creatives asking if they should pay attention to NFTs in 2021 will age similarly to business owners asking if they should pay attention to the internet in 2001
will there be insanely successful examples of people using NFTs that make you want to give up? yes
does it mean that NFTs as a technology aren't an entirely new mechanism for digital value exchange? no
i was 13 in 2001 so did not experience the dot com mania, but have heard plenty of parallel stories
with any exploding market comes speculators on both the buy and sell side
the world is also exponentially different, i couldn't have written this on twitter in 2001
when any new technology emerges, it seems like we try to create some sort of collective mental shorthand for understanding it based on the rudimentary initial applications, missing almost all of the entire point each time
internet = fax machine
nfts = jpeg casino
as my good friend @behaviorgap would say, zoom out my friends
