🧵 I agree with most of the points here. @ElrondNetwork seems to be too centralised and too unwelcoming to developers compared to its competitors.

Here's my perspective on Elrond NFTs visavis the fundamentals of Elrond. I don't have the sufficient expertise to claim, as the quoted post seems to do, that the major issue behind these symptoms of Elrond is the sharding architecture. I came across other people advocating that at least Elrond's implementation of sharding is not optimal.

🧵It is crucial to realise that the core element of a MMORPG like @Karithaio cannot be its art, however beautiful I find it to be.

@Karithaio's promise lies in its mechanics, both game-wise and on-chain. As Amir puts it perfectly, Karitha is a showcase of "utility and execution" I know that these two words are not merely thrown there. They represent a certain philosophy. A belief about the future of the NFT space.

I daresay that pretty much everyone who think they hold an NFT from the supposedly next BAYC collection are likely to be disappointed.

🧵 The adjective "overrated" is almost always applicable to any given crypto-project from a financial perspective.

Very few would deserve being called "underrated."

@NaturalDegenz is, I believe, one of those in the Elrond NFT space.

Why? Whatever other utilities they bring, the chief aspect of NFTs is that they are collectibles. They are, for this reason, comparable to works of art and antiques.

As such, it makes sense for there to be an auctioning gallery for NFTs, just like the ones for art and antiques.
