Real growth comes when people outside the ecosystem start collecting the art

Every NFT I still love started with an artist Not a roadmap Not a floor Someone who made something and put their name on it I've held pieces that went to zero on the chart The ones that stuck with me were the ones where I actually knew the artist So here's what I try to do now: Buy what hits me first Check the chart second Then send the artist a message Just tell them what you saw in their work Most of them are building alone. A real message can change their whole week Floors come and go The artists are what keep this space alive.
