Non fungible tokens, and Reddit collections in particular, will be successful because people love to display unique items online, as seen in gaming and forums for decades.

Non fungible tokens (used in full due to the post limit law) and Reddit’s recent collections, will be successful, and it’s because people just love to share their successes, rare items, and achievements, and have been doing so for a long time.

While a slightly biased audience, the Reddit community has been optimistic about the release of the avatars and collections, and rightly so in my opinion.

People love to share uniqueness with others, and we’ve done it for decades. From having a rare item in games such as World of Warcraft or CSGO, an achievement title to share with a username, a display picture or skin only offered for a limited time, or even going further back to having wearables that displayed rarity or status; people take pride in sharing and showing others what they have.

I think Reddit is an excellent example of a place where we will be able to develop this behaviour in a new way, with Non fungible tokens. We already offer flairs for a variety of reasons and proudly display them, and their addition contributes another aspect for users to exhibit rarity, success, or maybe achievements (in the future?)

The idea is young, but I believe the potential for Non fungible tokens has great promise, and Reddit may just reveal some of them.
