Prominent macroeconomic expert and former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal has shared his optimistic outlook on social media, highlighting the unique potential of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to transform art, investment, and digital culture.

著名宏觀經濟專家、高盛前高管 Raoul Pal 在社交媒體上分享了他的樂觀前景，強調了不可替代代幣 (NFT) 在改變藝術、投資和數位文化方面的獨特潛力。

In a series of posts on Friday, Pal, who is also the co-founder of Real Vision, discussed the key macroeconomic and generational trends that he believes will continue to drive demand for NFTs, particularly crypto art.

在周五的一系列貼文中，Pal（同時也是 Real Vision 的聯合創始人）討論了關鍵的宏觀經濟和世代趨勢，他認為這些趨勢將繼續推動對 NFT 的需求，特別是加密藝術。

“If, as Saylor says, BTC is Manhattan real estate, then the best crypto art, or NFTs, are the scarcest, most desirable block space of all,” Pal wrote in one post, drawing a parallel with physical real estate and highlighting the scarcity factor that makes crypto art valuable.

帕爾在一篇文章中寫道：「如果正如塞勒所說，比特幣是曼哈頓的房地產，那麼最好的加密藝術（NFT）就是最稀缺、最令人嚮往的區塊空間。」他將其與實體房地產進行了類比，並強調了稀缺因素使加密藝術變得有價值。

Pal went on to extol the efficiency of NFTs as investment vehicles, contrasting them with the high maintenance and storage costs associated with physical property. He also noted the cultural value embedded in crypto art, emphasizing its ability to tokenize cultural and communal experiences.

帕爾繼續稱讚 NFT 作為投資工具的效率，並將其與實體財產相關的高昂維護和儲存成本進行比較。他也指出了加密藝術中蘊含的文化價值，強調其將文化和社區體驗代幣化的能力。

“Physical property is expensive to hold as an investment and better suited as a lifestyle asset,” Pal said. “Art fills that gap, and crypto art is ultra-cheap to custody for extended periods.”

帕爾說：“作為投資持有實體財產成本昂貴，更適合作為生活方式資產。” “藝術填補了這一空白，而加密藝術的長期保管成本非常低。”

According to Pal, the NFT market has also evolved significantly since its initial boom, with a shift away from speculative trading toward long-term ownership. “The days of flipping art NFTs are largely over,” he stated.

Pal 表示，自最初的繁榮以來，NFT 市場也發生了顯著變化，從投機交易轉向長期所有權。 「翻轉藝術 NFT 的時代基本上已經結束了，」他表示。

He pointed out that the game now is to buy and hold the best artists—new or older. Demand will only grow over time while supply gets taken off the market for decades.

他指出，現在的遊戲是購買並持有最好的藝術家——新的或舊的。需求只會隨著時間的推移而增長，而供應將在幾十年內退出市場。

Despite challenges in 2024, the NFT market demonstrated resilience, with global sales volumes reaching $8.8 billion, up slightly from $8.7 billion the previous year, according to CryptoSlam. Active buyers surged by 69% year-over-year, with the number of sellers also growing by 7%.

CryptoSlam 的數據顯示，儘管 2024 年面臨挑戰，但 NFT 市場表現出了韌性，全球銷售額達到 88 億美元，略高於上一年的 87 億美元。活躍買家年增 69%，賣家數量也增加 7%。

As the new year begins, Pal's enthusiastic endorsement highlights a growing consensus: crypto art and NFTs are no longer fringe novelties but a transformative force reshaping the art and investment landscapes.

新年伊始，Pal 的熱情支持凸顯了越來越多的共識：加密藝術和 NFT 不再是邊緣新奇事物，而是重塑藝術和投資格局的變革力量。
