Let's explore long term NFT investments,

Art, Gaming, Virtual Land, Utility.

What's here to stay for 2-3 years, thus being a good long term hodl.

1/ Thread

2/
Generally there's 2 types of NFT investment categories.

Short term - Flipped while volume is high. Bought early, sold almost asap.

Long term - Held on to as the project matures.

We'll explore the latter. (At the tail end of below graph)

3/ @AxieInfinity Mystic Axies.

Mystic Axies were rolled by luck 3 years ago during the presale. No more will be released.

There's ~1,400 of them and the price has been steadily increasing from 0.6 ETH to 4.5 ETH today.

Reaching 10+ ETH at one stage.

4/ User base for Axie Infinity is increasing!

With land gameplay around the corner and a recent $1.5M Land Bundle sale, I'd assume that user base will keep climbing.

= more demand for mystic axies as they're hard capped and seen as collector class within the Axie ecosystem.

5/ Early/pivotal artists to the trajectory of the industry.

There are MANY, but an example, using data.

@beeple's first release of 100 on @niftygateway, 'Politics is Bullshit',

Sold for $1 on Oct 30 - 2020.

2 Recent sales a couple days ago for $16k, $20k.

Cheapest $30k!

6/ There's many artists/creators like this,

@grimemonday 'Last stand of the nation state'

@fewocious @SuperRare 1/1's

@trevorjonesart Bitcoin Bull

etc,

7/ Virtual Worlds with hardcapped Land supply.

@decentraland has had ALL of its supply released. There won't be more unless the community vote yes.

With the recent @atari HQ, 100+ new galleries in last 2-3 months and 100-500 at events.

I'd say land is a good buy.

8/ True for other virtual worlds as well that have a fixed land supply and increasing demand.

BUT with Decentraland - Land has fluctuated in MANA price.

From 8,000 MANA to 15,000 MANA back to 8,000 MANA. As MANA has gone form 4 cents to 25 cents.

But in terms of USD

9/ Cryptopunks from @larvalabs

They've gone up steadily for 2-3 years, going parabolic in the last few months.

The first 10,000 NFTs on #Ethereum Blockchain.

Currently seem super hyped, but hey, they've proved to stay relevant.

10/ @nba_topshot, seems with Gameplay coming out giving more utility to the NFTs, they may continue to see interest.

Although prices have gone crazy, I'm overall bullish that, since they're licensed, they'll continue to see steady price increase with utility.

11/ @BondlyFinance BCCG NFTs on Opensea.

Why? Because you can stake them to get rewards across the Bondly ecosystem.

Free trading on Bswap.

Airdropped partner NFTs. Kind of 'keys' to the Bondly ecosystem.

Utility IF Bondly goes big.

12/ Usually I take a gamble and invest very early OR wait it out and let the project/art mature to prove via data, there's price appreciation.

Projects like @TheHashmasks are new, blasted on to the scene, but I'll be watching for a few months to see if they sustain.

13/ There's other projects coming out that I'm excited about.

UFC on @flow_blockchain,
Illuvium on @Immutable X
@PlayEmberSword

Some, of the many to watch out for BETA access.

14/

Basically, as long as the demand continues to increase, your investment should.

Whether it's an artist that's continuously growing their brand or a game/virtual world project that's growing their user base.

I look for signs of the above.
