According to the show's OpenSea account, the NFT floor price currently sits at around 0.003 ETH or $6 USD.

2022-05-25 14:05:04 Four-month-old Doppel is helping some of the biggest NFT projects spot scams

As NFTs have gained popularity, so, too, has NFT fraud. Copycats can quite easily upload images to an NFT marketplace, mint them and sell them to customers for profit without verifying that those images are their own intellectual property.

While NFT marketplaces are required to comply with copyright laws, NFT fraud can be tough to spot, especially since crypto wallet addresses can't always be traced to the real identities of their owners. Doppel, a startup founded in February this year by ex-Uber engineers Kevin Tian and Rahul Madduluri, just nabbed $5 million in seed funding led by crypto exchange FTX's venture capital arm to track down counterfeit digital assets.

2022-05-21 15:28:02 GameStop Jumps Into NFTs Just As The Market Collapses

The NFT market, and other blockchain-associated grifts like cryptocurrency, are having a very bad month, as their perceived “value” evaporates and whatever actual monetary value they had falls through the floor.

“The NFT market is collapsing.” Citing not only that 92 percent fall in sales, but also the extraordinary drop of “active wallets” by 88 percent since November.This is partly due, it seems, to the rising interest rates that are strangling the poorest, but in turn is causing the richest to be far less risky in their speculation. And you can’t get much more speculative than betting on mass delusion of jpeg ownership.And yet! The company chose today of all days to officially unveil its GameStop NFT marketplace with this statement, along with an empty website.
