Collecting NFTs for Investment or Sentiment Value
The art of collecting NFTs has become a distinctive feature of the crypto market and a sign of a healthy economy. During this panel conversation we will attempt to identify the motivations and reasons for collecting NFTs, specifically related to gaming assets and art.
We have recently witnessed a sudden drop in the Ethereum price, with a consequent rise of the gas fees. On another hand, some of the most active layers in the crypto collectable space have decided to refrain from collecting for some time (from specific marketplaces), leaving both creators and the market in a arid place.
The combination of these factors, high gas fees and whale collectors taking a break from the scene, triggered a careful selection on the minting process, suggesting that “gas is indeed the best curator for NFTs” cit. Moxarra. Therefore there has been a decrease of assets made available on the market despite the value of those has increased quite significantly.
“The log sale and bid daily volume plots of @SuperRare_co since April 2018. The log sale volume per day is between 2 and 2.5 (100–300 USD) until October 2019 and then raises to 4 (10,000 USD) with a peak close to 5 (100,000 USD per day). Even stronger is the increase of bid volume.” Graphs by Data scientist Massimo Franceschet
