Unfortunately for Bieber, this instability led to the loss of his Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT investment.

Some people have made these investments as part of a bigger marketing strategy rather than to earn rewards. Celebrities get exposure and audience interaction by affiliating with the forward-thinking digital movement by purchasing NFTs. Some like Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa have gone ahead to <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/ape-price-soars-as-snoop-dogg-wiz-khalifa-launch-apecoin-themed-music-nfts\/\">launch ApeCoin-themed Music NFTs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, not all NFT endeavours are unsuccessful.
