Imagine if PokƩmon came out with NFTs tomorrow, do you think their 10s of millions of customers would care about the price of eth? . Many of the largest brands are making their entry into NFTs this year, and regardless of the price of crypto, millions of their fans are coming.

If you are new to NFTs, your first step shouldnāt be showing up for drops, hodling eth, or following influencers. Instead, your first step should be studying our history, culture, and technology. You canāt make good decisions without understanding why and how we ended up here.

So what NFTs should you buy? . Find projects that are working towards a business plan, that have leadership who can scale, and a desire to create products. Itās okay to start without key parts of a business, but itās not okay if they arenāt the team and communities top priority.

Go to the source. Read whitepapers. Ask the dev team dumb questions. Look at smart contracts. Use Etherscan. Research wallets before you buy assets. Don't click on links. Bookmark original websites. Turn off Discord notifs. DON'T SHARE YOUR SEED PHRASE. Let's lvl up in 2022.
