NFT comeback odds for 2026? Quietly rising.
The hype is gone but the building isn’t.
Shift is clear: from speculation → real utility (gaming, access, identity).
No mania this time. Just infrastructure getting stronger.
If NFTs return, it’ll be quieter—and more real.
AI is the most bullish shift for high-agency people in decades.
It compresses the middle.
Average output is being automated:
– copywriters → GPT
– designers → Midjourney / Figma AI
– analysts → copilots
– junior devs → codegen
Replaceable work is disappearing in real time.
At the same time, leverage for top operators is exploding.
One person can:
– build and ship product in days
– run full-stack marketing solo
– analyze markets instantly
– reach millions without intermediaries
What used to take teams now takes individuals.
The constraints that protected incumbents are gone:
– distribution is open
– tools are cheap
– execution is faster than coordination
Speed beats structure.
Industries already shifting:
Marketing → one-person media engines outperform agencies
SaaS → solo builders shipping faster than funded teams
Education → individuals scaling audiences over institutions
Recruiting → networks compounding faster than resumes
Media → creators owning attention over companies
Bureaucracy loses to velocity.
The game now centers on:
Attention
Taste
Speed
Networks
Agency
Everything else is secondary.
The environment rewards people who:
– break problems down to first principles
– identify non-obvious angles
– execute before consensus forms
Independent thinkers compound faster than coordinated groups.
There is a window where:
– tools are underpriced
– incumbents are slow
– attention is still inefficient
That window tightens quickly.
Place asymmetric bets.
Collapse timelines.
Move with speed.
The fastest independent thinker in the room
controls the outcome.
Most projects launch tokens first.
Few build real products before the token.
That’s why @Backpack and @MadLads feel different.
I remember the first time I used the Backpack wallet.
It felt like the team was actually focused on building infrastructure, not just launching hype.
- A wallet
- An exchange
- A community that actually builds
In crypto, ownership + distribution is everything.
If users feel ownership, they build. If distribution exists, ecosystems grow.
Backpack understands this.
And now the next chapter begins.
Backpack TGE — March 23.
Let’s see what the Lads build next. WAO!
It's been 2+ years since I wrote this thread. Since then, 2 things have become obvious: we're going to live in a multi-chain world and wallets are the nexus.
@Backpack ties everything together while bridging in TradFi. Exciting time to be a @MadLads holder! IPO on the way!
Web3 has a collection of problems that @xNFT_Backpack is actively fixing. Months ago, I was captivated the moment Armani explained how hard it is for an influencer to launch NFTs and get their fans into a token-gated community.

I didn't come into crypto 9 years ago to launch a shit coin.
I didn't come into crypto to get rich quick.
I came into crypto because I believe it's going to change the world, and that the industry was something worth dedicating my life to.
But somewhere along the way, amidst the booms, the busts, the moonshots, the decentralization theater, and the straight up scams, we lost our way.
I don't know about you, but I'm just tired of false promises. And that's what most things are today, simply promises. We live in the most centralized era crypto has ever experienced, and the more centralized something is, the less meaningful a token is.
While it's tempting to want to commit to these same promises, what happens if the team gets acquired? What happens if we want to re-invest into growth? What happens if we divert our time, energy, and resources out of band and circumvent the token altogether? What happens when the team and investors unlock? For many projects, the honest answer to these questions is not pleasant, and you see it in the price chart over and over again.
Unless something is completely decentralized to the point where an immutable protocol can function with the team having retired in the Bahamas sipping pina coladas all day, then utility is just a promise. Often that promise is admirable and well intentioned--but ultimately an unenforceable promise nonetheless. Outside of BTC, ETH, SOL, and a few others, nothing really passes this test. Noble new token models have emerged to solve this problem (shout out to MetaDAO), and today, we introduce our own.
Users that stake the Backpack token for at least a year will have the opportunity to exchange those tokens for equity at a fixed ratio--20% of the company today.
It's such a simple idea, but as far as I'm aware, this is the first time a user has been able to earn the equity of a company by just using the product. So obvious in hindsight, and something I hope others start to adopt as they march on their path to progressive decentralization--both in crypto and outside of the industry.
