Seeing a lot of talk about NFTs lately.
A few thoughts.๐ญ
Art is as old as humanity.
Collecting is human nature.
We have always created, collected, traded, and attached meaning to things.
None of that is going away.
But somewhere along the way, we managed to build one of the most unpleasant cultures around something that should be incredibly exciting.
Too many people extracting liquidity.
Too many fake personalities.
Too many people pretending to build.
And donโt even get me started on KOLs.
We keep asking why new people arenโt entering the NFT space.
Seriously?
Why would anyone willingly enter an environment where everyone seems to be looking for the next person to dump on?
Iโve experienced a lot of different creative communities over the years. The attitude in parts of this space is among the worst Iโve encountered.
And thatโs a shame.
Because the technology is fascinating.
An NFT can be art.
It can be an identity.
It can be a wallet.
It can own assets.
It can interact with applications.
It can become part of a game, a community, or something we havenโt even imagined yet.
And yes, it can simply be something beautiful that someone wants to collect.
Thatโs enough too.
With @mintbay_fun , and @OnChainHoodies , Iโve spent a lot of time exploring what happens when we stop treating NFTs as lottery tickets and start treating them as building blocks.
Not everything works. Not everything needs to.
But at least weโre experimenting.
I donโt think NFTs need another hype cycle.
They need better culture.
Less extraction. More contribution.
Stop asking how we bring the next wave of buyers into NFTs.
Start asking what weโre building that makes people actually want to be here.
The technology was never the biggest problem. We are also part of the problem. And that means we can be part of the solution.
