Why The Founder of Metav3rse (1.3M Followers), Roberto Nickson, Shut Down His NFT Project - The NFT Culture Casino!

This is an interview with Roberto Nickson, the founder of hugely popular Instagram account Metav3rse, Eluna AI and the MV3 NFT (which last week he announced has been sunset). He recently posted a very honest blog post on why he felt he had to close down MV3, why the current NFT space is largely a 'culture casino' and his thoughts on the future of this space.
