2. Vitalik Buterin: NFT needs to experience multiple winters to understand its long-term value

Vitalik said at the Wanxiang Blockchain Summit that both #DeFi and NFT have developed very well, but he believes that there is a phenomenon that people are working so hard that make DeFi complicated. For example, yield farming makes smart contracts appear risks, and the risks may be greater than benefits. He believes that the most useful protocol is the simplest.

He also believes that NFT is very valuable. It has given creators a brand new business model, but he reminds that people should not assume that NFT is economically sustainable in its current form, and that NFT needs to experience multiple winters. “We have seen that projects in this field perform well in 6 months to 1 year, but they will become obscure in 1-2 years. I think we have to wait patiently and we must understand that how long-term sustainable NFTs will be.”
