Metaversal is a Bankless newsletter for weekly level-ups on NFTs, virtual worlds, & collectibles


Dear Bankless Nation,

If you know you know.

In other words, the allure of NFTs quickly becomes self-evident for most people who dabble with them.

NFTs bring together so many interesting elements from so many different fields — e.g. culture, economics, technology, etc. — that growing numbers of folks are finding these digital assets to be easily among the the most interesting things around right now.

Normies had to be convinced to buy BTC. With NFTs they send you unsolicited flexes of their recent purchase.

And why not, after all the world’s never seen anything like this culture legos + money legos movement before.

So yes, for many of us it’s increasingly obvious that NFTs are powerful and are going to lead to huge evolutions around society in the years ahead. In the meantime, we’re excitedly strapping in for the ride!

Whatever happens from here be sure to have a great weekend everyone, stay safe, and thanks for reading,

-WMP
