While he has done fairly well for himself as a content creator what sets him apart is his interest and investments in NFTs. What adds to his love for NFTs is the fact that he launched his own NFTs early in 2021.

Let’s look at a few instances that show his love for NFTs and his reasons to buy NFTs.

For the auction of these card packs, Logan collaborated with a company called Bondly, which is a peer to peer (P2P) exchange that allows trading across any chain, and through any medium, It is primarily an Ethereum based NFT marketplace.

Buying Pixelated Rock NFTs For $155,000

Logan Paul made yet another NFT headline when he bought two NFTs, associated with two pixelated images of rocks. The two images are a part of the We Like The Rocks project, which has 100 unique pixelated images of rocks which are listed for thousands of dollars.

However, what added fuel to the headlines was the fact that this buy from Logan Paul, didn’t sit well with another NFT project on the same limes, called Ether Rocks. He tweeted about the two projects to clear some air around the two distinct projects.

“The first rock NFT on Ethereum @weliketherocks; actually came before the Ether rock,”. I know it’s ridiculous but it’s digital history and I think they’re pretty cool.” This is what Logan tweeted for the two projects competing for attention on the internet.

This competition between the two projects led to a debate on Twitter, with people on the one end claiming that Logan Paul got “scammed” as he bought the rocks from the We Like The Rocks project, instead of Ether Rocks. However, it still remains a mystery, whether Logan Paul did get scammed or did he go for an original ‘rock’.

But, whatever the answer be, he has certainly placed himself well in the entire crypto and NFT community, being the focus of attention.

Buying Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs

Logan made yet another headline when he bought Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT, which is considered to be one of the most popular and most expensive NFTs around.

He purchased two Bored Apes, which are among the 215 NFTs to have DTM fur. Paul made the transaction using 34 Wrapped Ethereum (WETH) for the Ape coded #1442 and 33 ETH for the Ape coded #207.

The two Ape NFTs bought by Logan Paul rank #3954 (Ape #1442) and #5501 (Ape #207) for rarity, as the apes are ranked on the basis of their traits and their rarity amongst the other ape NFT artworks from the same artist.

Many tend to call the Ape NFTs the “holy grail of NFTs” due to their value, rarity, and returns on investments.

Losing More Than Half A Million Dollars

His love for NFTs didn’t turn out well when Logan ended up losing more than $500,000 in an NFT he had invested.

The Bumblebee NFT, the one mentioned in Point #1, didn’t fare well as it dropped by more than 99% in November this year. Logan had invested around $623,000 in the NFT, which dropped to $4,000, as of November 6th, 2021.

What made the entire scenario even worse was the fact that the NFT was supposed to double in profits, as per an article mentioning the news. However, that didn’t deter his love for NFTs, as he continues to make headlines in the space around his recent buys.
