I have been involved in\nthe crypto space since 2012 or so when I realized what was happening with\nbitcoin and Silk Road.&nbsp; What initially\nsparked my interest was the privacy and anti-censorship properties that crypto provided.&nbsp; It wasn\u2019t until much later that\ncryptocurrencies as a long-term investment became my focus&#8230;which is\nunfortunate for me!&nbsp; I held lots of\nreally cheap bitcoin, but was spending it anywhere I could because I believed\nthat people needed to use it as peer-to-peer electronic cash if we wanted to\nsee mass adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My role in\nAcidheadz is creative director.&nbsp; I have a\ndecade of experience in design and music production and was approached by a\ncrypto-specific design house called Yung Crypto Media to join their roster as\nan artist\/creative director.&nbsp; The\nLysergic Labs crew approached my employer about handling the creative direction\nfor shroomz (and then kept us on board for Acidheadz) and it was pretty much an\nimmediate yes.&nbsp; We liked the vibe of the\nteam and are big supporters of the responsible use of psychedelics by competent\nadults, so it was a no brainer for us to hop onto this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Wow! so you bought the pizza for\nbitcoin &#x1f602;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jonah <\/strong><strong>&#x1f3c5;&#x1f3b9;<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>&#x1f605;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>This is incredible! you are an early\nbird!

What is the essence of Shroomz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>We were all wrong &#8230; Yet we are\nstill in the early stages of mass adoption. And we have many chances ahead &#x2764;&#xfe0f;&#x1f60d;&#x1f680;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paul StametsHat: <\/strong>Acidheadz is the second drop from Lysergic Labs\nand \u201cPhase Two\u201d on the shroomz roadmap.&nbsp;\nThe team\u2019s idea with shroomz was to create a deflationary nft that would\nact as the currency in the Lysergic Labs ecosystem. The first order of business\nwas to create a really high quality drop that stood out from a crowded space\nand so we created shroomz &#8211; which is a 3D-animated nft with custom music.&nbsp; We wanted to do something different than all\nthe static PFP drops that were coming out and so doing 3D animation and having\nmusicians compose custom music seemed like a really fun way to do it and it\nseems to have resonated with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acidheadz\nis similar except the animation is way more intricate and the music is much\nmore high quality and just better imo.&nbsp;\nWe also synced the animation with the music, so it looks really\npro!&nbsp; The point here is to create another\nreally high quality drop that can be minted by burning shroomz.&nbsp; This is the krux of the deflationary aspect\nof shroomz.&nbsp; Shroomz holders can burn\nshroomz to mint new drops at a significant discount to the ether mint\nprice.&nbsp; You can mint an Acidheadz for\n0.69 eth&#8230;or by burning one shroomz! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPhase\nThree\u201d of the shroomz roadmap is ShroomDAO where holders will get to decide on\nthe direction and roadmap of the project including some specifics on the future\nutility of Acidheadz as well as design of future Lysergic Labs drops. It is our\ngoal to have a very engaged community that can actually dictate the direction\nof the project to a large degree.&nbsp;\nBasically, we want to give our community access to all the artists,\nmusicians, and devs we have at our disposal and let them decide what we\ndo.&nbsp; This just seems so much more fun\nthan a team telling the community whats next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>agree! you are making a very high\nquality product. Please tell us about the team who helps to bring this to life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Who is on the project team core?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paul StametsHat: <\/strong>So, as I mentioned, I work for Yung Crypto\nMedia.&nbsp; This is a design house that\ncaters to the crypto space.&nbsp; They work\nwith teams to design tokens and NFTs, do branding work, build websites,\nrepresent artists and act as a management company, etc.&nbsp; When Lysergic Labs was just starting out,\nthey approached Yung Crypto Media with an idea and a small team.&nbsp; Yung Crypto Media then worked within its\nroster of artists, coders, musicians, etc. to fill out the team and get things\nstarted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first\nthing they set up was assigning me as creative director and linked me up with\nthe very first dev, called Shiitake.&nbsp; We\nset about getting the artwork\/music and python development together so that we\ncould randomly generate these NFTs from a pool of attributes.&nbsp; I went after some amazing artists and\nmusicians that produced the incredible content for these drops.&nbsp; Could not be prouder of the work that they\ndid.&nbsp; We love our artists!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, they\nsorted us with a beast of a blockchain dev that does all the contracts for\nus.&nbsp; They have written quite a few really\nsolid contracts for some pretty big projects over the years.&nbsp; We are basically able to come up with a basic\nidea of what we need and this dev makes it a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also\nhave a pair of front end devs that do fantastic work.&nbsp; They build the websites and the web3\nintegration.&nbsp; They designed the beautiful\nwww.acidheadz.cool website that shows the graphical display of the shroomz in\nyour wallet.&nbsp; They made it so that the\nburn process is super efficient, easy to use, and looks really slick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we\nhave a marketing and promotional team that makes sure people know what we are\nup to.&nbsp; They get the word out so that we\nare able to be successful with our drops.&nbsp;\nIn fact, they set this AMA up for me!&nbsp;\nThey are also responsible for a lot of the partnerships we have with\nsome big influencers as well as designing all the amazing graphics, videos,\netc. that you see in our announcements and on our socials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last\npiece of the puzzle is the advisors and the partners we have on board.&nbsp; These are some giants in the NFT space and\nall of them are very knowledgeable and super connected.&nbsp; We would not be where we are today without\nthem.&nbsp; We are eternally grateful for\ntheir support and direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Wow!
