“Long-term holders always lose to traders.”
No. Long-term holders only lose when the system rewards trading. When the system rewards patience, like Checks or Opepen, they win.
Checks: $8 mint (95k trading volume)
Opepen: free mint (88k trading volume)
Traders flipped a few times. Collectors built wealth and legacy. Single Check holders have been rewarded multiple times with new artwork, access, and recognition from Jack himself. Not because they traded, because they held.

I'm going to explain the problem with NFTs
The problem isn’t that people don’t have money, and it isn’t farmers, flippers, or jeets. Those exist in every market.
The real issue is that Long term holders lose almost every time to traders and the only real pumps come from token announcements. People buy them for the tokens, not the NFTs themselves.
Why would they ?
They never hit new highs, while tokens keep doing it. Doodles Token made an ATH but the NFT barely broke 1 ETH.
If they can’t stand alone as an investment, they need to be tied to tokens. That’s the only realistic way to bring demand back. If retail won’t save NFTs, the token side might. @token_works has found a great starting point, but it doesn’t seem to be the complete solution yet. I hope they either improve it to make it work or inspire another project to do so.
Right now the only upcoming catalysts are Abstract, Otherdeed and the OpenSea airdrop. Strangely those are all tied to tokens in some way or another.
“Only tokens pump, NFTs don’t.”
Tokens move faster, sure. They’re liquid.
But liquidity doesn’t build culture.
NFTs are slower because they compound meaning. That’s why the ones that matter still hold cultural market share long after every token retrace.
“NFTs need tokens to survive.”
Wrong again, they need systems.
Tokens can amplify value, but they can’t create it. That’s why @token_works, CheckStrategy, and BLKCHK are interesting.. they recycle volume back into buybacks, burns, and royalties.
It’s tokenization as infrastructure, not incentive.
“Retail won’t save NFTs.”
They don’t have to. Collectors already are.
Time in the market always beats trying to time the market.
Trading can make you rich fast, but it can also wreck you faster, especially when you start using leverage.
Collectors sleep peacefully, traders don’t get to sleep enough.
The winning formula isn’t attach a token = problem solved, because not every collection needs a token to survive.
There are still countless collectors who buy simply because they love the art. No token. No staking. No gimmicks.
That’s the part most people underestimate.
Because every community begins with a few people who simply care about good art.
As culture is built by taste, not tokens.
Waking up to short-term traders trying to lecture collectors who’ve been here for years… Kinda funny, when you think about it.
