Summary

In the beginning, there were Cryptokitties. Well, maybe it wasn’t THE beginning, but it was the beginning of NFTs. In 2020, there were Blockchain Heroes. And meanwhile on Ethereum, some Punks and Apes took over the world, with some NFTs commanding 7-figure prices. The world was rife with birds, mutants, doodles and all varieties of digital art.

Then, the crash happened. And it happened bigly. The promise of digital ownership had been betrayed and the value of everyone’s pixels came tumbling down. Ouch.

But here we are in 2025, and something is stirring in the NFT world. Today we’ll examine the past, present and future of the NFT world.

Welcome to our “non-fungible Travis and Joel” episode #786 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
