## Rationale ๐ค
***"Here to save the Metaverse"***
So many projects promise to innovate within the space, promise to afford brilliant things to their communities. Yet it seems this deliverance of great things is a rarity, almost never happens and when it does is often short lived or fuelled by a momentary hype.
It is these negative characteristics that have forced the market into recent disillusion and have disenfranchised real investors from a supposed decentralised market and forced an *anxious* market, almost entirely fixated on exchange-value over use-value.
In-turn, the lines between a lottery ticket and an NFT PFP have become blurred, almost indistinguishable in the face of community deception followed by market saturation; where the greatly increased mass of participants has produced a change in the mode of participation.
TSC is dedicated to helping redefine the space and innovating its investors wealth by affording a **Phygital** commodity which possesses truly high use value. (Trafficking an even higher exchange value)
#### What is "Use-Value"?
Use value is a concept in Marxist economics which refers to the tangible features of a commodity which can satisfy some human requirement, want or need, or which serves a useful purpose. Use value (to be called utility) is something that has become a scarcity in the NFT spaceโฆUntil now.
#### What is "Phygital"?
Phygital is the concept of using technology to bridge the digital world with the physical world with the purpose of providing a unique interactive experiences for the user.
