Rumor has it that the Cloud Niner NFT Collection is the vision of Satoshi's 2nd cousin (or 3rd, we don't know. It's just a rumor).
The Hangar — Where it All Begins
THE LEGEND
The Legend Of Cloud Niners follows the evolutionary tale of Satoshi Nakamoto's 2nd Cousin (Call Sign: Boomship), an insecure kid from the middle of flyover country that grew up to be an eccentric billionaire whose life's purpose is helping others find their own sense of community and experience cool shit. Boomship's epic globetrotting adventures and love of flight make him a hard guy to keep up with. Think National Treasure, but with big f*cking jets and a secret flight log.
So buckle up, grab the oh shit handle, and get ready to blast off in style to whatever planet or metaverse your little heart desires.
The Hangar — All Time High (ATH) Airliners
The artwork
A unique collection of artists pulled from … well, no one really knows yet. (If you’ve read The Legend, then you get it). Regardless, they’ve created a photo-real, 3D-animated NFT series inspired by a number of unique aircraft. The collection is built in Unreal Engine and animated on an infinite loop to fly high and far. There’s a big future for this collection, so you may just need to HODL to see what we have in store.
Don’t worry, you can keep your fav blue chip project right where it is as your profile pic and park the high-resolution animated Cloud Niners artwork proudly as the Profile Banner Pic on your favorite social media platform.

THE COMMUNITY
This is where you come in after a long flight or prep for your next one. We’re a network of dreamers and doers, so we want our community to contribute to how this world evolves. Boomship’s story isn’t just about him - it's about all of us.
Be sure to check back in often because there will be many ways that hodlers can affect Boomship’s journey. So, sit back, put your feet up, connect with your fellow Cloud Niners and let’s build this story together.

Brand Executive Lounge
THE NETWORK
It’s no secret that in business, you have to put the right people in the room to get the deal done. Lucky for us, The Boomship knows a thing or two about being in the right place at the right time, even when it's not an actual room. Through luck or fate, he’s assembled a crew that loves to make things happen.
Translation: Are you a creator, artist or brand who’s interested in working with Cloud Niners and The Boomship’s insane legacy? The Brand Executive Lounge is your portal to a brand-safe (but with a little bit of an edge) platform where companies, artists, and influencers can participate in an NFT project without the massive costs associated with launching their own collection.
*Insider knowledge tells us that certain brand partners’ traits have already been hidden within the collection… Mimosas in front of the NASA VAB anyone? Don’t have to ask us twice!

THE FLIGHT PATH
This is what we have been waiting to show off the entire time!
“Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!”
-Doc
Every project either embraces a road map or laughs at the idea of having one. Fortunately for you, we have some pretty big ideas and roads just don't cut it.
We need a runway for where we're headed. Or in this case, a Big F%&k off yacht with a landing strip. Whether it's for Web3 .. or 5 .. or whatever is coming next, We're officially changing the term “Road Map” to “Flight Path.”

