How do you pick your next NFT? Community responds

Redditors discussed various strategies on how they pick the next NFT collection they will invest in.

Since it may be a good time tobuy nonfungible tokens (NFTs)as the floor prices are lower, a Reddit user asked the community what they look for when searching for the next NFTs to add to their collection.

In a subreddit, the Redditor has gotten various answers from the community includingexaminingthe utilities of the tokens, finding overhyped projects with low minting fees and monitoring data collected by oracles and basing their NFT investing strategy on what they see.

According to one Redditor, utility is what theylookfor when checking NFTs because it goes beyond being a "digital art piece." In addition to that, they highlighted that the project's community must also be examined as they "keep the utility alive and interesting."

Another usersharedtheir investment strategy for both the short and long term. According to Redditor 4laman, their short-term strategy is to look for overhyped projects with low mint fees. In the long term, they look for projects that are collaborations between big brands.

Meanwhile, another NFT collectorsuggestedmonitoring real-time NFT data that are collected and provided by oracles. According to the trader, the metrics within the NFT data platforms will be able to help collectors choose how to pick their next NFT.

While traders are looking for their next NFTs, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin suggested a "low-tech approach" tomaking NFT transactions anonymous. Buterin said that smart contracts can add a function that lets senders reveal their addresses only to the receiver of the transaction.

Meanwhile, NFT marketplace OpenSea recently introduced anupdate to its stolen item policyto counter NFT theft. According to the company, it has expanded its use of police reports to verify the authenticity of stolen item reports, preventing the misuse of reporting functions in the marketplace.

Genesis
José Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.
