One thing’s clear, though. *We’re leaving the old ways*. > [](https://twitter.com/stefdelev/status/1448799236083048453) Yet the “new” — or rather the range of futures that can arrive through the many open paths in front of us — is extremely moldable and in flux. We should never lose sight of that, meaning we can’t get complacent. Keep building, keep dreaming, keep educating. That’s the NFT way. -WMP --- **🙏 Sponsor: ***[Zerion—Your Gateway to the Metaverse](https://bankless.cc/ZerionMV)✨* --- # 🏆 Digital Collectibles - **CryptoPunk 6046 **just received a whopping 2,500 ETH bid!
