I can't comment on NFT's, but I can for Trading apps.
I did have the 2019 16" Intel 16GB 1TB model, and would use Prorealtime Charting linked to IG, and also starting using Trading View.
With those running and various Safari/Chrome tabs open etc, the CPU would be running high, temps would burn my legs off if I tried using it as an actual Laptop. The fans would sound like something about to take off from Heathrow and the Battery would die in about 1hr30mins. Pretty grim.
I got the 2021 16inch M1Pro 16GB 1TB model yesterday.
I loaded everything up and to test it out also opened up Final Cut Pro and rendered some 30min 4K footage and at the same time watching loads of 4K HDR on YouTube, Logic Pro and a load of other stuff.
The result - It didn't even break a sweat, chassis was cold to the touch, absolutely silent. I did this on Battery as well. It lasted from 1pm yesterday and only needed plugging in about 10am this morning. The evening I was only using it for light browsing and YouTube but still.....the old one would die a death with just that.
Colour me impressed

This is the memory usage with all the charting apps open plus loads of other stuff. The 16GB seems to be plenty for my use case, but it depends on what stuff you need at the moment and what you think for the future. The faster SSDs also make the memory swap file instantaneous. I think there are YouTube videos going over the 16GB vs 32GB performance on another thread which would be worth watching.
I know what you mean about the wait
You could always get a 16GB version and try it before cancelling your order.

Looks like you have fallen for metaverse, nft, trading hype from grifters who don't know their arm from their leg.
All these ideas existed for a long time, such as Cyber Town, Second Life and so on.
CyberTown - Wikipedia
But children use the internet. People with very little savings use the internet. People with gambling addictions use the internet. There won't be any popular 3D virtual "metaverses" with risky trades and speculative gambling. It is bad enough we have this terrible trend the last few years.
In Facebook's hands? Crazy.
Remember the controversies over loot boxes and parent's angry about the financial gamification of their children. Then redefine your expectations.

And no, I can not. In Czech you have to wait. If I buy laptop from Czech, I can not return it.
I do not understand what are you speaking about. Sorry.Looks like you have fallen for metaverse, nft, trading hype from grifters who don't know their arm from their leg.

I didn't know how to delete my own post so I stupidly wrote "delete".
Jára Tyky, how's it goin with NFT trading processes? Any recommendations about platforms? I've seen some truly nice and neet top nft collections at TopNFTCollections web-resource. It looks like collections "Bored Ape Yacht Club" and "Art Blocks Curated" are one of the most popular NFT assets nowadays.
