JPGs, electronic currency, and a moonshot speculation
It’s almost hump day, folks.
Which really means…it’s almost Friday.
Yippeee.
We actually touched on this subject several weeks ago — NFTs making their way into all sectors of the marketplace, like alcohol.
Let’s see what the latest update regarding this topic is all about.
NFTs
NFT Market Expands in Alcohol, Athletics and Art; Regulators Warn Against Crypto Risks; U.S. Agencies Target Crypto Fraud
To celebrate National Rum Day, a privately held liquor label has reportedly launched a platform from which it will auction a specially designed non-fungible token (NFT) — a 3D video that details the history and journey of the label. Sale proceeds will be donated to an initiative that helps Black-owned establishments obtain liquor licenses. In related news, having previously launched several NFTs, an international brewery has reportedly expressed interest in leveraging the NFT market and creating virtual “brand activations”. According to the company’s global head of technology the brewer’s intention is to build more “loyal and engaged communities” through the digital metaverse.
Perhaps this will be the new thing the wealthy do.
Instead of starting a winery, you create a portfolio of NFTs, illustrating a winery.
Cryptocurrencies
Crypto Market Analysis: 14th September 2021
Both bitcoin and ether are trading at lower levels after the flash crash of 7 September.
Bitcoin saw the biggest fall in value following the collapse of Tuesday. Having traded close to $53,000 the cryptoasset plummeted to as low as $43,000 within 12 hours. The price of BTC has been trading in this range since and this morning sits around $44,700.
Ether meanwhile saw a similar selloff, erasing the cryptoasset’s entire/total gains for September. ETH began a run around 1 September that saw it rise from trading levels of around $3,200 to just below $4,000. It is now however back trading around $3,300.
Cardano Twitter phishing scam warning
Scam detectors are warning of a new phishing scam affecting Twitter users.
The scam generates from Russia according to Cardano Phishing Bot on Twitter and appears to be targeting prospective Cardano investors.
The elaborate scam seems to be using old recordings of Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson to dupe would-be investors into sending amounts of ADA to the scammers.
The scam purports to be an ADA ‘lottery’. Victims are encouraged to enter the jackpot with at least 1,000 ADA to be in with a chance to win 1,000,000 ADA. There is however no jackpot, and anyone participating will lose all their tokens.
With scams becoming increasingly sophisticated in nature, crypto investors have to be ever-more vigilant to the risks of spurious offers.
It’s worth mentioning that we’ve been contacted by three scams in the past several weeks.
One pretending to be Binance, running a lotto, another claiming to be Elon Musk, and the third, inviting us to a pump and dump event for a shitcoin.
Recall your Runescape days, and stay on high alert.
There are scammers out there, everywhere.
If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
