Logan Paul's NFT Value Crash & Lauren Chen's Take on the NFT Trend

Critique of the 2021 NFT trend, noting it was clearly foolish both at its peak and in hindsight, using Logan Paul's devalued NFT as evidence

This meme is a screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter) by verified user Lauren Chen. It centers on YouTuber Logan Paul's massive financial loss from an NFT purchase: he bought a yellow-and-black robotic-style NFT for $635,000 in 2021, which plummeted to just $155 in value by 2026. Chen's accompanying commentary points out that while it's easy to dismiss the 2021 NFT trend as foolish in hindsight (2026), it was equally obvious to call it stupid back when the hype was at its peak. The meme satirizes the NFT bubble, hindsight bias, and the absurdity of speculative crypto trends, using a high-profile example to emphasize that the trend's flaws were visible even in its heyday.
