- Crypto = money of the metaverse NFTs = all the โstuffโ in the metaverse DAOs = companies in the metaverse Social tokens = compensating users for their engagement What are some possible new categories that havenโt yet been created? Will there be any or is that it?
- It's so obvious that NFTs will overtake crypto 99.99% of ppl do not care about: - Staking - Txs per second - Non-sovereign money etc But everyone loves - Visually seeing what we own (vs seeing numbers) - Being a part of a community - Showing off - Collecting - Games - Art etc
- I see a ton of people shitting on OpenSea I'm an investor so biased but regardless the hate is absurd These are the guys that were busy building & grinding since 2017 back when 99% of people in CRYPTO laughed at NFTs and because they won't launch a token everyone's mad??
- NFTs literally cannot lose They take human behavior & crank it up to level 1000000 NFTs allow you to: - Socialize - Speculate - Display status - Feel belonging - Emotionally connect AND they are: - Always on (24/7 markets) - Connected to the ultimate social network (internet)
- 1-year performance of tech stocks brutal. looks like crypto
