There's NFTs banger on the TL lately so let's talk about it...
People saying NFTs are dead, and it like déjà vu.
For me, it's the same feeling too. I miss the NFT season badly, and sometimes I even think maybe they’re gone for good. But when I sit and think about it, I remember that even crypto has different seasons.
Right now, NFT sales are down. Floors are bleeding. Holders are quiet. Charts look lifeless, and a lot of degens have given up. But I sensed that energy familiarity. It’s almost identical to what we lived through back 2021.
Back then, almost nobody really cared about value or utility. Everyone just wanted to mint, flip, and flex. I wasn’t one of them, and honestly, I regret not selling and flexing now. Liquidity was everywhere, logic was nowhere. You’d see people with massive followings throwing millions of dollars into projects just because an influencer called it “the next thing.”
I still remember a Cardano collection, can’t even recall the name now. The art was cool, the hype was strong, real money was behind it, and influential people piled in with heavy liquidity. Within weeks, the project rugged. Just like that. No refunds. No updates. No story. Only lessons...
So when people say “NFTs are dead” now, I don’t argue anymore. I’ve seen what alive looked like, and honestly, it wasn’t much better.
Back then, we had volume but no sense. Today, we have silence, and the utilities but no strength no trust for the teams everyone is scared and maybe that’s exactly what’s needed.
But I believe and I sense beneath all the noise, there's some people that are still building. Gaming, ticketing, identity, loyalty. It’s quieter and slower, but this time it feels real. And I do think there’s a difference between today’s builders and the old degens.
This isn’t death. It’s digestion. The market is cleaning itself. The flippers left. The builders stayed.
So if you ask me, NFTs aren’t dead. They’re just tired of pretending.
So today my friend called me “AI slop.” he said CT sounds like ChatGPT, and somehow I ended up on his list.
I actually died laughing cuz he doesn’t even know how many all-nighters,
how many liquidations,
how many times i stared at a red screen at 4am whispering “ngmi”
before i typed a single thread.
Yhis shit is battle-tested, not generated.
but real talk i wish i had this “AI slop” energy in 2021. bruh my thumbs were bleeding from grinding NFT Discord WLs. “gm legends” in 67 servers before breakfast.
shilling my soul for a .png role.
fake-laughing at mod jokes that weren’t even funny. refreshing invite links like an addict.
playing 14 yo shitty games 😭 and for what?
90% of those projects rugged 72 hours after reveal.
took the liquidity.
Left us with JPEGs worth less than the gas we spent minting.
if i had AI back then i would’ve farmed 47 whitelist spots while eating dinner
and maybe touched 7 figs instead of carpal tunnel.
But now in 2025:
WL grinding is dead.
commenting “LFG” under every tweet doesn’t move anything.
teams don’t care about your hype farming.
they care if you can:
• ship audits
• build tools
• write clean threads
• bring real liquidity
• sniff rugs before the dev wallet dumps
noise = ignored
signal = paid
so yeah, call me AI slop all you want i’ll still be here dropping free game,🙄 while the timeline fills with bots coping on 0.02 ETH volume.
So yea stay sharp fr. I mean it..
Dyir
check the contract.
check the liquidity lock.
check if the team is doxxed or just anime pfps with fresh wallets.
protect your bags like your life depends on it… because in DeFi it kinda does.
and to my friend who called me slop? what y’all think? am i really giving AI slop,?
or just built different?
