FREE NFTs!!!

Social media is no stranger to NFTs. Twitter and Reddit are riding the wave at the moment. 🌊

Recently, Twitter gave away 140 free NFTs through Rarible, a marketplace. Twitter posted seven tweets yesterday showing off the digital art— 20 copies of each going for $0. The pieces were titled “Furry Twitter,” “Vitamin T,” and “Reply Guy,” to name a few.

To claim one of these bad boys, reply to any of the tweets. It’s unlikely you’ll win anything, though (because everybody is doing it). 😂

Reddit’s also offering NFTs, but not for free. The platform unveiled ‘CryptoSnoos’ of its alien mascot ‘Snoo.’ Reddit will auction off three CryptoSnoos: Block, Helium, and Snooprematic. You can find them on OpenSea until July 1.

However, one of the scene’s most innovative faces might be changing tune. A new trademark application for his Yeezus brand, filed May 27, was done so in a peculiar category: “blockchain-based non-fungible collectibles, assets, currencies and tokens” and “online retail store services featuring downloadable movies, videos, television, music, entertainment, digital art.”

Are NFTs in Decline? Here’s Two Takes.

Two recently-published articles offer a glimpse at two sides of a debate about the health of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as an asset class.

The first of these pieces, “NFT Sales Are Flatlining”, was published in the Wall Street Journal yesterday. It represents an alarmist take on the health of the marketplace. A response piece published hours later in Cointelegraph offers a more optimistic take with different data.
