How did Bitman enter the cryptocurrency field?
In 2021, the NFT market was like a magnificent fireworks show, dazzling and fleeting. Projects like Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Azuki emerged and attracted numerous people with dreams of overnight wealth. However, when the bubble burst and the market fell silent, how many people were able to truly profit from it and how many could persevere?
Bitman, a well-known KOL in the Taiwanese NFT circle, personally experienced the ups and downs of this market.
Before entering the cryptocurrency field, Bitman had been working in the PR industry for many years. However, behind the glamorous facade, there were endless proposals, client socializing, and round-the-clock hard work. The long-term high-pressure environment left Bitman physically and mentally exhausted, and he began to consider leaving his job to take a break. He longed to slow down his pace of life and rediscover his passion for life.
In the spring of 2021, Bitman made the bold decision to leave the PR industry. Initially, he planned to take a good rest and then reevaluate his life. However, unexpectedly, this departure became the most important turning point in his life. It was during this period of rest that he unexpectedly came into contact with cryptocurrencies, which opened the door to his adventure in the cryptocurrency field.
After chatting with friends and getting to know emerging digital assets like Cardano (ADA) and Ethereum (ETH), Bitman invested a small amount of money with the attitude of giving it a try.
At first, Bitman did not have high expectations, but to his surprise, the amount in his account magically increased. In just one week, those seemingly insignificant “small stones” multiplied two to three times and turned into a pile of shining “gold.”
This experience of entering the cryptocurrency field shocked Bitman. Subsequently, concepts like DeFi, CeFi, meme coins, and NFTs gained popularity one after another. The various new playstyles left him dazzled, but at the same time, he became deeply fascinated by this virtual world.
The most memorable experience in the cryptocurrency field?
In 2021, the NFT craze began to sweep in. Bitman discovered that NFTs were not just images but unique assets with rarity and collectible value. This reminded him of phenomena he had seen in the fields of art, luxury cars, and watches: the wealthy always liked to showcase their wealth and status through these items.
NFTs could satisfy people’s pursuit of rarity and uniqueness.
Therefore, Bitman decided to take a leap of faith. He started researching various NFT projects, participating in community discussions, and gaining a deep understanding of the value of NFTs.
In the world of NFTs, Bitman most enjoyed the feeling of opening blind boxes, saying, “You never know what you will get next, and it can always bring significant returns.”
One of the most impressive experiences for him was acquiring a vampire NFT at a low price. At that time, the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club artist created a new NFT project called “Sneaky Vampire Syndicate.” This project consisted of 8,888 unique vampire NFTs. With a try-it-out attitude, Bitman participated in the minting process and unexpectedly obtained an extremely rare “golden vampire.”
This NFT had a high value in the market. It was minted for around $300, but eventually sold for a sky-high price of $55,000. This transaction left a deep impression on Bitman.
Another interesting experience was related to zombie NFTs issued by Louis Koo. As a trendsetter, Louis Koo’s NFTs naturally attracted a lot of attention. Bitman bought some NFTs and also managed to obtain a rare mummy NFT with only about 10 in existence. He put this NFT up for auction online and unexpectedly, it was bought by another cryptocurrency KOL, Li Hali.
Bitman jokingly said, “It feels like the world is really small but also very interesting.” He described the NFT community as a small ecosystem where people gather together due to shared interests, communicate, and grow together.
These two successful transactions made Bitman deeply appreciate the charm of NFTs and increased his confidence in his investment judgment. He began to believe that the NFT market is full of infinite possibilities, and as long as one dares to try, they have the opportunity to create miracles.

Current investment strategy?
Having initially made a name for himself in the early NFT market, Bitman temporarily left the field after the “NFT bubble” burst. It was not until the end of 2024 that he reentered the NFT market.
Bitman stated that he has recently started to allocate his investments again while keeping an eye on potential projects, including blue-chip NFTs, NFTs issued on new chains, and upcoming NFT projects planning to launch their own tokens. He is also actively participating in community discussions.
Blue-chip NFTs refer to projects with large market capitalization, good reputation, and stable value appreciation, often developed by well-known artists or teams.
