Over the past week new NFT projects blitzed onto the scene, new faces arrived, and new narratives gained ground.
Metaphorically speaking, the ground beneath you can shift rapidly in this ecosystem. And oftentimes this rebalancing seems to happen just as soon as you’ve gained your footing from previous shiftings.
That said, stay nimble and curious. Tap into our space’s hivemind when you need to learn more. Keep your eyes peeled. Your crypto and NFT skill trees will grow with each passing day, and more and more your talents will sharpen for whatever comes next here.
In the meantime, let’s catch you up on some of the biggest NFT happenings from recent days. Thanks for reading as always, and have a great weekend everyone.
