The funny thing I’ve been finding about NFTs is that it is still super complicated and daunting for a lot of people.
I think a lot of people are still very confused about what they are - people are reading articles and they’re hearing opinions and not all that many are actually exploring the space themselves. And...I totally understand. It’s scary. It’s new. And that’s almost to be expected. The first few times I messed around with crypto I really wanted someone to hold my hand through it all, but at the time I did it I didn’t even know anybody who was involved so I had to push through it on my own. It was a bit costly...I wasted a ton of time, I lost some money, I misplaced some keys, I was sim-phished, etc. but the payoff of the knowledge and experience was worth it to me. So that’s why I feel comfortable walking so many of YOU through it to help get you up to speed...I can’t even count how many of you have hit me in the DMs asking for help in the space and I’m HAPPY to give it. Especially cuz you’re helping support what I’m doing. 100
When I see something like the article above...it piques my interest. But I’m not interested in the art. I’m more interested in understanding who’s buying it. Because IMO it DEFINITELY isn’t sneakerheads. I think it’s people who hear the word ‘sneakers’ and think it’s just instant flipability.
It makes me think...real sneakerheads must be vastly underrepresented in the NFT space. For example - the stuff that @sonsofblackmaria and I are creating are reflective of the actual stories behind these sneakers and they’re largely flying under the NFT radar. I LOVE what Sons and I are doing together. I come with the story and the concept and he starts whipping some shit up and it comes out INCREDIBLY. Tell me - have you seriously seen an NFT of the Jesus/Satan shoe NFT that comes anywhere close to what we did? Yet I’m getting virtually ZERO hits on my rarible/opensea account.
Am I going to be able to take y’all - my sneakerhead community - to the NFT space?
Or
Am I better off focusing on the NFT space and bringing them up to speed on our sneakerhead community?
