There's something amusing about how NFT traders have rebranded themselves as digital art collectors. The label sounds better on social media, right? You're not flipping JPEGs for profit—you're a serious curator of blockchain-based art. Thing is, when the market rallies, everyone's suddenly an artist patron. When it crashes? Most are gone. The gap between actual collectors (who hold for passion) and traders (who chase the next 10x) keeps widening, yet both use the same vocabulary. It's become the ultimate flex—calling yourself a connoisseur while watching real-time charts.
