Top 5 NFT Collectors to Follow in 2023
The NFT market in 2023 has had a comfortable start, much like it did in 2022. For now, there is no telling which direction it will take, for the optimist, however, it points green all the way. But if there’s one thing to learn about the cryptocurrency space, it’s that a billion dollars can be wiped out in a matter of hours. Similarly, projects can raise a billion in an instant.
The mood in the industry is one of optimism, with several new NFT projects flooding the market, and new NFT projects such as Bitcoin Ordinals emerging. With an oversaturated market, NFT enthusiasts often turn to notable NFT collectors to make decisions. While most users in the NFT space, including whales, often choose to remain anonymous, some collectors often choose to make themselves and their assets known. This often gives them a large following from NFT enthusiasts hoping to hit it big in the NFT space.
Whether it’s a celebrity collector or a Twitter influencer with a massive following, collectors play an important role. For many users, the goal is to buy in early on the good NFT projects and avoid the bad ones. Thus, by following the collectors, they can easily identify the projects to invest in or avoid.
