Inspired by the potential of DALL•E and NFTs — and the possibilities that they unleash together — my team and I have created a number of small image collections that we'll be tokenizing as NFTs.

The first collection debuts on Magic Eden today.
Here's why I'm experimenting:
Hoffman was quoted as saying:
The current bear market in crypto makes a good moment for experimentation with a long-term outlook. Developers and entrepreneurs who continue to work in this space are the ones who are most focused on long-term value creation. They’ll build enduring products and use cases.

Finder experts predict Solana price will hit $512 by 2030
A panel of cryptocurrency experts at Finder has predicted that Solana will be worth $166 by 2025 and $512 by 2030. The experts have based their prediction on the argument that Solana is one of the leading contenders in the smart contract blockchain space. If Ethereum’s Merge upgrade fails to deliver lower transaction fees, analysts believe Solana will benefit from capital rotation from the ETH network.
Experts on the panel gave the following conclusion after deliberation on whether to buy, sell or HODL Solana:
The panel is relatively split on what people should do with SOL, with 40% saying now is the time to buy, 31% saying to hold and 29% advocating selling.
