Dear Bankless Nation, 

The NFT ecosystem is extremely young. Our frontier is forming in all directions. 

Accordingly, we’ve only just begun to see our first masters come into their own here. And those who have done so, like the artist XCOPY, have accomplished this by persistently being curious, creative, and studious around NFTs. 

That said, it’s not that we all have to become superstar artists and sell NFTs for beaucoup ETH! Rather it’s that in the very least those of us who are newer here are also becoming better masters of our own fates by being students of NFTs now. That in itself is very, very good.

Every day I hear from a creator that NFTs have changed their life: they were able to quit their day job, focus on their art, stop doing brand deals, etc. Creators: don't let the haters FUD you from participating in NFTs & web3. There's room for you here, too ❤️

So I say stay a student. Keep reading and trying everything you can. Tend to your creativity and industriousness. Tinker, fail, repeat, succeed. Show others the ways you know, and in doing so remind yourself of the paths. You’re a master in the making, after all.
