The Celebrities We've Lost to NFTs

We have all been there. Someone you admire adds laser eyes. They have been put into the world of crypts.

Even though they are fretting about the death cross or pondering if they should use some of their dogecoin to buy aTesla, you try to maintain friendly relations. One day you log onto the social networking site and see that the ape-avatared user has a bored ape on their profile and they reply to other ape-avatared users in kind. They have gone full NFT. They are buying the dip of the market even as the value goes down. There is no better way to do that.

While lots of random people have jumped into the world of cryptocurrencies and NFTs, celebrities have played a big part in driving the market to frothy new heights. Some will be expected. We are looking at you, Kim and Tom. The number of celebrities jumping on board has grown as the temptation to cash in has grown. Some of the celebrities who are still on the Earth in body have tried to go to the moon. They will be missed.

When TikTok announced an NFT program, they were going to have the first users participate in a drop. It made sense on the one hand. Nas X has been a pioneer. After crossing over to rap and country, he became a genre- defining hip hop star. It makes sense to get into NFTs. Even if you think the aesthetic of most NFTs is like a bag of dog shit on fire, you can still get it.

The hip hop star has been outspoken about the risks of the climate crisis, and his breakthrough smash "Old Town Road" includes a reference to reversing the ongoing climate change, water pollution, and catastrophic political climate we are witnessing in these trying times. Most NFTs are being created on the Ethereum platform, which uses carbon-intensive proof of work methods to maintain its security. The TikTok NFT program collapsed, but it is sad to see the person associated with it.

We woke up to Serena Williams posting a pink ape on her account. It was heartbreaking. She followed that with a message about a company called Sorare that offers to let users experience true football connection in The Global Fantasy Football Game. Trade and collect digital cards. You don't want to see it.

Serena doesn't need to go down this road, she's the winningest tennis player in the Grand Slam era. Serena probably wants something to do since her tennis career only lasts so long. But this? Really?

Her husband is a fellow bored ape, so maybe this pivot isn't that surprising. He bought her ape as well. Ohanian wore a pin of it to the Met Gala last year. For the non-red pilled among us, we are all going to make it. Serena isn't at that level. Yet.

This one hurts. In April of last year, Edward Snowden created and sold off an NFT artwork featuring his face superimposed over the full court ruling describing how the National Security Agency broke the law. It was a landmark ruling based on the whistleblowing of Edward Snowden, and a huge deal even after he exposed what was really happening within the agency.

Even though the auction was on behalf of the Freedom of Press Foundation, it was still an auction that turned one of the most monumental moments in privacy news into a bit of a cash grab. The privacy and security issues that can come baked into NFTs, that can even be warned about by the buyer just months after the first announcement, is something that is fully aware of by the man himself. C'mon, Ed. You are better than this.

Tony Hawk is very chill. Skateboarder part rules. He shines for his running series of tweets about how people always tell him he looks like Tony Hawk, and he just rolls with it. This vibe makes Hawk's descent into NFTdom surprising. He has hawked items. There is something a little chintzy about Draft Kings of Tony Hawk doing an NFT drop. That is even cooler than a robot making a hologram. Tony Hawk is in the middle of a half pipe.

If you haven't seen the commercial yet, you should. We will wait.

Alright, now that you are back. Oh my gosh! mountaineers and explorers of days past took a risk on their own ideas, the same way that it is today, as a result of being dressed in all black and walking through a gallery. The Wright Brothers made an appearance. There are people with astronauts. In other words, it is an inaccurate portrayal of the giant scam-ridden ponzi scheme that the world of crypt is.

Water.org, the environmental non-profit he co-founded more than a decade ago, is partnering with thecryptocurrencies platform. The move would hopefully encourage donations to the nonprofit, which seeks to improve access to clean water in regions most hit by climate change. You know, nothing says fighting climate change like paying with coins.

Shatner has been riding the NFT hype train longer than most of the other names. Two summers ago, his collection of 125,000 virtual trading cards sold out in 10 minutes, leaving many Shatner stans with classic shots of the actor. A camp counselor. Being dressed like a king. And more! Right now, there is only one NFT of the guy up for grabs, and with 11 total bids on the piece, it is clear that he still has his fans willing to drop dollars on anything featuring their beloved Captain.

The greatest 3-point shooter of all time is an animal. When the whole thing was starting to take off, she created and purchased a bored ape. He has some apes from a league called the Rumble Kong League, which is a sports league in the metaverse promising a "never-before-seen basketball experience." Curry has a digital depiction of the shoe he was wearing when he broke the 3-pointer record. It's not certain whether he values them as much as the fungible version.

The phrase "EminApe" is cursed. There is nothing else you could call the Slim Shady themed ape that the rapper is sporting as his profile picture right now. The ape is the fourth NFT the rapper holds to his name. Other purchases include a picture of a skull with a feather through it and, uh, whatever the hell this is supposed to be.

These buys might be an attempt at cultural legitimacy, considering how Eminem is, at the very least, slogging through a mid-career crisis. Maybe the dude really likes spending hundreds of thousands on ape cartoons that look like him. Only Emmitt knows.

Back in 2015, Reese Witherspoon was the face of the group, doing a PSA about the importance of combatting climate change. You wouldn't think she'd be joining the NFT trend a decade later. The 2020's are full of surprises, and one of them is the obsession of Witherspoon. She has been using her profile picture on the social networking site to show off her NFT artwork.

In the near future every person will have a parallel digital identity, which is the most cringe statement she has made on the "art form".

She wrote that digital goods will be the norm. Are you planning for this?

Reese is still plugged in to the hype of thecryptocurrencies. I think it's good for her.

It is possible that Gronk followed Tom Brady down the rabbit hole because he assumed there would be snacks. gronknft dot com is a URL that exists. There are no NFTs left. If you want to get your own digital hand-signed and numbered GRONK, you can find it on the resale market.

Paris is no stranger to questionable business ventures. The heiress has at least one failed fashion line, a music career that tanked after producing a single album, and more B-grade acting roles than you can count. When NFTs became the new hot thing in the middle of last year, it shouldn't have been a surprise that the first collection by Paris was sold in April of last year.

If the phrase "Paris Hilton NFT Collection" doesn't make your head spin, then maybe the names of some of these pieces might; there's "Hummingbird In My Metaverse." There is a statue of Tinkerbell that died in 2015, as well as a statue of Iconic Crypto Queen, which features a glossy, robotic recreation of Hilton.

The first two pieces sold out very quickly, but the third piece is still being auctioned off, and is currently selling for about 2.5 million dollars.
