Some people are spending millions of dollars on NFTs like crazy these days.They buy so-called NFT art sold out for ten million of dollars (USD) as their Avatars of social platforms.
It sounds ridiculous,which is exactly its charm.
For what I know, crypto behaves in strange and bizarre ways. First it was the ICO hype. Then came the "De-Fi" hype. And now it's the NFT hype. Who knows what the next big thing in crypto will be?

This is so true of the trends in the cypto space. You really cannot tell what the next big thing will be but you can follow up with what the current big thing is, until it leads you to the next big thing. i feel that is how this space works.

anyways, if you are a hedger or a big bull, you could begin the next big thing in this space and get the support of those that love your idea.

i am glad that finally the people can decide what happens to their resources and not wait on politicians and the government...

NFT is the current big thing going on

Now DeFi sphere and NFT spheres are very popular and of course while these spheres are popular people are trying to earn as much as possible on it, but we know that soon the hype around the NFT sphere will fall and then those people who invested in NFT will simply lose money, and some people will lose very huge money, but millionaires and billionaires like to buy all sorts of NFTs for huge amounts, so I don't think they will be upset, and in general the NFT sphere helped the cryptocurrency market to grow very much, so maybe the NFT sphere will still show itself.

everything has its own time and indeed for now it seems that NFT dominates even if I can say it's overhyped because now everything has to be NFT and most projects are now based on NFT.
What I'm worried about is that if it's overhyped like this, of course, the expectations for NFT will also increase and this will actually be less good for the future of NFT because the reality of our expectations sometimes doesn't match, and finally disappointment appears and slowly disappears like other times. you say in ico and defi.

So true, It's been a good year for NFTs since it offers like you said charm that makes people get hyped. But I think it will be temporary as the market will change. We should be adaptable because the market
won't wait for you, you will get behind

This question is worth millions of dollars. Predicting trends and buying for profit is something we all aspire to. Each market trend lasts several weeks to several months. I've seen DEFI, MEME and now NFT. Maybe higher-ranking members will have a satisfying answer. I'm turning on notifications for this topic :D

This is why NFT's not much of interest to me. You never know when you will hang out your millions of dollars middle of no where and there wont be anyone to buy it from you. The investment would be nothing much but an NFT thats all. In the mean time, to answer your second question I think someone at the corner of world might be working to make another break through! May be someone thinking to create tech will allow us to own real estate lands across the international border sitting at your home country. Anything can happen through these contract stuff. May be I will be landlord of your property in my country for which I will have an crypto based contract etc.

This is crypto, this is borderless and that's what making it way bizarre yet interesting to invest.

You don't have to chase every trend, you can make good money staking or farming on Pancakeswap or Ref Finance. If you want to know what's next though, it's gaming on the blockchain. Look into games like the six dragons, gods unchained, and Hash Rush.

There are people who have lot of money to spend so they can buy or invest on something completely blind and if they don't get any returns they are not going to make them to suffer that kind of people are only investing on such things for their pride and publicity but in real who wants to make some money should choose their assets very cautiously and for long term.

I started a similar thread in which I expressed similar thoughts. The introduction of NFT has made the world become selfish, called it adoption.  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5358437.msg57869473#msg57869473) In my opinion, many people will have regrets with this fomo they are all into.
I mean, have a look at the punk below, it was just sold for approximately 2000 worth of Ether, does this warrant this price, I will pass, and I will rather hold my ether bag till my dying moment. I've seen how precious artistic designs are and how they're auctioned off, but this one is insane.

If it is a future gem, I believe the inventor will just keep minting and storing them for future use, they will not simply make a picture and post it to opensea in search of possible purchasers to grab their ether.

No one knows. Just try to spread your assets on different fields and who knows that could be the next generation hype. Nft still resides on defi hype which can be use to a lot of use cases. Its not just a random trending now. Maybe the shitcoin fest is the one seasonal and no additional benefit on the market compared to that.

The next hype is likely to be blockchain-based gaming platforms using NFT gamification with Yield Farming to maximize player rewards and keep them in the game. Players will be able to receive rewards in the form of NFTs, and then put these rewards on the gaming platform to make a profit. I think this will be the trend of 2022.

It's definitely ridiculous.

I think that at the end of the day, people have way too much cash on their hands and they are simply trying to find a place to dump that excess liquidity.

