Haven’t made videos since Friday… Spent time instead freaking out about a biopsy I’m getting tomorrow in my chest😭 I don’t talk about my health publicly but figured I’d do it because health issues are isolating and they shouldn’t be. Hopefully back to normal by Tuesday!

NFT "seasons" follow crypto cycles. 2021 was peak speculation—PFP hype, massive volumes, then crash. In 2026, the market is maturing and projected to hit ~$60B, emphasizing utility (gaming, RWAs, tokenization) over flips. Expect steadier growth in top projects rather than 2021-style frenzy. Timing depends on broader bull signals—no exact date, but it's evolving now.

What If NFTs Never Come Back Like 2021? You see one NFT go from 0.02 ETH to 1 ETH and suddenly people start saying “NFTs are back.” I get it, it feels good to see floors moving again. But one collection pumping is not a cycle. In 2020, NFT sales were around $82M-$95M. By 2021, that number jumped to over $17B, with some reports putting it closer to $25B. OpenSea was doing billions in monthly volume at the peak. It was not just about the art. It was new money, ETH wealth, status, Discord culture, and the belief that someone else would always pay more. Right now, some floors are moving again. > Gift of Time went from 0.02 ETH to over 1 ETH. > Faces moved hard too. But daily NFT volume is still around $5M-$6M in many periods. That is not dead, but it is not a full NFT bull market either. For NFTs to really come back, we need fresh buyers, real secondary volume, and collections people actually want to be seen holding. Until then, attention is just moving around again.

This was probably the worst way to lose $150,000 ever In July 2022, an NFT whale called Franklin, the seventh largest Bored Ape holder at the time, registered an Ethereum Name Service domain called "stop-doing-fake-bids-its-honestly-lame-my-guy.eth" It was meant to be a meta joke about people creating useless ENS names just to bait a Twitter bot into tweeting fake high bids on them To pull the joke off, he placed a 100 ETH bid on his own domain from a second wallet, which was worth around $150,000 at the time and the bot ended up tweeting it Then a guy called 8892 placed a real bid of 1.89 ETH (~$2,800) on the domain Franklin accepted, went to Twitter to post "the most surprising 1.891 ETH I have ever made" and then completely forgot one detail His own 100 ETH bid was still active Fifteen minutes later, 8892 accepted that 100 ETH offer, instantly selling the domain back to Franklin for $150,000 and walking away with a clean 97.5 ETH profit Franklin tried sending the 1.89 ETH back as a goodwill gesture hoping the buyer would reverse it 8892 just tweeted "I ripped this guy off for 100 ETH and he just sent me another 1.9?" Franklin posted "Oh no, I lost 100 ETH. This will be the joke and bag fumble of the century. I deserve all of the jokes and criticism." A guy who owned 57 Bored Apes worth millions got rinsed because he couldn't remember to cancel his own joke

There's no better time in recent memory for OpenSea to just launch its token and send the NFT market into an absolute frenzy.