Bitman’s current investment allocation is mainly in the three major areas of mainstream cryptocurrencies, meme coins, and NFTs. As the NFT market has only recently shown signs of recovery, 50% of his investment is still focused on major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and SOL, and this portion of the funds is mainly held in spot positions, pursuing long-term stable returns.
While maintaining a stable investment approach, Bitman also holds a high interest in meme coins. He believes that although meme coins are highly volatile, they often create astonishing increases in value within a short period of time, bringing unexpected wealth to investors.
Is NFT dead?
Since the fervor of 2021, the NFT market has experienced a long winter. Numerous projects disappeared, and trading volumes decreased, leading many to feel pessimistic about the future of NFTs. “NFT is dead” has become a topic of joking among many people in the cryptocurrency community.
However, Bitman does not share this opinion. He believes that the NFT market is just going through an adjustment period and is brewing for a new breakthrough.
“If you look at OpenSea (an NFT platform), you can see that since the end of 2024, the trading volume on the platform has started to skyrocket,” Bitman continued, “From the data, you can tell that the users have come back.”
However, users putting some funds into the NFT market is just the first step of the “NFT spring.” There are two more points worth observing.
Key point one: Platform management strategies
The development of the NFT market largely depends on the strategies of the trading platforms. These platforms, as the main venues for NFT transactions, have a direct impact on the market’s activity and capital flow.
The platforms’ policies and measures, as well as how they can actively encourage users to participate in transactions, introduce effective incentive mechanisms, and create better trading experiences, will directly influence the future direction of the NFT market. Only when the platforms genuinely consider the interests of the users and introduce more policies beneficial to them can more capital flow into the NFT market, thereby promoting the overall industry’s flourishing development.
Key point two: Development of NFT projects
The trends in the NFT market, especially the actions of blue-chip NFTs, affect the entire market. These blue-chip NFTs act as market indicators, and any of their movements can attract attention and imitation from investors.
Using the example of Bored Ape Yacht Club’s launch of their own token in late 2024, this not only stimulated the recovery of the NFT market but also triggered associations and expectations for other NFT projects to issue their own tokens. This acts as a signal, prompting other project teams to start moving and hinting or planning to issue their own tokens.
Bitman believes that the movements of these blue-chip NFTs play an important guiding role in the development of the entire NFT market. Their successful models and innovative playstyles will influence the development direction of other projects and even drive the growth of the entire NFT market.
Taking into account the above two points and the current state of the NFT market, Bitman is optimistic about the first quarter of 2025.
The future of the NFT market?
Although Bitman had felt disappointed with the NFT market in the past and temporarily left, he has always maintained a very optimistic attitude towards the future development of the NFT market.
He believes that NFTs have a wide range of applications, not just in the traditional art collecting field but also in various other fields such as gaming, music, virtual worlds, identity verification, supply chain management, and even the currently popular AI (artificial intelligence).
Bitman expressed great anticipation for the future combination of AI and NFTs. He believes that the current integration of NFTs and AI is not close enough but definitely has room for development.
“Can you imagine? If in the future, the appearance of NFTs will change based on the holder’s on-chain behavior data, such as the types of NFTs in your wallet, transaction habits, etc., and these unique parameters are then trained by AI to generate your NFT’s appearance. Wouldn’t that be super cool?”
This statement is not just an interesting imagination but also contains the infinite possibilities of NFT’s future development. This dynamic change in NFTs is not just a visual presentation; it represents the on-chain footprint and personal preferences of the user. Each NFT will become a unique individual, recording their on-chain story and serving as a unique digital identity proof for each person.
Of course, the NFT market also faces challenges, such as incomplete regulations and difficulties in implementing practical applications. However, Bitman believes that these problems will eventually be resolved as technology advances and the market matures.
“The future of NFTs is full of infinite possibilities,” Bitman firmly stated. “I look forward to seeing more applications of NFTs in the future, injecting new vitality into the NFT market.”
In Bitman’s eyes, NFTs are not just an investment tool but also a bridge connecting the virtual and real worlds. He believes that NFTs will play an increasingly important role in people’s lives, bringing more convenience and joy.
