Where did the NFT magic go?

Two years into the slump, and the whole scene feels different. The spark that once animated collectibles—from profile pics to pixel art series—has dimmed noticeably. But here's the thing: it's not just on project builders to turn this around. Collectors and community members carry equal weight. Problem is, everyone's scattered right now. Optimism has evaporated into frustration.

You see it everywhere. The projects that captured imagination—the big collections, the community darlings—they're struggling to stay relevant. Holders are losing faith. Builders are scrambling. No one's quite sure what 2026 holds anymore.

Sad state of affairs when the energy just drains out like this.

Honestly, these past two years watching NFTs go from a peak to an ice-cold abyss has been quite painful. It was about time someone burst this bubble. Instead of waiting to die, it's better to reflect on the fundamental issues. Without a story, a collection just becomes a dead JPG—who can be blamed? Holders are really getting caught and worn out; builders also need to think about how to tell new stories. Retail investors have no motivation, and the community will disperse; relying solely on hype won't sustain it... But to be honest, this is an inevitable phase after the gold rush. Those who survive are truly valuable. Let's wait another two years—either a breakthrough or a complete cool-down.
