  • How Celebrities Are Running the Biggest NFT Scam Ever:
    After watching a recent interview between Jimmy Fallon and Paris Hilton discussing their recent purchases of Bored Ape NFTs I noticed something. It really seemed like neither of them were very enthusiastic, or knew anything about the NFTs they were talking about. Digging a little deeper I figured out why. Major celebrities like Lamelo Ball, Mark Cuban, Stephen Curry, Justin Beaber, Snoop Dog, and more are running one of the biggest NFT scams ever. In short, they partially own OpenSea, one of the biggest NFT trading platforms in the world, and by continually driving hype about NFTs, they are pulling in hundreds of millions in exchange fees. Watch the full video to find out more.

    This was the first version of the video I uploaded. Normally I do edits and refine audio levels, fix small visual errors, etc, but The Tonight Show kept taking down this video and so this is the only version I was able to win the copyright strike for. I wonder why Jimmy Fallon wants to hide this video....

Why anybody would even bother buying a picture of something when there's millions of copies online. The whole point of an NFT is its supposed to be 1 of a kind that can't be copied.

      @pt2038 2 года назад

      it's all a ruse. Anytime you search for info/benefits of a specific NFT, you'll most likely be fed a bunch of jargon. Most of the time, these NFTs are a way for some team to crowdsource their funds for developing a promised project. Some NFT perks include access to their digital space and digital products for their space, but who really cares about a digital house in a digital world, especially in 5-10 years. This video explains how the rich manipulate the market by driving up the price and unloading their NFT to a poor sob who can no longer sell, and that's why it's unethical. Even if your NFT comes with an annua party on an exclusive yacht... is it worth 300k? No. Only reason ppl buy these NFTs is because the project team promises a great return from "upcoming projects". Look at most of these NFT projects that say a whole lot of nothing. Saying there is a lot of benefit to holding the NFT without actually explaining the benefits. Bunch of empty promises from many NFT projects. You can also check the recently sold/transaction history of these NFTs and will notice little activity.

But when Gary vee bought just a few Punks he was the genius of NFT's Art is subjective so you'd think each celebrity would like a different project. Yet they are all in just a few of the main ones. Gary Vee in one of his youtube clips even admitted he called every RUclipsr that made alot of money and told them to all buy apes before he started releasing his videos about them. That triggers traders to see the huge volume and trade the momentum. Then it made Gary look smart to say see I told you they would go up. LOL Also the floor being 99 eth on those apes has been holding steady but the actual price of eth is down 57%.

They don't have intrinsic value, but to be fair lots of things don't (like the US dollar). Instead, the free market sets its price. My concern is on the price floor. For instance, if the floor price just keeps going up, and fewer and fewer bored apes get sold, what's the use in having an asset that you can't sell. At least if there wasn't a price floor (and the free market purely set the price) it would seem to make more sense no?

      @@EverythingScience It makes no sense to me why Pokemon cards go for as much as they do, but rarities make them collectable. All collectables have a floor price... Coins, cars, toys, Van Goghs, Banksys... Banksy made fun of the mayhem in price by destroying one of his pieces AT it's auction as soin as it sold, making it even more valuable, ironically. Twitter will verify if you actually own the Bored Ape anyone tries to use as a profile pic. If you take a picture of yourself with a valuable baseball card with a current newspaper for a date, it doesn't verify that you still own it if someone tries to buy it because it can be sold in minutes without a public verification (not to mention if it's a fake or not). Blockchain verifying these transactions is the game-changer. And holding an actual NFT can come with passive income and certain privileges towards additional income. This is also new to the world of collectables. For example: CyberKong holders earn "bananas" (free coins sellable or usable). People were earning $300 per day holding one earlier this year. Wowza!
