“I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.” ~ Wayne Gretzky

> 1.  Enhanced focus on the creator economy and shifting web2 business models to the blockchain. **Why?**
>     
>     1.  The value proposition for creators experimenting on the blockchain is starting to get hot . Some cool d-apps I’d like to point out are [Unlock Protocol](https://unlock-protocol.com/) (token gated content), [Mirror](https://mirror.xyz/) (what I’m using to write this), [Manifold](https://www.manifold.xyz/) (power to the artist), [Glass.xyz](https://glass.xyz/) (video NFTs), [Aave](https://app.aave.com/) (your decentralized bank), and [Ethereum Name Service](https://app.ens.domains/) (your web3 identity)
>         
> 2.  There will be hyper-focus on “how to on-board the next generation to the blockchain.” **Why?**
>     
>     1.  Only [~1.8M people](https://dune.com/rchen8/opensea) have made trades on OpenSea. We are nowhere near mainstream adoption
>         
>     2.  Have you ever tried to set your friends up with a MetaMask?
>         
> 3.  People finally stop saying Wagmi / wgmi. **Why?**
>     
>     1.  Cause they lied.

>         
> 4.  Moonbirds style projects will start to rise in popularity. This drop was the first crowdsourced VC raise via NFTs. **Why?**
>     
>     1.  [Numbers don’t lie](https://dune.com/dantwin/Moonbirds-Nesting)
>         
> 5.  People will be talking about social lifestyle influencing through NFTs and how to properly introduce soul bound NFTs. **Why?**
>     
>     1.  [Because I said so…](https://twitter.com/itskoz_eth/status/1497640925014593536?s=20&t=W2XxVSApRAkcpnR2tRZlMg)
>

> Remember that if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. With the market down tremendously and liquidity dry as the Sahara Desert - the table is set for new industry narratives to emerge and pivot. Let’s see what happens.
