Which means that as investors we’re no longer trying to “catch a falling knife.”

We have the chance now to examine all the fallen knives that are now stuck in the butcherblock, and we can determine which projects are truly undervalued and that we might want to grab on the cheap.

That’s what I have been doing of late with some investible cash. I’ve been wading into certain projects and buying here and there because I also see a lot of opportunities in this market right now — projects priced from a couple of SOL to those that are tens of SOL.

To that end, I’ve been metaphorically strolling through the warzone of bloodied NFTs, looking for those that are basically the walking wounded — projects that are distressed (some deeply) amid the ongoing FUD, but which are clearly going to survive to see a brighter tomorrow.
