opinions don’t matter to the existence of a medium.
they do matter to who gets to participate in shaping it. most people talk. some people build. a few leave receipts. and years later, no one remembers who complained. they only see what remained.
what you think about nfts, art, artists, web3, none of it matters in the long run. not because opinions are useless, but because time doesn’t ask for permission. you will be gone. someone else will be here. whether you think it will succeed or die, whether you call it a bubble, a scam, or already dead, the world keeps moving without consulting your timeline takes.
entire movements outlive their loudest critics. mediums don’t disappear because people stop believing. they disappear only when something better replaces them. and even then, fragments survive. ideas mutate. culture archives itself.
art doesn’t need consensus. it needs participants. history isn’t written by those who predicted the end correctly. it’s written by those who showed up while everyone else was busy announcing its funeral.
you don’t have to like it. you don’t have to understand it. you don’t even have to believe in it. time will decide anyway, because it is indifferent to sentiment.
