NFTs can still be paving the way.
But it doesn't mean it has to be PFPs.
It can still be tied to the NFT tech.
Something like a Decentralized Identity fits perfectly!

How so?
• Onchain identity is needed and applicable to everyone
• Ownership
• There's a stigma around NFTs yet it doesn't need to be mentioned and we are talking about identity
• SocialFi is starting to take off
• Identifier is helpful for future applications
But what about GameFiâť“
Many people think it would be the next hot thing!
The tech isn't quite ready yet.
2027-2028 looks better for that when Ethereum is more scaled and we have privacy options with zero-knowledge proofs
Additionally,
RWAs (Real World Assets) would be also a great fit to gain traction sometime after 2025 till 2028.
Where do you see the biggest potential in the crypto space?
