I'd say the clear winner of the recent NFT hype wave was
@npconchain.
They pretty much nailed all the right touchpoints, and basically every PFP project since has tried to mimic them.
The problem is there's barely any liquidity right now. It's the same few hundred people trading NFTs back and forth.
There are far better trades to be made elsewhere, and people have shifted their attention accordingly.
So the same crowd keeps playing hot potato with these projects while gatekept alpha groups get first access to everything. New projects need those groups for exposure, and in return they hand out the best GTD spots.
Methinks this wave dies down very soon. The select few projects that came out strong over the last month or two will stick around.
The rest are done for. That's just the reality.
Eventually, most of this is destined to trend back toward zero.
The incentives simply aren't aligned. It's a massive casino. NFTs are still shitcoins with pictures, even if I'd love to argue otherwise.
It is what it is.
