Raoul Pal, Real Vision CEO and macro-investing bigwig, just dropped a bombshell: NFTs are the “single best long-term store of wealth.” Yep, you heard that right. In a social media post that had crypto folks buzzing, Pal argued that with currency debasement and tech trends going haywire, owning NFTs is like owning a secret golden ticket.

His take? “You don’t own enough crypto. When you do, you don’t own enough NFTs, as art is upstream of wealth. Both will never be this cheap again.” Bold!
Lark Davis, a fellow influencer, nodded along, admitting he’s low on NFTs but ready to dive in this cycle. Pal cheekily suggested, “Just buy a Punk as a starter,” nodding to those iconic CryptoPunks everyone knows.
The Great NFT Debate: Goldmine or Hype Train?
But hold up, this didn’t sit well with all. While some fans praised Pal’s knack for spotting macro trends early, calling NFTs “digital property’s undervalued OG,” others were quick to slam the idea. The NFT market is still licking its wounds after the 2021 hype crash, with critics calling the space “overhyped” and stuck in a “liquidity desert.”
Investor Fred Krueger was blunt, quoting Pal with a sarcastic “I kid you not.” Gary Cardone and others weren’t far behind, questioning if this hype train is leaving the station at the wrong time.
I kid you not.

So, the NFT debate rages on. Are these tokens the next digital gold or just another speculative bubble? Pal’s fans say it’s a no-brainer; skeptics aren’t convinced yet. Meanwhile, the NFT world keeps spinning, somewhere between buzz and bust.
