I still recall the NFT hype of few years ago. It was the most popular form of digital art then, thought it will stand the test of time probably 10 years but unfortunately today NFTs have not only faded, it has lost value. Few years ago when NFTs were making headlines, people bought them at ridiculous prices hoping to get rich quick on the long run. At some point it was sold at fund raising events which was cool.
I still recall when the internet when Justin Sun bought a banana-on-a-wall art piece for $6.2million, in his case he didn’t buy it for profit he said he bought it because the piece represented a cultural phenomenon that bridges art and the crypto community. But presently i think it’s safe NFTs don’t stand a chance to go mainstream anymore, even though they were seen as a key part of Web3 ecosystem then, it doesn’t hold no real utility to make it significant now.
I wonder if OpenSea and Doodles still generate enough revenue from NFTs anymore because now everyone cares more about AI, ChatGPT than NFTs.
I remember the NFT a few years ago when the price of each one went up, especially during the popularity of axie infinity, NFT's were very expensive, then the NFT that Justin Sun bought was very expensive, could you imagine that, how many generations of my family can live on that price.
Although it cannot be denied that this NFT season has been very quiet, but as others here are saying, there is probably a short season when this NFT will suddenly make noise at a time when the community here is not expecting it. And in my opinion, it also seems like it is really part of the crypto space.
