Hasan slams celebrities who promote NFTs: \u201cYou\u2019re an idiot\u201d HasanabiTwitch star Hasan \u2018Hasanabi\u2019 Piker had harsh words for the current NFT craze, saying they\u2019re \u201cnot art\u201d and called them a \u201cpyramid scheme.\u201d NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, became a massive craze in 2021. Despite the serious amount of backlash they\u2019ve caused for celebrities and organizations alike, there are seemingly new NFT projects announced every day. Twitch star streamer Pokimane roasted the new technology, calling them \u201ccringe\u201d and said: \u201cIt\u2019s just so obvious when they\u2019re (celebrities) only doing it for the bag.\u201d Now, fellow Twitch star Hasan has joined in on roasting the digital tokens, and implying NFT buyers are only in it for the potential profits. Hasan hits out at NFTs Hasan was streaming on February 1 when he tore apart NFTs and the people who promote them. He specifically roasted the popular Bored Apes, which have quickly become the face for all NFTs. \u201cThe one good thing about art was that it was supposed to make you feel something. It was supposed to make you feel emotions, it\u2019s supposed to be captivating. These apes are everything but that. All of these NFTs are so disgusting. It\u2019s quite literally a copy-paste.\u201d Hasan reacted to a viral video of Jimmy Fallon and Paris Hilton chatting about the Bored Apes they purchased, brutally mocking the pair. \u201c\u2018It\u2019s really cool!\u2019 No, it\u2019s not. It\u2019s not really cool. You\u2019re an idiot.\u201d Time stars at 1:26 for mobile users The 30-year-old Twitch streamer went on to say NFTs are a \u201cscam\u201d, and \u201csaying this is modern art is idiotic.\u201d Hasan made it clear he doesn\u2019t believe in NFTs, and probably won\u2019t be buying one any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
