10/04/2023 The Rolling Stones Shy Away From Using the Term "NFTs" in New Project

The negative publicity around NFTs and crypto have galvanized some to drop the word altogether from their marketing efforts.

The Rolling Stones Shy Away From Using the Term "NFTs" in New Project

In April, the British rock band The Rolling Stones will unveil 40 photos linked to NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. These will largely focus on “historical moments captured from various tours over the 1960s-1990s” and be priced between $199 to $300.

There’s just one catch: none of the NFTs will be officially referred to as digital collectibles or NFTs. Instead, fans can expect to receive a “Digital Certificate of Authenticity,” otherwise known as a DCOA.

The NFTs will be put out byGlobe Entertainment and Media, and the Web3 company OneOf.

As NFTs grow in popularity across the media and entertainment industries, there is a growing push to drop the NFT label altogether because of high-profile scandals, rug pulls, and scams associated with the crypto and digital collectibles industry.

Last month, the marketing for Hollywood’s latest vampire movie starring Nicolas Cage –Renfield– featured NFTs without the term "NFT" – a trend that is likely to accelerate as more people link the nascent industry with cons and swindles.

The Investor's Dream
The second "Visual Toy" about cryptocurrency and its universe that continues the exclusive collection on this theme. After the first Visual Toy, dedicated to the cryptocurrency itself, this visual toy is the other side of the coin. It represents, as its title tells us, the investor's dream, the current person and his financial hopes. A surreal fantasy of the dreams and longings of every investor, in this case the crypto investor. In this magical, happy and colorful dream, aspirations of all kinds intermingle, both the desire for great benefits, represented in a long animation that shows us a production cycle or series production that ranges from the gastronomic recipe of a two-ingredient cake. Bitcoin slice and Ethereum smoothie, passing through magic, represented in a fairy that transforms the cake into real money, which is sucked into a giant capsule to accumulate it and multiply it. The rest is full of investor aspirations, which appear in their dreams in the form of profits or screens that announce that values are rising steadily, as well as physical possessions, such as the sailboat, the helicopter, homes and other objects or possibilities. A dream full of happiness, fun and hope.
