#112Reminds me of an urban legend about a rave party in Russia where the laser show blinded people in the audience.

#113Given the.. qualities.. of people involved in the NFT space the organizers probably bought a bunch of UV-C lamps off alibaba because they were cheap and looked cool-- doing absolutely no research and with no regard for others.
There have been reports of UV-C bulbs being repackaged as "party lights" and sold on eBay/Amazon/etc. So it is possible they had no idea.

It's a matter of taste, of course, but the event does not look incredible to me. https://twitter.com/slandermepls/status/1721352598945677544
I’m surprised they didn’t stuff the room with paid actors. The closest tangible value to NFTs is that they grant membership to an exclusive social club.
They do this with Discords and bots to make interest look high, I can't believe they didn't think to do it with an in person event. Actors must be a bigger pain to get than bots?

Neither incredible nor credible; what a paradox.

For what it's worth, the photo in the article itself shows a much larger crowd. The video might be too early or too late into the event.
