In any collectible industry, passionate collectors will drive sustainability, interest, and value in the marketplace over the long run. Collecting NFTs may be a foreign concept to most people because the space is so new, but collecting habits will have a tremendous influence on how the space evolves.
In the long run, if every single person in the NFT space is only in it to acquire an asset, sell for a profit, and move on, value and interest will be lost over time.
However, in spite of massive gains and volatility in the space, there are true collectors who take pride in finding their specialty, learning about artists, and voting with their dollars by buying and holding projects they like.
I sat down with one of those collectors, ZeroG, who specializes in vintage NFTs and is one of the kindest human beings in the space, always willing to educate and support newcomers to chat about his story and evolution as a collector.
For those who are wondering what NFT project to buy out of the many options on the market, understanding—and thinking—like a collector are more likely to lead you to longer-term value and reduced risk from the volatility in today’s market.
Please keep in mind, this is not financial advice. No one can predict the future and it’s critical that you don’t spend money on NFT projects that you can’t afford to lose.
