Lose interest in North Hollywood’s crypto-themed home
A crypto-friendly home in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, seems to be hard to sell, as the property has tripled its value in four months.
The so-called “Cryptohouse,” as the glowing neon sign in the kitchen says, was listed for sale at $1.2 million in October of last year. However, as of January 5, it now has an asking price of $949,000.
The four-bed, three-bath home sees the listing agent boasting in the property description about its spacious, flowing floor plan that’s perfect for the “savvy investor.”
For unknown reasons, the description leaves out a good selection of wallpapers, including various nonfungible tokens (NFT) from the Bosen Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) collection and the famous classic CryptoPunk in the living room and dining room.
The house also features themed wallpaper in each of the four rooms, one for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE) and one with a selection of crypto-positive tweets.
Those who want to try before buying can even rent a house through Airbnb. There is no need to enter immediately as there are currently no orders for the future.
Create your NFT personality and mint your heart on the blockchain
A project offers NFT as a way to reflect the individual’s personality and have the results on the blockchain.
Rubens DB, an artist based in Tel Aviv, launched the NFT collection “Psynesthesia” with 1024 possible NFTs generated from the results of personality tests.
Polygon-based NFTs are created according to traits identified by tests and algorithms coded by DB. In a release shared with Cointelegraph, the process is described:
“For example, the more agreeableness is high, the more warm colors are; the more extroversion is high, the more connections are developed.
The resulting art can be collected as NFT. The original owner was further given a photo shoot at the Rubens DB studio in Tel Aviv where the artwork was depicted for a portrait.
10% of sales are donated to the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a US-based non-profit organization that aims to increase understanding of psychedelic substances.
UK NFT investment firm gets phished
NFT Investments, an investment company in the UK that, as it says, invests in NFT-related companies, said it was the target of a phishing attack that resulted in the loss of $250,000 in assets.
The company announced via a London Stock Exchange (LSE) news wire on January 12 that it was “managing a cyber security incident” as a result of the January 9 attack.
Apparently, the hacked amount represents “less than 1%” of the company’s current Net Asset Value.
It doesn’t say exactly what assets were stolen, what kind of assets they were or how the attackers were able to compromise security around the storage of those assets.
Cointelegraph contacted NFT Investments for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
