Trump-Biden bet led to obsession with ‘idiotic’ NFTs —Batsoupyum, NFT Collector
How throwing shade on Polymarket resulted in a DM from CEO Shayne Coplan, and led Batsoupyum down the NFT rabbit hole: NFT Collector.
Batsoupyum is one of the most prolific and respected NFT and digital art collectors there is. Prior to discovering NFTs, hed invested in Bitcoin and participated in various venture and liquid token funds.
But crypto was more of a side interest than a full time job. That changed in late 2020 when he tried to place a bet on the Biden vs. Trump election on Polymarket. Whilst stirring the pot on the site, he ended up getting connected to Polymarkets CEO, Shayne Coplan.
I went on that website and I started kind of rabble-rousing and saying stupid things, but I also would send helpful tips, says batsoupyum.
