Finding the Next CryptoPunks: What the Most Valuable NFT Collections Have in Common
Can studying the NFT blue chips help us find the next big winners?
The NFT technology is enabling digital ownership and having a profound impact on art, gaming, music, and really our daily lives, economy, and culture at large.
Studying and participating in all this is exciting in and of itself, but it’s also creating some great investment opportunities and certain NFT collections have made some people very wealthy in the last few months.
While I still believe CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and Cool Cats are great investments at their current price points, they’re also well out of reach for most people. That’s why I’m now searching for the next blue-chip ‘generative trait’ project.
Having studied these and other successful NFT projects, and listened to the experts in the space, I’ve made a set of loosely defined criteria that I’ll outline below. This is by no means a guaranteed formula for long-term investing success, a quick-flip guide for instant profits, or financial advice of any kind. I’m just offering my humble and ever-evolving perspective and educated guesses as to what makes for a good long-term investment in this space.
