I'm still trying to wrap my head around the NFT thing (I get the base concept, and I know originally it was thought of for digital ownership of home deeds, etc, which makes perfect sense to me, but everything that I'm seeing from it lately just seems like beanie baby collecting, like art and avatars and buying with the sole expectation of selling to a bigger sucker later).

Where are you going to immerse yourself into this universe and seeing the community and experimentation? I don't know where I'd even start with that.

I have a lot of crypto nerds as friends, they have a trading platform, and so they are on all the reddit/discord/telegram important channels.

I wouldn't know where to begin, because I just got dunked into it a few days ago when one my friends asked my help to code a platform to create vanity user pages. I had nothing to do, it came to me :)

Gotcha. I've been into cryptocurrencies for a long time, but I've been feeling like a bit of a luddite when it comes to NFTs, or like most people who call crypto a ponzi scheme (some coins pretty much are, but not all), and that probably means I'm missing something.

I know where to go to find good information about crypto, but not NFTs.
