3/18 Current sentiment with other smart contract blockchains
ETH PoS should take longer than expected. Devs worry about lack of security and robustness.
SOL blockchain suffered multiple outages. Having an ‘off’ button is concerning for decentralization and store of value.

9/18 Cardano eUTXO model is perfect for NFTs and dApps
Compared to ETH, ADA transaction model is a no-brainer for scalability:
Multiple assets in one transaction
Low and steady transaction fees
No fees are spent if the transaction fails
“A picture is worth a thousand words”

We may be in the middle of a bear market but the Cardano NFT space doesn't feel like it. There are many improvements to come both on the blockchain and on the projects. I think it's safe to say next few months will be very interesting, buckle up.
