NFTNick is a well-known social media influencer who is hoping to woo the masses through a variety of wealth-backed posts on social media. His stunts have included all of the props of an influencer, ranging from a boat in Miami to a New York City penthouse, all within the same week.
Nick also lauds the phrase "choose rich," which is meant to show off his wealth and help grow his social media presence. He usually will say the phrase in some exotic location, whereby he can flex his affluence and create some buzz on X.
However, NFTNick's wild experiences were quickly proven to be less exciting than he made them out to be. It's hard to fool millions of viewers on the internet into believing a lie. Take a look at some of the biggest uncoverings made by NFTNick's following in the past week.

Nick started the week in Miami, posting a selfie on a boat with him and his crypto bros, captioned, "This is who you're trading against." Commenters were quick to point out that a clipboard with a liability waiver was clearly in the background, indicating that Nick was renting the boat for the day, instead of owning the boat, which is what was implied.
"Really weird behavior to pretend like you bought something you clearly only rented for a few hours. If you're gonna sell your lie you need to do better at not leaving the liability waiver in the shot," one commenter posted.
Nick quickly responded with a video of him going over the successful tokens and non-fungible token (NFT) projects he has invested in, followed by saying, "Keep doubting. Look at us now."
Nick's next stop was in New York City two days later. He posted a video in his "NYC penthouse" where he was holding a bottle of champagne that he claimed to cost $5,000. However, a lie like this is almost impossible to sneak by a hoard of people critiquing your every move. Within hours, commenters had identified the exact bottle of champagne in the video. According to them, it was not worth $5,000 but was a bottle of Tattinger Champagne that cost $85.

Nick responded quickly, saying, "Shout out to all the poors rooting for my downfall. Choose rich." This brash statement only added fuel to the raging fire of haters in the comments. At this point, NFTNick was starting to lean into the gimmick, hoping to simply create rage bait for his many commenters.
It’s no surprise that Nick's next video, addressing the comments about the cheap champagne, was quickly scrutinized. Nick posted a video talking about his haters eating "TV dinners" while he was on the way to an expensive event with his chauffeur. However, the decals on the window in the background made it seem apparent that Nick was actually in an Uber, not with a personal chauffeur.
Elon Musk even responded to the shenanigans, commenting with a laughing emoji.
The entire series of events was entertaining to watch and showed how well the crypto community can band together to support a common cause. Though Nick's fame will likely be short-lived, his story is certainly one worth remembering and chuckling about.
