Brie Larson is attacked on Twitter for joining the NFTs business
Captain Marvel doesn't seem to be saving the world, or at least that's how her fans and the Twitter community see it.
The 32-year-old actress recognized and awarded for films such as "Room" or "Captain Marvel", this week has shared her new acquisition on her social networks, with an intrinsic good action.
Larson seemed extremely excited about her purchase, which she also shares with several Hollywood stars, but little did she know that it would trigger a massive attack on her entry into the world of NFTs.
Users of the social network Twitter "cancel" the artist, justifying the attacks for various reasons that, for today's world, have an abrasive logic.
Reasons given by fans
Despite the fact that this young actress has a fan club that is very adaptable to her performances on the big screen, and the diverse talents that Brie Larson brings to her career, fans have not liked her latest activity off the set of recording.
This is because within the network there are many controversies about digital art, and unfortunately Brie has gotten into a problem without having asked for it. The divisions of opinion begin on the "absurdity" that can be the millionaires in paying an exaggerated amount for an NFT.
The arguments that remain on the table seem to be the arrival in recent years, at the height of NFTs, which are informal and formal complaints for the sale of stolen art and other disputes related to similar situations.
Until entering a much deeper topic, such as the damage caused by the Ethereum network due to its mining, which absorbs the environment.
Comments from Twitter users
It seems like a lot of Twitter users think Brie Larson has no idea where she's been. For a while now the community has been adding many influencers from the show who have bought NFTs, in a bag of disapproval.
For this reason, comments such as: “Bye Brie”, “We are not angry, but we are disappointed”, “NFTs and cryptocurrencies are bad for the environment, understand, celebrities!” and “The case of Brie Larson teaches us that we should not idolize celebrities”
Some are much cruder and enter into much choppier waters, while Larson has let the comments run without declaring anything about it. Talking about it would only be prolonging the attack on her profile.
Why do fans say that NFTs are bad for the environment?
Fans and Twitter users are not entirely wrong in saying that NFTs and cryptocurrencies represent a huge carbon footprint for planet earth, greatly accelerating global warming.
The Ethereum network, where non-fungible tokens are transferred, keeps working thanks to mining. And mining is a heavy blow to electric power.
Annually, the carbon footprint left by these digital assets is incalculable, but it is possible to find on the web the news that the percentage of annual damage has increased.
Although specifically Ethereum is working to reduce mining to 99%, the damage caused by this activity continue to occur on the basis of its main network that continues to function.
The Brie Larson Purchase
Brie Larson changed her Twitter profile picture to the image of her own NFT, which belongs to artist Varbara Alay's “Flower Girls” collection.
In the frame, a "flower girl" with royal blue skin and her white hair becomes a bouquet of flowers that attracts a blue hummingbird.
The background is an emerald green that attracts a closer look at the blue-skinned girl. The other 9,999 items are of diverse features and of equally strong colors.
This collection has been found for a short time on digital asset marketplace platforms , such as Open Sea. Its prices start from 0.67 ETH, and in FIAT money at this time it would be worth about USD$2,079.71.
The description of the Open profile is of this collection that has caused a stir due to the news of Brie Larson, public that these 10,000 NFTs were made with 950 sketches made by hand by Varvara Alay.
These sketches are programmed to be placed randomly in the number of works that are still for sale today. You also have 25% of the profits donated to various charities. Up to this moment the collectible assets already add up to 4,200 owners.
Brie Larson isn't the only artist to get into the NFT business.
Captain Marvel is not alone in this list of celebrities who are in the great world of digital assets. Some of these celebrities have not even received criticism for staying enthusiastic about this activity, as has happened to Larson.
The most famous NFT owners to date, start with host Jimmy Fallon and the boy of the moment, Tom Holland, to continue with personalities such as: Eminem, Justin Bieber, Post Malone, Dj Khaled, Mark Cuban, Paris Hilton, Serena Willians, Marshmello, Snoop Dogg, Gwyneth Paltrow, Neymar Jr, and The Chainsmokers.
In this regard, a much larger growth in the value of NFTs is assumed, which also brings a much larger and perhaps perennial fascination to the digital asset market.
This means that NFTs will continue to grow, and when Ethereum 2.0 arrives, many more people and celebrities will be part of the community, according to bullish media on non-fungible tokens.
