Technology for technology’s sake is not a valid reason for technology to exist.

The US doesn’t have proper federally regulated legislation for social media and privacy. We’re basically just relying on CCPA (California) and GDPR (EU). Blockchain regulation likely won’t be happening anytime soon.

If you think about the internet, many of us were using it back in the early to mid 90s, and yet mass adoption didn’t happen until the mid 2000s and the explosion of usage didn’t happen until after the first iPhone was released in 2007 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_(1….

Over the next year, we are going to spend our time exploring the big picture of how blockchain will change our world with the goal of inspiring the next iteration of blockchain founders and entrepreneurs to build the future that we all know is possible.

Starbucks Odyssey is likely going to be the first product that reaches the masses with NFTs. How regular users respond will be a bellwether for how 2023 performs, and my best guess is that it’s going to be a mild response at best. waitlist.starbucks.com

NFTs won’t reach mass adoption for a few years. There are a few reasons users will stay away from NFTs and crypto. Frauds and scams are at the top of that list.

NFTs will become seamlessly integrated into products. Users won’t know they’re being used.

What’s the rational reason that the art market is going to suddenly explode to be valued substantially more than it was just a couple years ago? Taking physical art and simply making it digital doesn’t double a market without some other innovation.

Just like traditional art, some NFTs will be incredibly valuable, but simply being an art NFT won’t imply value going forward.

NFT utility is substantially lagging. Even a large number of people who bought NFTs don’t understand what they can do. Some are so uninformed that they think that digital art is the biggest reason you’d buy an NFT.

I don’t believe that NFT research or notifications will hit mass appeal or even large appeal for a few years (at the earliest 2025). We'll still be around when that happens, but others won't 😉

Congrats!

UPDATE We’re going to turn off the daily notifications email and rework it. At some time in the future, we’ll make another update so that you only get sent an email if there’s an update in our platform for NFTs in your wallet. More iterations to come.

Seeing NFTs bring in $1M+ and then rug is frustrating. I brought in ~$60K with the Future Mints mint, and even though I’ve paused engineering… 1. We built a product 2. It still works 3. We’re writing a book 4. The book will be FREE to NFT hodlers We’re still building.

Couldn’t be more excited to speak TODAY about Web3 Branding at the @FortressXyz SXSW Penthouse alongside Michelle O’Connor and Migrated Account. A big thank you to Fortress, Alex and This Week in Fintech for inviting me to participate! 👀#SXSW 📲 me to talk anything/everything Future Mints

Fun times speaking at the Web3 Branding panel hosted by @FortressXyz. Thanks for moderating Migrated Account and great to hear more about TaxBit from Michelle O’Connor. It may be winter but the future is bright.

I'm still building something for the Future Mints community. Eventually, the Genesis and Season 1 NFTs will have a new benefit. Slow and steady, I intend to contribute to the decentralized space for the years to come.