Team ATH
THE FLIGHT CREW
Cloud Niners is made up of a talented and hardworking team hand-picked by Satoshi's cousin himself. A group of developers, artists, social media managers, and marketing strategists are all working like crazy to help build this ambitious project to life.
Jonny Zeller - Founder
Call Sign: Eccentric Vegabond
Jonny and Boomship met in Korea. There’s a small dumpling restaurant in Seoul called “Jonny Dumpling” where the two happened to sit next to each other at the bar. It was one of those meetings where two people just click. It went beyond their mutual love for all types of dumplings and the shared tendency of having ridiculous travel stories. Jonny felt inspired by Boomship’s ambitions and his genuine enthusiasm for making an impact on the world.
Chris Garrison- Founder
Call Sign: FlashGarrison
Late night somewhere at the “end of the world” in Terra del Fuego, Chris was the last one of the crew still standing when he and Boomship first meet. They talked, drank champagne, ate gyoza, and maybe shot off some fireworks at 4am. They fist bumped and parted ways just before sunrise only to run into each other again at Raffle Long Bar in Singapore. A few mandatory Singapore Slings later and a visit to the remote village of Senggarang, they both bonded and continue to wake others up at 4am for absurd reasons around the world.
Tim Frazier - Creative Producer
Call Sign: JIMPT
Tim ran out of gas and didn’t have any cash on him. But he had heard of Satoshi Nakamoto, and so when he walked to a nearby gas station he told the cashier that Satoshi was his cousin, hoping the name drop would at least get him enough in the tank to hit the next town. The guy behind the counter was thrilled. Said Tim could fill it up - his treat. “Any friend of Satoshi.” A guy in line behind Tim smiled at the interaction, taking it all in. As Tim was getting back into his car, the guy came out and asked which side of the family he was on. Tim stuttered through a response, but the guy stopped him. “I really am Satoshi’s cousin. And I would have happily paid for your gas too. But hey, Satoshi’s the REAL breadwinner in the family… I’m just happy you’ll get where you need to be. Unless you wanna get there a little faster…” And that, my friends, is how it all began.
Chris McKinely - Head of Morale
Call Sign: McFurby
Chris paddled in to a gorgeous wave at Playa Colorado in Nicaragua and found himself stuck between two other surfers. Shit. Bailing wasn’t an option so all he could do was try to ride the barrel without getting run over by either of the others. The result was surreal, but somehow the three managed to ride safely within one barrel. Back on shore and high on adrenaline (or something else), the three introduced themselves only to find that Chris and Satoshi’s 2nd Cousin’s best friend shared the same surname. They still meet up and surf together sometimes, but nothing beats that first wave."
Patrick Mathis - Chief of Stuff No One Else Wants To Do
Call Sign: Patman
As is common on flights, Patrick found himself talking to a stranger in the adjacent seat, but their conversation was interrupted when Patrick noticed one of the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen sit down a few rows ahead next to an elderly man. Patrick’s seat neighbor Boomship, quickly formulated a plan. Patrick wasn’t normally one to take dating advice from a total stranger, but there he was approaching the elderly man seated next to his hopefully future girlfriend… "excuse me sir, would you mind if I sat with my sister?" Turns out the elderly man was the woman’s father...
Nelson Diaz - Web3 Captain
Call Sign: Woodchuck
One night after a particularly depressing workday, Nelson sat alone at one of LA’s best kept secret restaurants. Boomship came over to introduce himself since he and Nelson (Nelson is a master at navigating the LA food scene) had seen each other at various foodie spots around the city before. After some good laughs and even better food with Boomship, Nelson felt much more at peace with the challenges he faced at work. They still send each other restaurant recommendations. If you’re nice, they might share one with you.
Travis Wong - Consultant
Call Sign: JAM
While on vacation in Santorini, Travis’ need for an adrenaline rush brought him to a local cliff diving spot. A group of scared teenagers going to leave without jumping when Boomship stepped in with some tips for overcoming their fears. Even though he didn’t know any of them, Travis helped by adding some extra encouragement as spectators cheered from the boats below. 3..2...1! Boomship, Travis, and the group of kids all took the leap of faith together and splashed safely into the Aegean Sea.
Zev York - Art Creative Director
Call Sign: Wolf
Zev was in tearing it up in Zumba class and dropping the hottest moves you’ve ever seen. Or so he thought… Through the sweat and foggy mirror he noticed a mysterious man with undeniably superior ability. It was like he and the dance were seamlessly intertwined. After class, Zev felt that he needed to convey his respect so he walked over and complimented Boomship. Flattered and also secretly impressed with Zev’s moves, Boomship suggested they keep attending the same classes together. They’ve been dancing together ever since.
Eddie Vieyra & Joe Tarpy - Social Media Creative Directors
Call Sign: Lofoh & Tarpy
It was an early night in a city where no one would care to remember the name. In a dimly lit smoke-filled room Lofoh and Tarpy were shuffling cards and taking bets. Fast hands and conversation that would convince you the sky was yellow made these guys the perfect duo to sell ice to Eskimos. Boomship sat across the table, with a death stare of confidence you could see behind his dark sunglasses. He slammed down a sack of coins and said "SHUFFLE!". Once the cards were laid down, he stood up, took a shot of Tequila, and said "I'm no gambling man, I only invest in sure things." and walked away. That was all Lofoh and Tarpy needed to be convinced. They were onboard for whatever came after that.
Amanda Saaman - PR and Media Director @ Revolver PR
Call Sign: UP-STREAM
The lights shining brightly in her face, the roar of the crowd ringing in her ears, and the smell of nachos on her lap. Dodgers Stadium is quite the place. @#$%&! Then, a distracted Boomship spilt his hotdog on Amanda's lap. He was a complete gentleman about the clean-up and they still laugh about it today.
