoying the outdoors in a hike. Just living life to the fullest that I can. 🎤 How did you first discover cryptocurrency or NFTS? I discovered them by some artist I had seen on TikTok, he was making them, even before Bored Apes, or Crypto Punks were a thing. 🎤 What's the biggest lesson you've learned during your time in crypto/NFTs? Not everything is as it seems, actually its usually not. There are good people in this space, but you have to watch out for bad eggs. Kind of like everything we do in life I guess. 🎤 What's your favorite thing about being part of the NFT community? l've made several what I would call friends, from all over the world, that with out being in many different NFT communities I would never know. If you could give one piece of advice to someone who is just starting to collect NFTs, what would it be? Buy what you like, but spend the money knowing you may never get it back.
