ive a theory that random generative pfp NFT projects may get eventually get outdone by bespoke pfp NFT projects
imo the issue with random generative pfps is that you either have to
1 - be lucky and mint one you like
2 - find a suitable one selling for a good price on the secondary markets
3 - simply accept whatever pfp you get as your new identity
4 - or just not vibe with the project
until the social platforms we use have more "slots" for extending personal expressions of identity, imo pfps now probably constitutes ~80% of one's digital essence
few can get away with hot swapping pfps every other week, especially to non honorary ones
the thing is, bespoke pfps are actually laborious to do, since some effort goes into selecting key features of your "essence"
this is why honorary NFTs are so good - the original persona is now "extended", or perhaps upgraded, with say, a unique pengu skin ala @EtheriaChan pimps
perhaps the most interesting way to tackle this issue that ive seen is @AvimeNFT where you mint out the traits, which you can mix and match, and THEN you would consume them to mint your desired avatar
rather than accepting a hodgepodge of random traits at mint to be your own
im not sure if more projects will go this way, but i found their concept very interesting since you basically build your own avatar, so its basically guaranteed that you'll like the end result rather than having "minter's remorse"
anyway, just sharing some thoughts!
but ive also a reason why random generative projects will continue to do well
cos most of yall are degen gamblers that want to gamble for "rares" since the r/r is very attractive
yall actually dgaf about the art or using it as your pfp, especially gross "common" floor ones haha
anyway, maybe we can see more interesting projects
some ideas:
1 free mint per address for acces
then gacha mints for upgrades
direct auctions by project for rares traits / items
"unequiping" costs money, but preserves the items and money goes direct to the project treasury
tbh i dont really care what yall do with my genius big brain ideas
i already told you shits to synthesize a crypto vtuber waifu but apparently everyone hates free simp money so it really doesnt matter how much alfa i leak yall are completely useless

my idea of good crypto regulation is govts issuing citizens waiver forms
that discharge the govt of their duty to protect citizens from any crypto related losses (not feasible to enforce) or to look after them if they go bust, become homeless and become a burden to the nation
a while ago, i had an idea for stabilizing the $sUSD peg by incentivizing resting buy orders in tiers based on how close they were to the $1 peg
eg. LPs in tight ranges get more rewards for taking on more risk
this can now be done with uni V3, rewarding different pool ranges
this idea didnt work on uni v1 or v2 since you would be providing for the whole range
and it wouldnt work on CEXes cos you want things publicly verifiable
and DEX limit orders arent very popular
during the bear market i think teams will become a lot more mindful about their inflationary spending and "capital efficiency" would become less of a meme
now everyone just copies the same template models because no one is being forced to evolve better ones, yet