That is pretty much the only use of NFTs, apart from (potentially) being a money laundering device. I do not believe in the long term viability of these collectables, although applied uses like music licensing could be possible.

that's why the trend was still unpredictable. It caused by people will always discover a new thing that can be hyped like defi and NFT but it seems like what we will see the next development on the defi and NFT.
Bring a new trend to the market was a difficult thing as it must be something news that has not yet adopted by people. The things like defi and NFT can be developed into the various things.
It's quite difficult to think about what will become the next thing. Some platforms were trying to develop a new thing. Maybe there will be a new trend in the crypto gaming to use AR or something else but who knows.
The time will tell us about this in the future. I guess there will always be manipulation on the NFT sale. People wasting millions money just for garbage art. that's totally non sense thing these days but that's the power of hype

I think the next trend in the crypto world is DAO. This concept has been proposed many years ago. However, the contract required by DAO is 10 times more complicated than Defi. If DAO can emerge, it will definitely cause a trend.

Their collectibles, so it must be long term to gain value.
It's like keeping a Jordan shoes signed by Michael Jordan himself and when time flies by the value of it grows to a value no one will expect especially in auctions.
NFT's is a way to keep the item mint but the downside is the hacking issue or just being careless with your computer connected in the internet.
I think NFT can stay for a long time but the hype will subside, maybe in 2 - 3 years and another platform will float.
As to the question of OP with what will it be, who knows, a genius may have been born but he is still in the learning phase of discovering it.

You just need to be good at dealing with Hype conditions, regardless of what consequences you will get when the Hype ends, people will immediately welcome the next Hype.
Nothing is impossible in the crypto industry, there will always be innovator changing each other. Starting from DeFi which is now drowning from its community who knows nowhere, now the earth is booming with NFT everywhere. It has become a natural cycle. People will flock from one Hype to another, taking; profit and go find another profit center.

You might be right somehow, it has been introduced for a while now and hasn’t got much traction yet, and i didn’t even think this might trend buh am now having a rethink tho , who knows it might be the next trend in the space. I think crypto gaming might be the next trend as recently gaming projects has been gaining more traction and growth. Well between this two concepts one might be the next big thing. I really got interest with DAO buh still loves gaming that’s why I chooses $Near, it’s network system supports the both.

The best thing is to keep your mind and option open and adapt to the market trends. Nobody can know what the next big thing is but with a flexible mind it should be possible to enter the new craze.

In my view, NFTs is only the beginning, their opportunity can literally be limitless. At the end of the day, people are all about exclusivity, ownership and non-fungibility.

You are right. I have also the feeling that nft hype and trends will not end here but also will expand more in the future. I noticed lately, that some platform are doing nft section of their product which they dont have before, it just show that they wanna join the league of nfts. Even bigger platform or known icos or institutions are adapting to it. Coca cola company had one, and some bigger ones too. Im excited that nft will continue to bloom to the next few years.

It seems that things related to smart chains or smart contract  will still be popular in the future . and NFT is currently quite hype from many investment circles. it seems that things that are investment and profitable will definitely become a trend in crypto. as previously . staking. farming. and now NFT games investment .

Yeah, we do see daily that millions are being spent for NFTs but I suspect how many are within accounts. I mean people may try to manipulate by self-buying so that real millionaires and naive investors may change their mind. Even this is an old practice, when it is happening in big numbers lead me to worry on this. Because, I do not want to see fellow crypto investors to be the last buyer for any of fake hyped NFT. Still, it must be individual's responsibility to stay safer with their crypto stash.

After seeing lots of hack and hijack related crypto space, I just started think like NFT also might be one the core reason why hackers and criminals get back to their illegal activities (like a tree with fruits faces lots of stone throws).

We can't really tell which will be the next big thing as there are many ideas currently in this space, and all it takes is the right time for it gain attention, and once the attention is there, every other thing is set for that trend.
Nevertheless, NFT is not as hot as it was before, or will I say a lot of other blockchains hardly experienced or partook massively in NFT, only few can be said to have experienced it good enough and that is ADA and Solana.
However, in my own opinion, the next hype might be on what a particular ecosystem is offering, and if a careful look is taken on this space, one can see the level of seriousness going on with many blockchain networks now, Algo, Fantom, Polygon, Avax and list goes on. Many projects are being developed on these blockchains and one can only be patient to see what will happen next.
Lastly, I also think Defi is not yet done, moreover it is the most lasting trend we have seen so far, thus many blockchain platforms can bank on it again to offer their own unique services.

Too young to die I guess, the hype might stay for a while as many NFT project still growing and if those project was able to compete, then you might see their new ATH. I invest on some NFTs and I know its really worth it because the hype is still there and some are indeed a good one. NFT art might not that worth it if you’re a small time investor, but if are willing to spend that much on an art, then be ready for the risk.

According to some analytics the next successful thing will be multifunctional projects. I follow some bloggers and now they start investing in them. Actually, it is really convenient, when you don't need to use different platforms, you can just come to one and do everything on it. To have a general idea of what I am talking about, jsut take a look at BOT for example. It has exchange, wallet, marketplace, messenger and even NFT-game.