We have a lot more utility coming, things we'll share over the coming weeks, months, and year. As the Backpack community grows, we will decentralize the token, offering new things over time, some centralized like our equity offering, some decentralized as our product evolves. In the limit, I expect the token to represent more than anything a single company has to offer, but in the short run, it's the best we can do to show our long term commitment to our users.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I can't promise anything. The only thing I can promise is commitment.
We go big or we go home--together, actually together.

There are still ppl purchasing NFTs of some popular collections 5 years after the NFT meta peaked.
It’s safe to assume that these ppl actually enjoy the art and community. A person buying an Ape today isn’t expecting an airdrop or anything.
The same can’t be said for memes. No one is buying Dogwifhat in 2026 just cuz they like the picture.
This is why NFTs are special and will always have the long term marginal buyers that most other briplo coins do not.
When @armaniferrante presented @Backpack roadmap, the most striking thing was that Backpack does things... for real. Not xStocks, but real stocks. Not pseudo banking or card services, but a real bank. And that's where it gets magical.
In recent years, two banks have closed my accounts. Either because these banks didn't like me buying cryptos, or because these banks didn't like me buying cryptos anywhere other than from their partner. Today, I'm with a crypto-friendly bank, and yet I still have significant limitations.
Now imagine a place where you receive your salary, manage your direct debits, receive and send money, and imagine that this place is also home to your cryptocurrencies and your investments in shares.
It removes so much friction, simplifies so many processes, and suddenly Backpack is no longer just talking to the crypto sphere or those who dabble in the stock market. Backpack is starting to talk to everyone who has a bank account. And everything is going to become so much smoother for those who have never touched cryptocurrencies.
If Backpack chose from day one to do the long, costly, and unsexy work, it was not only to be able to offer highly demanding services, but also to be... untouchable.
In a competition, you can always make up for a technical deficit with a good idea and good execution. When it comes to regulation, there are no shortcuts. And when other projects realize they can't break through their glass ceiling without this unglamorous, time-consuming, and expensive work of regulations, then they'll have to get on with it. And Backpack will have already moved on.
And Backpack will be able to dedicate all its resources to their product and user relationship. It's the famous story of the grasshopper and the ant. The grasshopper danced all summer, and when winter came, it had no resources left. The ant worked all summer to dance for decades.
I said it a few days ago. What grows fast dies fast. What grows by taking its time stands the test of time. The foundations Backpack is laying are invisible. Until the day those foundations give Backpack a head start of years.
Yesterday, It wasn't just a wallet. Today, It's not just an exchange. Dream bigger.
Been seeing a lot of complaints about @yugalabs on my timeline recently. it’s kinda wild because when everything was going up, nobody complained. Everyone was just vibing, milking the hype, chasing clout, getting followers, getting access, getting opportunities, making money, all because Yuga was the center of the whole industry.
When things were good, it was so good.
Then the market cooled off and Yuga made a big decision: they raised 400M to actually build a real product. They realized attention isn’t a stable foundation, it can lift you up fast and drown you even faster. So they shifted away from short term attention farming toward building something with real moat and real long term value. A product that brings more people into the industry instead of forcing us to play endless PvP where I win because you lose.
It’s a risky move. but the vision is bigger than the next pump.
Of course they made mistakes. I don’t think anyone denies that. One of the biggest was hiring a professional CEO and expecting them to run a billion dollar crypto native company. That just does not work in our space. We all learned that together.
And yes there’s a lot they can improve. The OG culture, the storytelling, the community management all of that matters. At ApeFest, it honestly felt like Apeco was carrying so much of that energy. And when I had a 1:1 with @HeadofApe, it was obvious he’s hungry to fix things. But it’s hard because the leadership team wasn’t part of the founding team. And crypto communities don’t automatically give you respect if you weren’t there from day one.
But here’s the thing I keep thinking about:
If a friend (Yuga) lifted you up when life was good, would you really walk away the moment life gets hard for them?
If a friend opened doors that changed your career, would you turn around and blame them now because your bags aren’t performing the way you wanted?
I’d be pissed if the team was chilling and doing nothing, but they’re not. @CryptoGarga and @mfigge are grinding, chewing glass, genuinely trying to build something real. The market is something no one can fully control and humans can only do their best with the hand they’re dealt.
Tbh if you ever tried, @OthersideMeta feels like one of the few products that could actually be sustainable long term and show normal people that crypto isn’t just a scammy gambling pit.
Be grateful.
Be patient.
Be positive.
Be early.
