Do you think they all fell for it or do you think some were just exploiting it?
I agree by the way, it's just I hesitate a bit because a lot of people speaking positively of NFTs were too smart to be mindlessly bullish. I suspect some of them thought it would make for positive press and drive some hype. Like with Elon and Bitcoin/Dogecoin. I'm convinced 90% of the stuff he says and does is to keep Tesla and himself in the news.
A lot of people were exploiting it, with one of the most egregious examples being Long Island Ice Tea, who apparently have been in trouble with the SEC recently too.

The connotation that no news is bad news is just such a sad statement on the human condition. If you're in the news for wrong reasons with negative connotations && still maintaining an overall positive image, then WTF is wrong with people?
When a particular individual continues to be theirself in public like this, each instance makes me think less and less of them. It then starts to reflect on the compan[y|ies] they represent. I used to regard Tesla very highly, but no longer. The more they focus on FSD and stop progressing EV cars more in general, the less I care about Tesla. To the point now, I no longer consider them as a car I'd like to buy. I'm still holding onto liking SpaceX notwithstanding the CEO.
