Two decades ago, the peer-to-peer file sharing business was in full force. Among the leaders in this space was Limewire, one of the peer-to-peer file sharing companies that ended up going the way of Napster. However, this brand is coming back, with chatter around LimeWire non-fungible tokens (NFTs) picking up recently.
That’s right, every millennial’s favorite black market streaming service is coming back to life. Limewire NFTs are reportedly coming to market in May, in a launch that many are interested in right now.
Indeed, this brand is one with a significant cachet. For those who witnessed the transition from physical music to digital files that could be (and were) shared in violation of copyright laws, the early 2000’s were an interesting time. Limewire’s brand is one that many attributed their childhood too.
Let’s dive into a few things investors may want to know about this new NFT launch.
