NFT Basel 2021: Roundup from Miami

It really was an NFT takeover as the crypto community made their way to Miami for this year’s Art Basel event. It was “gm” and “wagmi” coming from all directions at the first conference of the week, NFT BZL:

At the DCentral conference, it was surprising how few attendees had accounts to a Metaverse platform, especially compared to how many owned NFTs:

One of the coolest NFTs we saw was this one from Snoop Dogg at The Gateway event from Christie’s auction house.. It ended up selling for over 188 ETH (approximately $750,000):

All in all, I think we can say that it was all “Probably Nothing” and that “WE ARE ALL GOING TO MAKE IT”:
