The crypto markets are starting to show some signs of positive momentum, what can be causing this shift in sentiment? When comparing this stage of the bear market to the 2018 cycle, there are some clear distinguishable differences, mainly in the amount of construction present in the market. Now there are multiple Layer 1, Layer2, and even Layer 3 blockchains on the way. NFTs can potentially blow up again with Reddit NFTs that just launched. All of this together paints a much more bullish picture than before. When shifting to the metaverse, we are witnessing the start of the content censorship debate that we predicted would happen several years ago. Now that Decentraland has a community governing the DAO, what will the they decide is the best route to regulate content that is too sexualized and potentially damaging.
