nft-native brands (ex. bored ape yacht club) will be polarizing brands like supreme or rolex or hermes. many people will think it's dumb. the target audience won't care. mainstream brands will adopt nfts as ways to engage super fans.

nft access passes (ex. proof collective) are online-first country clubs and will disrupt traditional ones.

generative art nfts (ex. fidenza) will be more popular than traditional art for decamillionaire millennials and gen-z.

nft fundraising has already eclipsed kickstarter, patreon, and web2 monetization models (youtube, spotify, tiktok, instagram) for creators.

reddit is wrong. nft ticketing is not going to disrupt ticketmaster anytime soon. nft deeds are not going to disrupt realtors anytime soon. entrenched monopolies aren't going to make changes to their business processes to satisfy some angry powerless online communities.

disclosure- i trade nfts. i own none of the listed nfts but have in the past (bayc) and may again in the future.
