At this point, I want ETH even if it is a scam

nfts are the better onboarding funnel. memecoins teach people to chase charts. nfts put them in communities, where they meet people, learn the culture, and actually stick around. that difference will matter again.

NFTs are an area of crypto that i think deserves another look the 2021 boom and subsequent crash left a lot of people with a negative view of them, but the underlying concept still makes sense to me as more businesses move onchain, NFTs could become a useful way to represent ownership, experiment with revenue sharing and build communities around products i expect there's still a lot of room for experimentation beyond the NFT models we saw last cycle

A man got fired from his job, was unemployed for 10 months, watched his savings crash 75%, and somehow built one of crypto's biggest exchanges. > In July 2017, Siemens laid off Hayden Adams, a 24-year-old mechanical engineer. > He had no software engineering career to fall back on. > His friend Karl Floersch told him Ethereum was the future and convinced him to learn smart contract development. > Hayden spent two months learning to code. > Then Karl showed him an idea from Vitalik Buterin about how people could trade tokens without a traditional exchange matching buyers and sellers. > Hayden started building a prototype. Called it Uniswap. > By April 2018, he'd been unemployed for 10 months and the crypto he was living on had lost over 75% of its value. > Most people would've started looking for another job. > Hayden booked a flight to South Korea to attend a crypto conference. > He didn't even have a ticket to the event and was turned away at the entrance. > Then he ran into Karl, who introduced him to Vitalik Buterin. > Vitalik pulled out his phone and read Hayden's smart contract right there. > He adviced him to apply for an Ethereum Foundation grant. > Hayden applied and got the grant which was valued at around $100,000 on paper. > After $ETH's price dropped, its actual value was closer to $55,000–$60,000. > He kept building. > On November 2, 2018, Uniswap launched on Ethereum. > Today, it's one of the most important decentralized exchanges in crypto, allowing people to trade tokens without relying on a traditional centralized exchange. A man lost his job, watched his savings collapse, and built one of crypto's biggest financial platforms. Imagine if he'd just updated his CV and moved on.