Some do this for collection and some for business and profits. Well we are just on the tip of the ice berg, and I can see more potential on blockchain nfts. Well axie really did a good leading them all, and due to that hype everyone are looking forward to nft trend.

It's true, lately NFT does make small investors feel crazy and unreasonable when they see ordinary things but have fantastic value for big investors or rich people out there. they are willing to spend a lot of money to fulfill their desires. and I'm sure in the future there will be another hype in the crypto world as a continuation of the current trend.

NFTs and defi are here to stay. They bring real world value to everyone. I think the next big thing is going to be play to earn games, we’ve already seen games like AXIE blow up and I think that there will be many more to come. So many people love gaming, so why wouldn’t you love making money while you’re gaming, it just makes sense.

all I know is that the current cycle is overhyped. The second we have more practical applications for nfts is the second we’ll have more adoption. I personally have my eye on the nft marketplace 4K (4K.com) where they back nfts with physical assets like watches

i don't think there will be any new big technology that will drive crypto again apart from these two current trends. DEFI and NFT. I THINK THEY ARE NOT HYPE. they are proper methods and ways not only to promote but to adopt crypto. cryptocurrency adoption is still on going. i think Defi and NFT will go along way in this current trends. the huge amount of funds that Defi introduced into crypto remains the main reason it will last for long.

It is a new opinion which is quite reasonable, so I think I can support it. Actually, there are new upgrades of Ethereum all the time and they make us closer to Ethereum 2.0. which is likely to change the things on this market as I think when Ethereum 2.0. launches, it will become cheaper and as a result investors who moved to alternative chains, will come back.

The fire caused by the uniqueness of NFT. Others may have different opinion than you. When you're saying that's ugly but people may see that from the different view like it has only a few NFT. You can see cryptopunk or something else. Some people were judging this kind of NFT has no value but people who bought it has different reason.


NFT market was a free market, when you're seeing an ugly picture that valued at 1 ethereum and that's the price created by the owner of such NFT. You can't put the standard value on it as the creator of NFT itself will be offering what rate that will be suitable for his own NFT to be bought by others. I think that you must understand about this reason.

My response is a little late as we are already in the middle of the next hype and this time it is around play-to-earn games that are running on the blockchain. Axies infinities is definitely the leading project their and everyone that has started playing this game a few months ago can now earn a nice amount of money every month with playing a game, which is crazy. At the moment there are launching new play-to-earn games every day and of course 95% of them suck and just want to ride the hype-wave, but i hope that some of those games are actually doing well and will be still here and played in a few years. I invested a small amount of money into Wanaka Farm and i hope it turns out well.

Be very careful, it seems more and more obvious to me that a great deal of those ‘sales’ are manufactured and were not legitimate and most likely it was done to deceive investors or it is just a way to launder money.

Think about it, a scammer could create a NFT, buy it himself for all the money he has, establishing a base price for his NFT, then he does this over and over again and now it seems as if all is art is selling for high prices, then finally the previous buyers of their works, which was no one else but himself, put their works for sale and now they earn a lot of money, I am sure this is happening all over the market and as such I would not spend any time thinking about it or about what is next big scam that is coming to the market.

As of recently, there are enough people, celebrities, and high-fashion companies trading and creating NFTs to make them a hot commodity in the crypto community, especially in regards to the technical arts. number.
NFT's advantages include its ability to protect the intellectual property rights of the work, lower barriers to entry into the art market for the sale of artwork, and the ability to verify ownership.
On the other hand, NFTs are often digital copies of real works and therefore do not provide any added value; artists can easily decide to sell as many copies of the work as possible, thereby devaluing its reproducibility; In fact, the market seems to be in a bubble phase and the regulatory issues have not been resolved.
NFT is a market based on hype.

Presently DeFi circle and NFT circles are exceptionally well known and of course whereas these circles are prevalent individuals are attempting to win as much as conceivable on it, but we know that before long the buildup around the NFT sphere will drop and after that those individuals who contributed in NFT will basically lose cash, and a few individuals will lose exceptionally gigantic cash, but tycoons and extremely rich people like to purchase all sorts of NFTs for tremendous sums, so I do not think they will be disturbed, and in common the NFT circle made a difference the cryptocurrency showcase to develop exceptionally much, so possibly the NFT circle will still appear itself.

The next big thing in crypto is the metaverse. We will see farms and AMMs and lending platforms like Qubit, Burrow, Ref Finance, Spookyswap, Alpaca in VR space in the metaverse. You can walk into one of these dapps and interact with it, just like you would a bank. Staff can be on site to assist you.

I've had a hunch what the next big thing will be: Metaverse.
Nobody really knows what's behind it yet, but since Facebook renamed itself and Zuckerberg presented his idea of Metaverse, there are more and more crypto projects advertising it. So, hype is slowly incoming!  :D
