Problem

As a newcomer to the NFT space, I was overwhelmed by the number of marketplaces and platforms available. It was difficult to know which ones were reputable and which ones were not. Additionally, the process of minting and selling my own NFTs seemed daunting and confusing.

After doing some research, I found that many others in the community shared these same concerns. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time, just a few blocks from the Bright Moments Gallery in Venice Beach, backed by Union Square Ventures. I went there to learn more about the market and community.

Solution

I set out to learn as much as I could about all types of NFT communities and their adjacent features such as escrow services and identity verification to ensure secure transactions. It was apparent to me an active review of Discord commentary as well as market movement through subscription services like Nansen were critical to understanding each community. By trading and creating my own NFTs through DALL-E2, including a Futuristic Picasso Collection titled 'Pablo's Resurrection: 2173, I was able to see the potential of NFTs future uses and current hurdles for mainstream adoption.
