The Birth of Ami’s Cats
Amelia, a nine-year-old Polish dynamo with a knack for creativity, stumbled into the world of NFTs and, believe it or not, she’s been making quite a splash! With her charming imagination and a penchant for all things feline, she and her dad, Marcin, decided to join forces in a project artistic enough to melt the heart of any cat lover.
Parenting in the Digital Age
So, what’s the secret sauce behind their success? Marcin describes their approach to parenting as a method of “learning by doing” rather than just cracking open textbooks. They swapped typical parenting nuggets for practical life lessons rooted in the volatile, yet exciting, world of technology and finance.
From Interest to NFT Collection
Initially, Amelia’s interest sparked when Marcin, a self-proclaimed entrepreneur with a strong background in design, showcased his own NFT collection. Instead of just viewing pictures, the duo rolled up their sleeves and launched their own. Thus, in August 2021, Ami’s Cats came to life – a vibrant collection of 200 unique feline NFTs that caught the eyes (and hearts) of collectors everywhere.
A Community with a Cause
Beyond just trading cards, Ami and her team pledged to donate 30% of their royalties to cat rescue charities. So far, they’ve donated around $2,000—a sum that proves even the littlest innovators can pack a big punch! And when the Ukrainian conflict knocked on their door, the family didn’t hesitate to support kids escaping from danger, showing that empathy can accompany entrepreneurship.
The Future of Ami’s Cats
Ami is already plotting the next chapter with Ami’s Cats v2. The plan? Engage more children by involving them in coloring templates they can customize. Who knew NFTs could double as a coloring book? The aim is to teach and inspire creativity while letting kids bask in the shade of the crypto tree. This is not just art; it’s a budding artistic revolution.
