X/Twitter removes support for NFT profile pictures –

NFTs experienced an incredibly rapid rise in 2021. Influencers, celebrities, and businesses pushed them as the next big thing, in what has to be one of the most widely accepted marketing scams ever pulled. In the year 2024, some of these NFTs can earn you a quick buck, but the majority of them have dropped in value by massive amounts.

Now, just to rub salt in the wound, X/Twitter has quietly removed the ability to set an NFT as your profile picture. One of the main selling points of an NFT was that it was yours. You could market yourself with it, create whatever you wanted with it, but it seems that is no longer the case. If you can’t even show off your purchase as a unique profile picture, it begs the question of what is the point in having it.

Of course, your profile image can still be your precious ape, but it won’t have all the extra information, including the collection of the NFT, the contract address, TokenID, and the app on which the NFT was minted.

Do you have an NFT?
