GM everyone! So I wanted to do a mini showcase on one of my favorite traits from the Strange Connections Collection.

This is the third rarest eye trait in the collection although I feel it should be the rarest considering where it comes from and the lore behind it.

Trait: Strangest Eyes

Why is this one my favorite? well it's one of the three great Dojutsu from the anime Naruto. A few of the characters in the show wield it but I am not going into detail on the show. Do absolutely take some time to watch that anime as I highly recommend it but again I am here to talk about it as a trait within Strange Connections.

Per Narutopedia the Rinnegan's lore is this, "It is said that in times of disorder, one who wields the Rinnegan is sent down from the heavens to become either a "God of Creation" who will calm the world or a "God of Destruction" who will reduce everything to nothingness."

Lets break down the above quote, so Strangest Eyes or the Rinnegan have the ability to create or destroy. I am going to lean more on the creation side and how it relates to the collection and the NFT space. Web3 is full of get rich quick projects (aka rugs) and other such activities that tend to drive new users away from the space. This makes it hard for those in the space to on board new members, well SC, the project as a whole is one of the few projects wanting to change that. 

I think this trait relates very very well to SC's goals and vision of creating a safe space for everyone and bring attention to mental health awareness not only via it's diehard members/holders but to the rest of the web3 community and beyond. Creating is something we all do whether it's creating new relationships or creating a platform for those relationships to grow. 

Creating is key and I think we all have a little bit of the Rinnegan inside us. How we choose to wield it defines our place in web3.
