It was an another exciting week for crypto:
A loss of confidence in banks has led to a spike in crypto prices. Arbitrum, a layer 2, announced their airdrop. Ethereum staking withdraws will begin around April 12. A duplicate was discovered in Yuga Lab’s TwelveFold collection (oops!). And another sneaky NFT hack has been spotted in the wild.
In last week’s poll, we asked you about your NFT strategy: buying, selling or holding. What we learned is that roughly 60% of readers are holding their NFTs, while the remaining 40% are split evenly between buyers and sellers. Since the majority of people are holding, we want to revisit strategies for keeping your NFTs safe.

This week’s poll: What’s your strategy for keeping your NFTs safe?
Shout-out to Lazy user @AlishaAnglinArt for mentioning Lazy in her recent talk at Muhlenberg College.
“In the NFT space we as artists have the creative freedom to do what we want. Much of this freedom arrives from how NFTs open up new ways for artists to reach a broader public of collectors. This occurs globally, unlike in traditional art spaces, where creators and collectors alike are typically limited by the presence (or lack) of brick-and-mortar galleries and other local factors.” — @AlishaAnglinArt
Alisha got her start in NFTs in March 2021 after hearing Mark Cuban talk about lazy.com. Immediately after minting her first Ethereum NFT, Alisha created her account and her first piece “Sublime Fields” sold to a collector on Lazy.
We're happy to hear about Alisha’s success with Lazy & always appreciate sharing awareness. Thanks!
