Stephanie Matto, A Tiktoker Who Made $200k Selling Farts In Mason Jars, Launches NFT Collection
Stephanie Matto, a former reality star on TLC’s “90 Day Fiancé,” launches fartjarsnft.com and sells her work as a non-fungible token (NFT) collection. The website went live on Wednesday, and at the time of publishing, minting a Fart Jar NFT costs 0.05 ETH or around $155 per NFT.
Matto is a Tiktoker and Youtuber who decided to sell her farts in mason jars on the internet. The businesswoman raised $200,000 for her mason jar farts, but the concept was causing serious harm to her health. After hospitalized Matto, a doctor informed her that the farting idea was a problem. Matto is now relying on blockchain technology to maintain her fart-selling job to be more conscious of her body.
“For the first time ever an NFT project is giving the people what they want: Fart Jars,” the website declares.
“Combine this with the deflationary mechanics, real-life redeemable items, and utility in the form of access to fart jar extraordinaire Stephanie Matto via a private discord channel for all holders. We are certain Fart Jars will blow you away.”
“Imagine the smell,” the website says, and Matto is confident she is providing exactly what consumers want.
PayPal Holdings Inc. Is Considering The Creation Of Its Own Stablecoin
PayPal has made inroads into the cryptocurrency business. PayPal’s senior vice president of crypto and digital currencies, Jose Fernandez da Ponte, told Bloomberg that the corporation is currently looking into the possibility of creating its stablecoin.
Stablecoins are a type of digital money linked to the value of a stable reserve asset, such as the US dollar, the Indian rupee, or the value of a real commodity, and may be redeemed.
“I don’t think that we have seen a stablecoin that works well for payments yet,” Jose Fernandez da Ponte told Bloomberg.
“We are exploring a stablecoin; if and when we seek to move forward, we will of course work closely with relevant regulators,” he stated.
Ethereum Might Represent 50% Of Global Financial Transactions Within The Next Ten Years
Joey Krug, a co-chief investment officer of cryptocurrency-focused hedge fund Pantera Capital, believes Ethereum can become a key role in the global financial system.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Krug predicted that Ethereum would be involved in more than half of all financial sector transactions, noting the assets underpinning technology.
He claimed that, despite the competition, Ethereum’s dominance might remain uncontested, citing factors like a few trade-offs.
“There’s too many trade-offs other chains are making that Ethereum is not making on the decentralization side that are pretty important. <…> If you roll the clock forward 10 to 20 years, a very sizable percent, maybe even north of 50%, of the world’s financial transactions in some way, shape or form will touch Ethereum,” Krug stated.
According to Krug, continuous network development will be critical before Ethereum reaches the milestone and wipes off competition.
After Ethereum adopts the proof-of-stake protocol, he believes that the platform would serve as a framework for rivals to establish their projects.
