Yeah, one employee swindled about $50k. He was immediately let go. OpenSea does $200m/day in volume. So about 20 seconds of their tx volume (not 100% sure I'm doing the math right).

lol, the conspiracy theories keep getting wilder. So it's OpenSea wash trading or their users? Pretty hard to do with a 2.5% loss on every transaction.

That's correct

The implementation is usually cryptographically signing a message from the account that owns the NFT.

Hi, I’m an NFT collector. A bunch of my friends are too.

Theranos was not a Silicon Valley darling. I don't think there were any big SV venture funds involved. It was people like Ruport Murdoch, Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, and James Mattis investing and sitting on the board.

For the clickbait content ads on Taboola and Outbrain, the strategy is ad arbitrage. The landing page is probably broken up into a slide show with many pages. The goal is to get the user to go through 30 pages (misclicking a few ads along the way) and monetize as more revenue than the cost of their visit. There are other monetization strategies for other types of ads on Taboola and Outbrain.

The idea is that the tokens won't be securities in the future. A security can eventually become a non-security.

In my experience as a Cameo customer, the videos are received very well as a gag gift. "OMG, I can't believe you got them to make me a video!"

To me, the open question is if the novelty factor will wear off. I don't think I would ever get the same person a second Cameo. I'm not even sure if I would keep buying Cameos if the service was well-known. A big part of the gag is "How did you pull that off?!" Maybe there are enough birthdays that it just doesn't matter.
