Although I’m not as wildly optimistic as some about “NFT szn” right now, I’ll say this: It’s not here yet, but when it comes I’m convinced it’ll be the most powerful and meaningful run we’ve ever witnessed. Bear markets don’t just drain portfolios; they reveal who’s actually building. While most are feeling down, checking wallets, and hoping for a miracle, this is precisely when the sharpest minds and true creators level up and separate themselves from the noise. So many are still focused on flipping a JPEG or altcoin for a $50–$100 gain. But zoom out, imagine in three years’ time: - Holding $Pudgy feels like holding early shares of Disney, - @rektdrinks becomes the Red Bull of Web3 culture, - @ChimpersHQ is our Pop Mart, a household brand with a Labubu-level fandom …and yes, maybe I’m even more imaginative when I think about what’s to come with @Memeland, @Azuki, or @cryptopunksnfts. Dreaming? Maybe, but it’s the dreamers who make the impossible real. And unlike the fairy tales of “roadmaps,” pitch decks, and promises, we’ve all watched enough VC-backed darlings vanish underground, even after raising millions from top funds. This season, my energy is for the warriors. The founders and creators who never left the trenches. Builders like @osf_rekt, @TimpersHD, @LucaNetz, @9gagceo, @Zagabond,.. They don’t just talk. They deliver. They show up year after year, Bear and Bull, carrying their communities with consistency and conviction. If you’re still chasing hype, maybe it’s time to look beyond the daily price action. This is about investing in vision, grit, and heart. Watch these founders. Support these teams. The next true NFT szn will belong to the ones who built when nobody was cheering.
