How You Can Make Millions by Selling NFTs (spoiler: you need low moral standards)

Iulian Lesanu • June 13, 2022

Lana Rhoades and Jake Paul are two of the many who give selling NFTs a bad name. It’s easy to see why so many think of schemes and scams when they hear about NFTs or cryptocurrency. Creators like Rhoades and Paul are the reason it’s easy for people to assume that the only way to make good money by selling NFTs is by ripping people off via rug pulls or pump and dump schemes. 


What kind of NFT schemes are there?

There are more than a few types of NFT schemes out there. However, there are a few that are more common than others. A popular one is phishing, and a high profile example of this is when a Chinese University student lost $548,000. The student had clicked a link that gave hackers access to that individual’s data and personal information, leading to NFTs being stolen from the student. 


Jake Paul and Lana Rhoades were both involved in a rug pull NFT scheme, which involves telling people about a project, starting the development process, and, after individuals have invested in it, abruptly shutting the project down. Millions of dollars have been lost by investors, and in Rhoades’ case, she hasn’t returned any money and has avoided speaking out much about it. Neither have issued an apology to those who were involved. 


Why do NFTs attract bad people?

NFTs operate on blockchain technology, which emphasizes transparency, integrity, and being responsible and in control of your own finances. It offers those who are interested in investing a way to do so without having to get a financial advisor involved. So what about this attracts the wrong crowd? 


NFTs and blockchain offer the allure of financial freedom and making it big with investments. Both are possible, but it also involves investing at the right time and luck. Preying on people’s dreams and efforts to make money has always been attractive to a certain crowd, and this is just the newest way to do so.


That, however, doesn’t mean that NFTs themselves are bad. NFTs are, objectively, simply an investment option that are available to anyone and everyone. Anybody can mint them, anybody can buy them, and anybody can sell them. 


How do we avoid the scams and schemes?

The best way to avoid scams and schemes is to simply create your own NFT collection. Why not become the antithesis of the horrors we see in the cryptoworld today? What better way to improve the reputation of NFTs than by creating an improved product yourself? 


Many may think that it’s impossible for them to create NFTs due to an inherent lack of skill or knowledge, but that’s not true. Projects like Forkchain allow anyone to create their own NFT collection without any prior experience. It’s similar to how Wordpress allows individuals to create their own websites without any coding or web design experience. 


Forkchain offers everyday people everyday solutions to creating their own NFTs and, therefore, another stream of income that can be earned honestly and with integrity.

Savitri Network Officially Launches and Opens Private Sale on September 15, 2025 Savitri Network, a next-generation blockchain with a dual-token model, will officially launch on September 15, 2025, at 12:00 PM UTC+0. The highly anticipated event introduces a unique and innovative approach to blockchain technology and also kicks off the private sale of the blockchain’s native token, $SAVI, giving crypto enthusiasts the opportunity to join the project in its early stages. Savitri Network seamlessly combines artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, and governance convergence into a single, sustainable ecosystem, driving real-world adoption of blockchain technology. The project aims to go beyond the common use of blockchain networks, which are often focused primarily on financial transactions. Savitri Network supports predictable, ultra-low transaction costs, seamless IoT data integration, and AI-powered services directly on-chain. These features expand its use cases beyond financial operations. As a result, the network has the potential to serve as the foundational operating layer for various real-world industries, including logistics, healthcare, and supply chain management. Key features of Savitri Network include: Dynamic staking rewards that adjust over time (8% → 5% → 3%) to balance incentives and sustainability. Enterprise-ready design: A fixed transaction fee of $0.0035 per transaction, making blockchain integration viable at scale. High-speed performance: 230,000 transactions per second (TPS) with confirmation in just 836 milliseconds. Energy efficiency: Up to 95% lower energy consumption compared to most blockchains. Developer-friendly tools: Easy-to-use APIs and SDKs for seamless developer access. Broad technological support: Real-world interoperability between IoT devices, AI models, and enterprise systems. One of Savitri Network’s most notable innovations is its dual-token model, centered around two robust tokens: $SAVI and $VOTE. The $SAVI coin is the backbone of the Savitri Network ecosystem. It is designed to power transactions, staking, AI model payments, and IoT services. With a total supply of 2 billion $SAVI coins and a 50-year emission model with adaptive deflation, $SAVI ensures both stability and longevity. Ten percent of the total supply is allocated to the private sale, which begins on launch day. The $VOTE token is built to enable transparent, community-driven governance. It allows holders to influence the network’s future and earn rewards by participating in governance processes. $VOTE uses a quadratic voting system and incorporates a deflationary burn mechanism that reduces supply over time. Savitri Network employs Proof-of-Unity (PoU) as its consensus mechanism, designed for speed, fairness, and inclusivity. PoU ensures fast, low-cost, and eco-friendly validation without the need for mining, complex staking, or centralized authority. Instead, it encourages collaboration, minimizes energy waste, and promotes true decentralization. The team behind Savitri Network emphasizes that it is building an innovative blockchain designed to last for the next 100 years, with a focus on real-world adoption and purpose-driven innovation. Join the $SAVI Coin private sale and become part of the project at the very start of its promising journey.

