💎 SHINE LIKE A DIAMOND

Not sure if this is what Rihanna meant by “shine like a diamond,” but we take what we can get.

Magic Eden has announced Diamonds, the newest iteration of their rewards system. Starting today, every time you sell an NFT and bids are accepted, you will earn diamonds.

NFT MFers going to start proposing to their girls with Magic Eden Diamonds. Just wait. So, you’re probably wondering what can you get for this virtual purple rock?

The more diamonds you have, the more of a chance you have to receive:

  • Whitelists

  • Launchpad Access

  • Future free discounts

Magic Eden has really stepped up their game over the last few months. It's obvious they are not going down without a fight and plan on hanging with the big dogs.

Currently, Magic Eden is the only NFT marketplace where you can buy SOL, ETH (soon), MATIC, and BTC NFTs, and they are likely not going to stop there. This is great for exposure.

If things continue as they are, there is a good chance these Diamonds could bring some killer opportunities. For what specifically is yet to be seen. However, as the saying goes, time in the market always beats timing the market!

Just don’t look at your portfolio when you tell yourself that, though.
