"he is always in the know"

I have a friend who is a real shaman in the NFT world. He sees promising collections when they are just hatched from the egg, and sells them while everyone else is still thinking, “it will grow up now.” Yeah, it won’t grow up — he’s already sold everything and gone to drink coffee. When I get lost in this crazy crypto zoo, he always tells me what’s trending now and what’s just another “innovative” picture of the cat in the hat. And he’s not only an NFT expert, but also keeps an eye on new AI features, so he always has fresh stories about how artificial intelligence is practically drawing its own NFTs.