Talisman , a leading multichain self-custody wallet, today announced its roadmap to become the world’s leading Decentralized Finance-AI (DeFAI) wallet.  By embedding crypto AI agents directly into the wallet, Talisman will transform wallets from passive stores of value into active engines of growth, while keeping users in full control. This shift enables everyone, from beginners to advanced traders, to automate strategies, access cross-chain yields, and grow their portfolios without navigating the complexities of DeFi. As one of the leading wallets in Bittensor TAO and other AI-native networks, and with more than 155k active users and support for more than 900 chains across EVM and Solana, Talisman is uniquely positioned to help users to explore, enter, and manage cross-chain yield opportunities. This strong foundation sets the stage for the next phase of agentic DeFi. Turning Assets into Action Until now, most wallets have served primarily as storage, offering limited opportunities to earn on self-custodied assets. Generating returns demands deep expertise and attention. Talisman changes that with its upcoming suite of AI-driven portfolio automation tools, built directly into the wallet. To support this evolution, a new native token will also be launched, designed to coordinate agent activity and enrich the user experience, with details to follow. “In 2025, just holding and trading tokens isn’t enough anymore. People want to put their assets to work. The problem is, most DeFi strategies are still way too complicated or time consuming,” Zerobit, CEO of Talisman said. “With Talisman, we want to change that, to make it possible for anyone, no matter their level of experience, to tap into the same kind of degen-level opportunities the pros are chasing.” The first milestone on Talisman’s upgrade roadmap is the launch of a DeFi portfolio feature that provides users with a unified, cross-chain view of their holdings across Ethereum, Bittensor, Solana, and beyond, directly within the wallet. This unification is more than a usability upgrade: it marks the beginning of a shift from passive storage to active, yield-generating portfolios. The Path to Agentic DeFi Talisman’s roadmap outlines a clear progression toward agentic DeFi. Following today’s launch of cross-chain portfolio tracking, the next phases will deliver increasingly powerful automation and intelligence directly within the wallet: Phase 1 (Live Today): DeFi tab with unified, cross-chain portfolio tracking Phase 2 (Q4 2025): One-click earning and yield optimization tools Phase 3 (Early 2026): Full DeFAI dashboard and agent marketplace By early next year, users will be able to deploy autonomous AI agents directly from their wallet. These agents will execute personalized strategies, optimize yield, and adapt to market conditions, fundamentally redefining the capabilities of a crypto wallet. A New Era of Wallet Intelligence With this launch, Talisman becomes the first self-custody wallet to embed crypto AI agents directly into the wallet experience, where anyone can access automated yield strategies and advanced DeFi tools without giving up control of their assets. The roadmap aims to deliver institutional-grade performance to millions of users worldwide, while staying true to the core Web3 principle of self-sovereignty. “Web3 is the default economy of the new future, and every wallet should be equipped to provide the best multichain yield opportunities across DeFi, while remaining fully self-custodial,” Will Deeb, COO of Talisman added. Talisman’s Quest program is also ongoing. Download Talisman to complete tasks, participate in wallet mining, and climb the ranks. With major rewards on the horizon, it’s not too late to get involved, points collected now could prove valuable as Talisman enters its next chapter. About Talisman Talisman is a multichain wallet and Web3 gateway designed to empower users with secure, intuitive access to decentralized finance. Built on the principles of ownership, transparency, and performance, Talisman combines cutting-edge infrastructure with user-centric design to unlock the full potential of crypto assets. It is pioneering the next evolution of wallet technology through its Decentralized Finance-AI (DeFAI) roadmap. For inquiries, contact: media@talisman.xyz
