The market is… not great.
As someone who built their career during the bear market of 2018 - I promise there is a world of opportunity ahead.
If you’re an artist, map out your survival plan. Recognize that it’s harder than ever to sell a Music NFT for 0.1 ETH.
If you’re a collector, recognize you won’t see a return on your Music NFTs for a very long time, if ever.
Free mints pose an exciting path forward.
What if instead of treating every mint as a “drop”, we started minting for fun.
What if there was no “release date”, no marketing campaign, no Twitter Space, no making a big fuss.
Just mint it.
Put music out there for curators to discover. If we want to make it through the rough, it has to be fun.
Because realistically - no one is making a million dollars overnight anytime soon.
But - if you stay consistent and look back two years from now - I think you’re going to be very happy with the results.
I’ve never been more proud to say I work in web3.
To say I get to spend my days supporting independent artists and finding the next superstar.
This movement is a real force of nature - and you’re right at the source.
A few weeks ago I had the best listening experience of my life.
Yours is right around the corner.
Keep going.
