Three nationalities left out of the list. Possibly coz their high contribution along with the color of their skin doesn’t align with the narrative.
Indian : $1.7 million
Chinese : $800K
Filipino : $600K
There was something magical about NFTs in 2021
A kid with 0.08 ETH could mint something random on a Tuesday and be sitting on life-changing money by Friday
Was it fun? Absolutely
Was it completely insane? Also yes
Run it back please.
41 kidnappings of crypto holders in France in 3.5 months of 2026.
Why?
🥖 French tax officials selling crypto owners' data to criminals (Ghalia C.) + massive tax database leaks.
Now the state also wants IDs and private messages of social media users.
More data = More victims.
They helped a paralyzed stranger, then got a 40x Airdrop
Last December 2025, @ufukless1 was fighting for his life after a diving accident left him 97% paralyzed.
He launched a simple NFT on OpenSea just $10 each.
Just a guy in a hospital bed asking the crypto community for help.
15,000 people showed up.
The entire collection minted out in hours. Pure kindness.
Then @RaveDAO stepped in.
No one asked them to.
They randomly airdropped 20 $RAVE tokens to every single minter as a thank-you.
Today?
That airdrop is worth $240+ per NFT (and up to $5,000+ for bigger holders).
40x+ returns just for being a decent human.
One act of kindness.
Zero expectations.
Massive reward months later.
This is why we stay in crypto ❤️
