Besides buying NFTs themselves, how do I gain exposure to the NFT space?

Basically I'm trying to buy the 'picks & shovels' in the gold rush

What I've found so far is this Rarible token which seems to be used on their NFT marketplace

https://rarible.com/

Buying Ethereum of course makes sense too as most these NFT are on the ETH blockchain


I don't believe in NFT utility personally, but I want to invest becauseCoinbaseis introducing NFT

Twitteris integrating NFT into Twitter

********is integrating NFT into that metaverse chit

so there should still be a lot of rising demand

so how do we make money off this without picking out ****gy NFTs to buy?

Has there ever been anything in the universe more worthless than an NFT. And people speculate on this chit anyway. Central bank asset inflation is out of control.

brother i know NFT is bullsht. I just want to make money here with 'picks & shovels' play guys, because even tho it's BS, the volume IS coming for sure.

I still don't understand NFT's. Chit makes zero sense to me...of course i remember thinking the same about BTC in 2013 when people were shilling it at a lower level.

it's basically JPEGs with a chain of custody lol

a way of creating artificial scarcity of digital media

like say Tom Brady makes a limited edition NFT with only 200 of them. you can verify the authenticity and ownership history of who owns that digital content, then you would be able to show off your authentic NFT gallery in your Twitter profile, FB profile, or whatever platform integrates them.

"but couldn't someone just screenshot the NFT to make a copy for free?" ... YES LMAO!!! that's why I say they're bullsht

but im not here to debate their utility. I just want to make money from retards buying this chit

Why people are paying 6 figures for a link to a jpg is beyond me.

I can copy/paste it for free and just post your public address as my own. The general public isn't going to know how to validate I actually own it.

I have some low number cryptokitties in this bitch. Around the same time as crypto punks. Give me money

just lol @ the ppl ITT

I was an NFT non-believer too but after months of research and bs-ing through crypto twitter I understand the incentive.

For the glue eaters, think of an NFT as your digital lambo, rolex, designer brand, etc. basically anything overpriced but has this sort status to them. You automatically assume the person has some type of money, just like with blue chip NFTs (bored ape yacht club, crypto punks, and cyberkongz) and with social platforms adding verifiable nfts, you're basically saying hey im rich or hey im part of this cult.

But beyond that some NFTs provide VALUE outside of just being a profile pic.
1) If you have an NFT, you get access to special groups in discord where you gain information/knowledge about the next big NFT or crypto before it goes out to the public.
2) you get access to OTHER nft white lists just for holding
3) you get 'passive income' from holding the original NFT's. for example for holding a genesis cyberkongz, in the written contract you earn 10 banana tokens per day for 10 years. At one point $BANANA was trading at $100 per coin aka $1000 per day just for holding. There are other nfts trying to do this, cool cat nft
4) NFT gaming - these serve as your in-game character skin. neotokyo - probably the BEST gaming NFT I've come across. Becker and Ellio are geniuses. FREE mint, all you had to do was solve riddles. if you hold this NFT you've basically made 180k+ from $300(gas fees were crazy that day). why am I so bullish on crypto gaming? Because people will play games REGARDLESS of where bitcoin moves. if btc somehow crashes I truly believe certain gaming crypto will not crash as hard as other alts during bear market due to player base. i mean, who wouldn't want to earn money playing video games?
5) the metaverse - this kind of ties into crypto gaming in a way except it's literally a virtual world. an escape from reality. imagine going to your friends house who lives in another state/country and just hanging out with them. even though I think ******** is trash, big name companies will be forced to follow them. at the pace crypto/NFTs are moving, companies will need to keep up or get left in the dust. think how early it is - big money to be made.

and probably more i'm missing but these have been the ones i've been in or paying attention to


To answer OPs question, get on twitter and start following people in the crypto space from youtube. Setup a discord because a lot of pre-mint sales require you to be active to get in whitelists. RESEARCH. a lot of NFTs go to 0 because there is no long term value. I look at the team behind the NFT and their roadmap. i will NEVER invest in an NFT done by celebrities because they have no fkn clue what they're doing. Logan Paul and mila kunis made an NFT and the price was very high. it sold out within minutes only to fall flat on its face like a week later because no VALUE was provided to its holders

repped

so what are the 'picks & shovels' plays for NFT bro? how can I invest in the trend/ecosystemwithout buying specific NFT items?

buy Solana

edited my og post but ill just repeat what i said

from your question I think you're asking how can i invest in an NFT ecosystem without buying the nft? if so, look into gaming NFT/crypto, look at the play and earn games and see what games are in development and look good. you have to be careful though because anyone can just copy and paste assets and say 'hey im building an nft game'. look at the team, reverse image search pics, and see if theres gameplay. They usually have an IDO for their coin but you have to join their discord to find out more info or twitter. To get into IDOs, you usually need to be holding another type of coin before it's released to public sale. For example, holding a certain amount of seedify.fund allows me to buy into gaming IDOs

It's not all about artificial scarcity, it's about authentication via the blockchain. The blockchain doesn't lie. In the example you provided, only 200 NFT's can exist with value attached. That same can't be said for physical objects. If Brady releases 200 limited edition signed footballs, more than 200 may exist at some point due to fakes. And if the fakes are of high quality, the authentication process can be a challenge. Now imagine big ticket items where stakes are really high, i.e, the mona lisa. Anyone who right clicks and saves essentially has a replica of the mona lisa.
