crypto zoo - 2

Logan Paul's crypto project, CryptoZoo, turned out to be a scam, causing investors to lose over half a million dollars. Logan Paul, known for his YouTube videos and pranks, announced CryptoZoo as a game where players could buy NFT eggs of animals and earn tokens. However, the project never delivered on its promises, and it was revealed that Logan had hired scam artists as developers. To fix the mess, AI developers could be hired to build the CryptoZoo ecosystem using tools like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Dolly. The tokens could be used to buy Logan Paul-related content or support upcoming artists. The hope is that with AI's help, CryptoZoo can be salvaged and become a successful game like VeeFriends. Why don't people play poker in the zoo? Because there are too many cheetahs. Yeah, that was lame, but not as lame as CryptoZoo. Knowing the history of Logan Paul's videos, pranks and stunts, most of you probably weren't too surprised when you found out that his crypto project, CryptoZoo, was one giant scam. Recently fellow YouTuber CoffeeZilla did a three-part series exposing the giant scam that Logan pulled off with his project. In this scam, investors lost over half a million dollars, initially because they thought the project was halted because one of the developers fled to Switzerland. Now for all of you who didn't follow this saga, let me quickly recap it to you, and then we'll jump in on how AI can play a big role in fixing this mess up. And then we'll have a look at how AI can play a role to fix this mess up. So our dear Logan Paul quickly rose to fame in 2013 after posting short-form content on the unfortunately now-unexisting platform Vine. His videos were mostly innocent and consisted of Logan doing stunts, acrobatics and the one or the other prank here and there. When Vine shut its doors, he looked for a new place to call home, which was YouTube. And this went pretty well, because a couple of years later, Logan amassed over 20 million and 40 million followers all across his accounts on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. So with 68 million people frequently watching and liking the guy, we cannot really say that nobody knows him, since he actually has more followers than most countries have residents. Now that you know a bit more about Logan Paul, let's have a look on why he matters, I guess. It's time to enlighten you what the hell happened. So in August 2021, Sir Logan Paul took the stage on YouTube and announced his newest project CryptoZoo. His own word Logan Paul said, it is a fun game where you have an animal that yields you a token, Ponzi, and it can earn you money. And me as a person that understands a lot about what people want and how crypto works, this game is going to make huge waves. And waves it made indeed, giant waves of shit. And waves it made indeed, waves that created a giant shit tsunami. So within CryptoZoo, players could buy an egg of an NFT, which would then hatch into an animal that could have one out of five levels of rarity, like uncommon, common, rare, epic and legendary, which is absolutely unique and we've never seen before. So these animals could then supposedly be bred to produce more eggs that hatch so-called hybrid animals, which also have one of five rarity animals. But I don't want to confuse you here, these animals could then yield a token called Zoo. The rarer the animal, the more tokens the player gets, you know the drill, Ponzi. On top of this, these animals could battle each other and then would enter the Zoo metaverse, according to the white paper. However, most of these goals and implementations were never implemented and the raised $7.7 million never led anywhere. And why not? You might wonder. Well because Sir Logan Paul hired multiple scam artists and knowing Logan himself, he's not the most honest and reliable guy, the whole project didn't end up anywhere. At first, everything looked like CryptoZoo's lead developer, Zee, was the one to take the blame. He took $1 million and fled to Switzerland. But Zee claims that Paul never paid him and following that, Paul made a video that he's a convicted actual criminal being sought by the FBI. Since the one responsible for hiring Zee was another guy called Eddie Ibanez, another lead developer. And, you know, Eddie turns out to be, I hate to say it, but another scam artist. He claimed to have worked with the CIA and two NFL teams, but when CoffeeZilla interviewed them, they never heard of the guy. On a side note, Eddie also claimed that he studied at MIT, but, you know, MIT also never heard of him. So if you want to know the whole thing, I urge you to watch the entire CoffeeZilla series. But it boils down to a bunch of teenagers and scammers, with Logan Paul being the head scammer, scamming each other before they have the chance to scam other people. You know, the whole, kind of a summary of whole CryptoZoo. And CryptoZoo wasn't even the first time that Logan Paul tried to take money of his audience. In 2021, he got away with promoting a shitcoin called Dinky Doink, which was nothing less than a pump and dump scheme. But we're not here to point fingers, we're here to find the solution, am I right? Because right now we have an unhappy community with investors losing up to half a million dollars of money that they were likely never to receive back. And building this game is really hard, right? Yeah, not really. There's one indie game developer that built the whole CryptoZoo environment in only one night. And even though it's a free-to-play environment, the whole crypto thing is not really there yet. And this is where all the tools like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Dolly could come in. All the tools that you can check out in my other videos. So let's talk about my recommended solution. I would recommend hiring two to three AI developers that would build out the CryptoZoo ecosystem with the just named tools. Here the NFTs can walk around, battle each other, battle and compete against each other, and hang out in this place called Zoo. In this Zoo, users could use this token to buy IP connected to Logan Paul. Videos from his podcasts, memories of his life that are all captured on video. Or we could make a place that is the graveyard where dumps and dumps of celebrity rocks and celebrity shit coins gather and you can buy it with the Zoo token. Added to this, if the token is not too stable, Logan could even do token burning events or buybacks with the money from Prime that he makes, special events, special community organizations, and buy and burn back these tokens. Or better yet, why not use the token to create an upcoming artist fund inside the Zoo ecosystem? Supporting creators or to give true fans the once in a lifetime possibility to own a piece of Logan Paul. To own a piece of Logan Paul's content in a decentralized and fractionalized manner. Or how about seeing Logan Paul dance like a monkey in return for a bit of Zoo rain? Speaking about monkeys, maybe CryptoZoo isn't lost. Maybe it turns out to be similar to Dookie Dash, the new Bored Abe Yacht Club game where you travel around sewers and intestines of Logan Paul to find a key or another sword of holy grail. And you all know what the floor price of Bored Abe Yacht Club looks like right now. So what do you guys think? Am I completely crazy or can we save CryptoZoo with AI and turn it into an actually fun and interesting game and maybe it can even be the next Pokemon? I mean, CryptoZoo isn't lost. Look at Gary Vee's project, VeeFriends. The guy had less fans than Logan Paul and an audience that was much older too. However, VeeFriend plushies are being sold in every Macy's and Toys R Us in the U.S. and his community is thriving. You see, it was two similar people, Logan Paul and Gary Vee with both an audience, both creators. Just one pulled it off and the other one didn't. So CryptoZoo's hope is definitely not lost, it's just very near. And I mean, essentially AI could help to save CryptoZoo, right? The only thing we don't want is an AI that is as unreliable and lying as much as Logan Paul does. Am I right?
