Samenvatting:

95% of NFTs are worthless. This book is about the other 5%.In September 2023, researchers examined 73,257 NFT collections. About 69,795 of them - roughly 95 percent - had a market value of exactly zero. Twenty-three million people were holding something they'd been promised would change their lives. It had become digital dust.That is digital quicksand: a world where everything is digital but nothing is permanent. Platforms vanish. Files vanish. Communities, reach, and ownership vanish with them.This is not a get-rich-quick guide. It's written from the rubble of 2023, looking forward to a 2026 that is smaller, quieter, and finally honest. Digital Quicksand shows you the one thing that separated the artists who survived from the artists who vanished - permanence over hype - and exactly how to build on the right side of that line.Inside this book- The honest 2026 NFT reality - what died, what didn't, and why- Why permanence beats hype - build for the decade, not the month- Why Solana - fees, speed, and what it means for working artists- Your first setup - wallets, security, preparing your artwork- Minting on Bluescreen - a clear, step-by-step walkthrough- Listing, pricing & your first sale- Community, marketing & growth- Handling success - royalties, scaling, lasting collectionsWho it's for: Artists and creators of every kind who are done chasing trends and ready to build digital work that lasts.Build for the decade, not the month.
