Toxic positivity in NFTs

On NFT influencooors

Early this year, a popular video discrediting NFTs made its rounds. One of the points is about specific lingo (gm/wgmi) which exhibit cult-likely tendencies that are predatory towards newer individuals. And for some reason or another, this positive toxicity has pervaded into NFT culture.

Weirdly enough, some people have made toxic positivity their entire persona, like Farokh, who seem to be received quite well in the community despite using their followers as exit liquidity.

Immediately listing multiples for sale after posting an engagement tweet will attract buyers. Farokh not seeing anything wrong with this behaviour, it’s no wonder why NFTs are so poorly perceived by the public. This type of behaviour is especially dangerous for newcomers if they perceive these people as experts, given that this space has only really started to flesh itself out within the last year.

Anyway, if you’re just getting started, stay safe out there.
