My NFT RabbitHole...The Gift That Keeps on Taking

Good morning...

I have pushed Momentum Monday to tomorrow as the markets are closed today and I did not want to pester Ivanhoff on Christmas day.

Onwards...

One great thing about Christmas for me is I have no gifts to return.

My biggest gift in 2021 was an NFT from my friend Yoni at eToro who sent me a 'Degenerative Ape Wife' in December that year that cost somebody $5,000.

My blog post asked about etiquette at the time because I wanted to sell it and wondered if that was some bad joojoo.  I never sold it, so my joojoo might be intact, but the 'Degen Ape Wife' trades at about $200.  I will keep it as a memory and put it in a loop once I get one of those fancy digital screens from Blackdove.

In 2022, I found myself down the NFT Rabbithole searching for a use case for a few ideas I had to start a business formed around community/media.  My best trade of 2022 was not starting that business.  That business will get started in early 2023 but with NFT's in the background...and I mean waaaaay back there.

I have not given up on NFT's, but I have not found an easy way or the right way for the businesses I have been forming to make them 100 percent utility first in a way that my customer cares or even needs.

PS - A couple good reads on the year in crypto and NFT's to end the year and this post.  The first from Bloomberg titled 'All The Ways That Crypto Broke in 2022'.  The second...from Wired titled 'The Year The NFT Dies And Came Back to Life'.

Have a great Monday!
