Dear Bankless Nation,

At first, people thought we were crazy for using NFTs.

There will probably come a time, though, where people will think you’re crazy if you *don’t *use them.

We’re not there yet to be sure. But seeing Twitter dive into NFTs this week offers us a glimpse of that future in which these tokens are *everywhere*.

For now, keep building and have a great weekend!
