"This tool really helped me unload those embarrassing early NFT Hype investments. Should shave about $1000 off my tax bill", a supposed user writes in a testimonial blurb on the site (although the testimonials appear to be faked).

@izzion I mean, that is a clever business idea. Not even that expensive. Probably can hook at least one gullible investor on that.

And today in "let's jump on the bandwagon far after the parade is already over":
tl;dr:
As we truly believe we're breaking new ground in making blockchain techology that is sustainable and good for society, we'd love to invite you to see what we've been building.
Of course the medal is an NFT! Amazing, I can have my very first NFT that is surely worth it's weight in gold, and on this platform I am sure wont collapse before the end date for claiming it!

Indeed.
Customers connect the BATMs to a crypto application server (CAS) that they can manage or, until now, that General Bytes could manage for them. For reasons that aren’t entirely clear, the BATMs offer an option that allows customers to upload videos from the terminal to the CAS using a mechanism known as the master server interface.

This is so stupid, I probably don't even want to know. I'm already getting a headache.

"Who was that with the crowbar who was standing in front of the ATM disassembling it?" is probably what the video upload is intended to help with.
Maybe.

We're going to need a consensus round to ratify this idea.

Got a 2.5 minute ad on Youtube. Normally I would skip it, but this was aimed towards game developers and from the start I saw that it's gonna be something stupid. Talking about how to make easy IAPs for "cross-game DLCs" shown with a laser gun purchased that only made sense in one of the games shown (and curiously not actually on show in either). Mixed stock footage of gaming (LoL was heavily shown) and CG of the app in action. Talking about how it would "get money to both influencers and developers". And it took until the halfway point until they mentioned the NFT keyword.
So it ticks all the boxes: Trying to hop onto the NFT hype train long after it left the station, aiming itself towards gaming where, you know, if there is one thing gamers have universally agreed upon it's No Fucking Tokens in my games, promising great rewards to developers (without mentioning how, you know, you need to support the damn thing), and ignoring the fact that a game dev could just implement cross-game DLC without needing to do it with NFTs.

Well yes, but it's also incredibly stupid, so with influencers, gamers and developers as target market it may succeed.

As it looks to the future, FTX is negotiating with stakeholders about options for restarting its crypto exchange, and it may make a decision on that in the current quarter, Dietderich said.
