I'm actually surprised people still look at celebrities as some type of moral authority.

For example, I like Adam Sandler, if Adam Sandler started selling his own Adam Sandler coin, I still wouldn't buy it.

Agreed. But in the context of a brand-name I guess celebrity endorsements helps increase the number of people who know about your project.

As for the Adam Sandler coin HA!, but I bet there will be many who will buy this on the promise of getting rich quick by loading off on the greater fool sort of way.

Ironic then that Reese Witherspoon and other celebs who were pumping NFTs hard on Twitter, quietly change their profile pics when the NFT market collapsed.

Right, that's really logical with something like Vitamin Water.

At worst your out 3$.

I don't get an actor convincing a rational person to blow 3k on a fictional abstraction.
