The weird NFT fanboy in the Dan Olson documentary, from a #marketing standpoint, doesn't have much to market. He's at an extreme disadvantage in all respects. He's trying to present himself as a financial expert in a community where nobody can possibly be an expert. (Yes, there's serious players in this #crypto sphere but they're not watching YouTube videos on how to get rich overnight.) He's forced to rely on an painfully limited bag of tricks: his jewelry, his brand-name shirt, an extremely forced-looking pose of calm and measured confidence as his brain stumbles over the words he's hoping will convince his audience that he's dispensing sound bankable financial advice.

His brain doesn't actually believe in his "blue chip" assertion, you can kinda tell. He has to wind himself up a little bit before he can get out the phrase and then he stops momentarily to lick his lips as if they're already dry from nervousness. He's advising people to buy "at least two" of an NFT because you're gonna get emotionally attached...and then comes an even longer pause after saying that, as if he's realized that he's not sure what being emotionally attached to something actually feels like. It makes no sense, either. If one is actually genuinely emotionally attached to the artwork which an NFT supposedly holds, then...why not just make a private copy of that? (cont'd)
