ChainCatcher news, according to Decrypt, crypto artist Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) recently stated in an interview that NFT speculators have left the market, leaving only a core group of enthusiasts who "understand the technology." "Looking back at that time, I think it's crazy because NFTs were hated for much longer than they were loved. We lost a lot of users, but those people were never here for the art; I could tell at a glance. Speculators have moved on, but people are still passionate about this stuff."
