Forensic accounting means I’ve seen some wild money-making schemes, but blockchain never fails to surprise me. From NFT-backed fantasy sports teams to people selling digital pet rocks, the creativity (or chaos?) is endless. But the one that still has me scratching my head? A guy tokenized spider venom yields as an investment. Yes, actual spiders. Farmers raised them, and investors bought tokens tied to future venom sales apparently used in medical research. Somehow, it worked.
Anyone else come across bizarre but weirdly profitable blockchain gigs? Extra credit if it’s something equally unexpected. I’m equal parts horrified and impressed by the spider play.
Ugh, spider venom tokens are so mainstream now. I invested in an avant-garde DAO that fractionalizes rare vintage typewriter fonts as NFTs. The true artisanal blockchain experience.
That’s certainly an interesting perspective, though some might argue financial stability can also provide opportunities for positive change. There are merits to considering both viewpoints.
