This is not the first time we’ve seen a celebrity or influencer reveal their involvement with NFTs. Just two days ago,100 Thieves launched their first-ever NFTto celebrate taking home the championship at the 2021 LCS tournament.
YouTuber Logan Paul has also been heavily into the growing technology — so much that he’smade over $500kfrom the same project Larson is currently receiving backlash from.
NFTs continue to grow in popularity every day, with more and more people buying into the new-age technology. We’ll have to wait to see if it becomes more accepted, though.
