Something that I’ve noticed all of the most successful NFT projects have in common:
Organic growth.
BAYC, Doodles, WoW, Cool Cats, Azuki, PA, CloneX, mfers, Deadfellaz, etc etc.
No unsustainable hype tactics, engagement farming, no influencer pumps, etc. - avoid these types.

Elon hates shorts maybe more than anyone. Especially a particular one that filed a class action against him before - who also has a lot to lose on $GME - Mr. Andrew West.

The merge aims to make Ethereum more efficient by switching to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) from its current Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism.
