There’s a strange disconnect in the NFT space where everyone still seems to agree on their cultural value (or at least general enjoyment), yet the vertical hasn’t come close to reclaiming its former momentum. 

Why?

that’s a great question. I don’t know honestly, my gut instinct is that their cultural value and potential got superseded by ongoing cultural wars and broader stagnation stateside, and in general there isn’t a lot of impetus for new cultural artifacts like NFTs as we work that out of our system… perhaps a bit ahead of their time, I do think ultimately their value will be realized as we move on from our cultural stagnation/crisis
