But it doesn't mean it has to be PFPs. It can still be tied to the NFT tech. Something like a Decentralized Identity fits perfectly!How so? • Onchain identity is needed and applicable to everyone • Ownership • There's a stigma around NFTs yet it doesn't need to be mentioned and we are talking about identity • SocialFi is starting to take off • Identifier is helpful for future applications But what about GameFi❓ Many people think it would be the next hot thing! The tech isn't quite ready yet. 2027-2028 looks better for that when Ethereum is more scaled and we have privacy options with zero-knowledge proofs Additionally, RWAs (Real World Assets) would be also a great fit to gain traction sometime after 2025 till 2028.
