I’m a bit collector of VeeFriends as I mentioned in a prior post. I have a big stack of Shaq Gives Back NFTs. A project launched by The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation that raised $2.5 million for the nonprofit.

I ran/run the social media accounts for the project and moderate the Discord server. When people began calling the project a “scam” and “rug pull” I knew NFTs were in trouble. A project that was solely about raising funds for the nonprofit with no roadmap promised was being pumped and then called a scam. Was eye opening and I am thankful to learn many lessons. I say ran/run because I never got paid and don’t have the time to do much for it at this time.

I still believe in the project and think the blockchain will usher in the new era of the internet. Time will tell!
