About this episode
A listener suggested topic (props to Petar), are NFT's just the current hype or do they have some lasting value?
In Episode #236 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: the definition of a fad (and provide some examples), my 4 categories that are indications of a fad, Juan's thoughts on a product integrating into society, our conclusion on whether NFT's are a fad and why they will certainly have a crash (fad or not).
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
