everyone claiming NFTs are dead and will never again see the inflated prices of the 21/22 mania

what happens when an entire generation of kids who grew up playing Roblox / Fortnite join the workforce and have disposable income?

1 in 2 kids under 16 is playing these games daily in the US

ig my question is,, will that social signalling stay w/in the platform upon which they're creating wealth (and thus their status already exists)

definitely agree. the next generation of kids will enter the Roblox and Fortnite ecosystems at an even faster pace, but I’m wondering what happens when those kids are in their late 20s and 30s. I feel like previous generations were able to social signal through cars, homes, clothes etc but these next couple of generations will likely want other ways to flex and it’ll probably be online-first

roblox/fortnite market caps go up

would imaging those co's are working hard to keep their economies growing and privatized. but maybe there's an opportunity to have a bigger economy by plugging into ethereum

I think currently that is true. but I don’t think the NFTs of the future will be so explicitly “crypto”. think something like swoosh.nike or some of the newer web3 games like Tokyo Beast 

most of the revenue from Roblox and Fortnite comes from Robux and V-Bucks and is used to purchase cosmetic items. I have a strong feeling that kids growing up in these ecosystems will likely grok the benefits of fungible tokens and NFTs better than anyone in our generation ever did. when the social stigma wears off and the narrative changes I think we’ll see them adopt these technologies without even knowing it

From watching my own kids, there are 2 problems with this theory:

1. Kids under 16 HATES crypto. They see their favorite YouTubers turn into crypto scammers and are turned off at a young age
2. Kids don’t want to OWN this stuff. They might want to make money off it (my 14 yo sure would) but that requires someone else wanting to own it and I’m not convinced there’s a market for that. 

And as an additional point: items in Fortnite and Roblox are not rare usually

Definitely and I wish it would be the case but it means that even then there will be a explanation work to do about the benefits of the NFT technology. What I wanted to say is that it won't be natural.

I didn’t own my WoW gear or the golden ammassed either, but I can’t help but imagine what it would’ve been like if NFTs existed back then and I could translate all that time spent grinding into actual income, even if it was passive

On one hand I agree with this assumption (I was discussing the marketing power of sneakers in Fortnite yesterday evening), on the other hand this generation is used own nothing (you don't own your fortnite skins, and your digital pokemon cards).

Yeah but they’ll have their own version and it will be wonderful

They not gonna care about our boomer nfts tho, I bet. Not enough upside

They aren’t dead and will never be dead. It’s just the way we knew them that may be dead.

I believe that this death is actually healthy for NFTs as it allows us to create something more sustainable. To turn a “trend” into an industry.

NFTs are definitely here to stay, most kids won’t probably know that they are using them in games like Roblox, but it won’t matter🌹
