Ever think about timing? If AI had blown up just two years sooner, NFTs would've been a footnote nobody read. We'd have skipped that entire circus. And here's the kicker—the whole crypto space might've flatlined by 2020. No second wind. No comeback arc. Just... done. Makes you wonder how much of this industry's survival was pure luck, doesn't it? Wrong season, wrong hype cycle, game over.

To put it bluntly, the industry has survived until now purely out of luck. If the NFT trend had appeared two years later, it would have been drowned out by AI news long ago. Luck played too big a role.

Haha, that's right, luck plays a huge role—crypto survives on timing. Oh my, if things had really exploded that early, what would we even be doing now? Honestly, it all hinged on that critical moment. If not for that, we'd have nothing to do with this now. This logic is wild. If NFTs had died earlier, the whole industry would have gone down with them. Timing really is everything. Change the cycle by just two years and the whole landscape is reversed. Survivorship bias? Nope, it's just pure luck, like being fed by fate. Thinking about it still gives me chills. We almost didn't have this story at all.
