Collectors are the pinnacle of this space there is no doubt. However, founders that are pushing away flippers is a strategic mistake in my opinion. Market participants operate on a spectrum. Some are long-term focused. Others are traders. Both play a role in ecosystem health. Flippers contribute liquidity. Liquidity contributes visibility. Visibility contributes relevance. Projects need to stay relevant to survive. Every transaction generates data, volume and royalties. Volume attracts attention. Attention drives discovery. Discovery brings in new participants some of whom evolve into long-term collectors. The strongest projects don’t divide their audience into “good” and “bad” actors based on holding time. Instead, they create an environment compelling enough that over time, more participants choose to stay.
