xQc mocks esports teams making \u201csh*t\u201d NFTs to profit from fans 100 Thieves\/Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel has mocked esports teams that are making \u201csh*t\u201d NFTs to try and make money from their fans. NFTs are becoming ever more popular and no longer belong to just a niche corner of the internet that very few people know about. The most expensive NFTs sell for millions of dollars, and as a result we\u2019ve seen celebrities trying to capitalize on the trend (though Justin Bieber might have missed the mark), and now esports teams such as New York Subliners and 100 Thieves are making their own NFTs. On February 3, esports host Alex \u2018Goldenboy\u2019 Mendez wrote a tweet about fans\u2019 complaints, saying that \u201cthat\u2019s how a business works\u201d when fans accuse them of only \u201ccaring about money\u201d by getting involved with crypto or NFTs. *esports team gets involved with crypto\/NFT* Fan: \u201cAll you care about is money!

Whether esports teams do find ways to better integrate their fans into the world of NFTs in a way they actually like remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
