The battle of Opensea Pro and Blur is just beginning.
Opensea has announced its latest release: Opensea Pro. This is their direct answer to you-know-who (Blur). What have they changed.
Here are the main differences:
• Live mints
• 0% listing fees
• Mass purchases, offers and listings
• Faster metadata/updates on the collection
• Gas optimization
• Aggregation of marketplaces (170+ markets in 1).
One thing is clear:
This is their "trading solution". An ideal product for whales/daily traders/degens. This is the best time to renew. Why?
In case you didn't know, BLUR has extended the pharma period for the Season 2 awards. Reason: They are "working on something new".
The reaction was not very good:
• Collectors are bored
• Flippers are upset
• Drop farmers are tired.
This disappointment is due to a change in attitude towards NFT. The "value" or "appeal" of collecting cool NFTs has disappeared. They are treated as financial assets: stocks, coins, jpeg.
The NFT space is boring. We have seen how this boredom manifests itself in the market. It is the lack of excitement in NFT that is the reason that Nakamigos is doing well. But what does it mean for us?
Short answer: it's great for us (collectors/merchants). When companies compete, their users win.
The longer answer has several arguments:
1. Product improvement. Opensea has taken exactly what traders like in Blur: a simple interface, easy trading (wholesale), NFT analytics. Improved them and added more features, such as Live Mints and instant sales on all markets.
2. Better incentives. The OS saw how the token farming game was being played out. We probably won't see $OS. They are located in the USA, and the token will only cause problems.
