While the Deadfellaz co-founder is adamant about wanting creators to “see this series and recognize the real culture and value behind it,” we all have to acknowledge the elephant in the room when it comes to mainstream media narrative surrounding digital assets and collectibles. .
The bad reputation the sector has seen is the direct result of disinformation, manipulation and bad actors who have been able to disguise and mask their intentions to the detriment of investors and the average human being. Until regulators, legislators and participants in the digital asset landscape are willing to do their respective part in demanding transparency and accountability, we will continue to see the same patterns over and over again.
