The three lanes
Blue-chips. Punks, BAYC, Pudgy Penguins, Azuki. Liquid, well-priced, and a Schelling point for institutional crypto wealth.
Inscriptions. Ordinals on Bitcoin and runes have become a parallel NFT market with its own meta, its own marketplaces (Magic Eden, OKX) and its own culture.
New mints. Most lose. A few — Remilio, Milady, the entire "miladyverse" — generated 100×+ returns for early buyers willing to underwrite cultural risk.
