Why are mfers NFTs So Popular?
Many people may be baffled as to why someone would pay $40,000 or more for a stick figure drawing since there is no utility or future roadmap with the mfers’ NFT collection.
The answer is community. mfers have become prevalent in the NFT Twitter world. Some even predict that they could become the next blue-chip NFT. This is because Sartoshi did not create the community through a whitelist. The project grew organically out of shared interest.
The term “blue chip NFT” refers to a project that will hold its value for a long time.

Part of the success may be attributed to the attributes and how relatable the design is. The stick-figure drawing’s posture is similar to that of someone sitting at a desk, staring at a computer screen. Which, in today’s world, is something that everyone can relate to. Simple accessories, hairstyles, and facial expressions provide the ideal canvas to identify with.
The End of Sartoshi
Unfortunately, in June 2022, Sartoshi decided to do like the real Satoshi. Yes, the NFT influencer deleted his profile and transferred the contract ownership away from himself. However, he wasn’t done that easily. Sartoshi left a cryptic goodbye message and dropped a final NFT to say goodbye. Many on crypto twitter saw this as a rugpull, seeing as Sartoshi kept 20% of the profits himself. On the other hand, he did tell his fans he would be leaving, so some say the drop is merely a piece of history.
