The NFT space is difficult to navigate, for newcomers and NFT OGs alike, it is impossible to track the most resourceful information. Amongst the crowd, there are a number of credible personalities, however, there are also bad actors that can guide newcomers down the wrong path. For this very reason, I have decided to compile a list of reputable names in the NFT scene each week to ensure that you find the right information quickly, and simply!
Last week’s spotlight saw 5 influencers presented, all of whom contributed something unique to the NFT space. From art, knowledge, collecting, and learning they are all invaluable sources of information.
This week, 5 more influencers have been added in reflection of what they contribute to the space. They have each grown a significant following and have helped to propel the space forward with their input and support. From my experience and from the community opinion, the 5 names on this list are important to follow and to stay up to date with.
