Latest Mint: MoonBird Criticism

MoonBirds were criticized from the jump about their high mint price, and that isn’t slowing down one bit. There’s increased criticism over the last day regarding MoonBirds being gifted to celebrities and influencers. Nonetheless, price action around the project still remains strong, as the floor is now surged strongly above 30ETH, and volume within the project is still far above any other collection currently. The floor over the past 24 hours (at time of publishing) has risen by over 35%, according to Nansen data.

Sports & NFT Update: UFC’s Nate Diaz & NBAxNFT’s Latest

UFC fighter Nate Diaz has been making the rounds over the past day after tweets from Wednesday gained traction regarding the fighter’s disdain for the UFC’s latest NFT release via Dapper Labs. Diaz accuses the league of taking advantage of a situation for personal gain in releasing NFTs on 4/20 (widely considered a ‘cannabis holiday’) after suspending his brother from the league for several years for cannabis use.

Meanwhile, the NBA continues to take a toll with it’s NBAxNFT project, dubbed ‘The Association.’ After major flaws were exposed in the project’s contract, the team released an update early on Thursday that resulted in an expansion of minting from the initial 18,000 to 30,000. If you’re familiar with NFTs, you can guess how the community reacted to that news.
