Sure, everyone's launching blind boxes lately — but here's the reality check projects need to hear.
Collectors aren't cracking these mystery packs for the actual artwork or utility inside. Whether you're dropping digital cards or 3D collectibles, the play is purely speculative. Take that recent case: one project moved over 20,000 boxes in days. Why? Whitelist hype. People weren't betting on the reveal — they were betting on resale access and airdrop eligibility.
If you're building a drop, don't confuse short-term frenzy with long-term engagement. Speculation gets the sale. Value keeps the community.

To put it bluntly, it's just a game of hot potato. Who the hell actually cares what's inside the blind box...

NFT mystery boxes have been popular for so long and there are still people who don't get it. To put it bluntly, it's all about the gambling mentality—who really cares about those pixel art images?

ngl, the whole blind box thing is just a game of hot potato—nobody really cares what's inside... everyone's just gambling on whether they can flip it or not.

Well said, that's the truth about blind boxes. Nobody really cares what's inside; they're just thinking about flipping them for a profit.

NGL, this is just the reality. The blind box craze is basically a game of musical chairs—no one really cares what's inside.
