Imagine you played Pokemon in 1996β¦
Then you got to watch the Pokemon anime in 1998β¦
Then you got hooked to it. Charizard became your favorite Pokemon so you collected Charizard Holos in 1999β¦
You kept it until 2025 & your collection is now worth a fortune
NFTs is 1998 rn
A lot of major NFTs building IPs in todayβs world are not even 5yrs old. We need to give them time to build while we fervently remain fans
Some points Iβd like to make here:
1οΈβ£ Treat NFTs as collectibles. NFTs arenβt shares to a company. Theyβre products. Theyβre collectibles. Theyβre a badge you can show that youβre early
Collectors of Charizard Holos didnβt ask Pokemon Company for shares. They just held on to their collections with pride
2οΈβ£ New products/collectibles released by the company does not diminish the OGβs value
Pokemon released multiple new games, new cards, or new characters even. But still, itβs the OG 150 Pokemon thatβs most popular today
The same is true with NFTs. Our favorite NFT companies may release new products, new collectibles, & such for a new and wider market but that wonβt diminish the value of the OG NFTs
3οΈβ£ For NFTs to take off as collectibles, they need people invested to the story, lore, & characters
This is where IP building comes in. This is where the anime series, the IG and tiktok accounts, the mainstream partnerships & likes come in
More people need to care about the brand first before the OG collectibles from it
We have such a long way to go but Iβm sitting comfy with my collectibles
