Exactly and in years to come, same story would be told about coins currently making waves in the market especially the Defi, NFT projects thinking they have forever to dominate the space. Time will wipe them all out or decrease their value just as other projects before them are experiencing, history always repeat itself and those would ignore this surfers.
When you mentioned NFTs, I just had to bring up something I read a few weeks ago. MILF token.
That's really it's name - MILF. There was a lot of hype about it from what I could see. Branded as the new Cryptopunks, whose pieces were sold for several million dollars. These MILFs were supposed to be the sexier version of cryptopunks I guess. They were advertised by that YouTube boxer-what's-his-name guy. The one who fought Mayweather a few weeks back. That's already a bad sign. If you have to pay some influencer/social media personality to advertise your project via social media. Anyway, just take a quick look at the price and how it moved and where it's now. The point is, people shouldn't be sorry that they missed an opportunity considering how many traps there are along the way. You never know if you'll end up getting trapped.
