The article as well as your comment (which doesn't even reference what is discussed in the blog post) are perfect examples for how narratives form in this strange new world. None of it has anything to do with NFTs or cryptocurrency except for the name. Everywhere people consume media, be it on Twitter or Amazon, they're bombarded with scams and nonsensical computer-generated content. Those not inclined to dig deeper soon start to believe the fake stuff is what the idea is really about.
There has always been misinformation, but not on this level. Only a few years back, when someone wanted to write a scam book, they still had to actually sit down and write it, no matter how carelessly. Now that this isn't needed anymore, it amazes me that someone would as much as look at - let alone buy and read - books on buzzword topics by random unknown authors. Same goes for the consumption of social media feeds.
