The people who destroy the NFT market

A few days ago, Indonesia was shocked by the news of a teenager who became a millionaire for selling his selfies on Opensea, the largest NFT exchange platform today. The teenager is named Ghozali, he turned his selfie into an NFT token and has earned a lot of money.

At first, in Indonesia, NFT was not popular, only certain people knew what NFT was and how it worked. After the news of Ghozali, a teenager who became suddenly rich because of his selfie photos went viral, Indonesians began to know about NFT and Opensea.

A problem in the NFT world began, many people wanted to follow Ghozali's steps. As a result, the Opensea marketplace is filled with photo spam uploaded by Indonesians. Starting from selfie photos, photos of food, photos of clothes, photos of sandals, and a lot of garbage images at Opensea due to Indonesian people trying to get rich.

Of the many trash photos uploaded by Indonesians, the worst are those who take photos from Google and Freepik, then upload them back to Opensea. It's image theft. And one other rotten thing is, those who upload other people's identities to Opensea. Can't that data be misused?

I tried to tell them on Facebook and Twitter with an opinion like this, but they said, "Hey, that's their right", "Hey, that's none of your business". In my mind, I screamed, "What the fuck". That's my business too. I'm also an NFT creator at Opensea. If Opensea banned NFT creators from Indonesia, then I can no longer sell my NFT on Opensea.

So, for those of you who want to try to become NFT creators, upload works of art that have artistic value, don't upload your trash photos anymore. You cannot be like Ghozali and there is no other Ghozali besides him. I'm not insulting my nation, but the truth is, you're making yourselves despised. I hope this article will enlighten you so that there will be no more NFT waste in Opensea.
