Waning interest in a North Hollywood crypto-themed home

A crypto-friendly home in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, is seemingly struggling to sell, as the property has seen its price reduce three times in a little over four months.

The so-called “Cryptohouse,” as stated on the glowing neon sign in its kitchen, was listed for sale at $1.2 million in October last year. As of Jan. 5, though, it is now fetching an asking price of $949,000.

The four-bed, three-bath home sees the listing agents boasting in the property description of its spacious and flowing floor plan ideal for “savvy investors.”

For a perplexing unknown reason, the description leaves out its tasty wallpaper choices, which include multiple nonfungible tokens (NFTs) from the classic Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and CryptoPunk collections prominent in the living and dining area.

The house also features themed wallpapers in each of the four rooms, one each for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (USD) and one mattered with a selection of crypto-positive tweets.

Those wanting to try before they buy can even rent the house through Airbnb. No need to get in quickly as it seems it currently has no bookings for the future.

Make your personality an NFT and mint your heart on the blockchain

A project is offering up NFTs as a way to visually portray an individual’s personality and own the result on the blockchain.

Rubens DB, a Tel Aviv-based artist, launched the “Psynesthesia” NFT collection with 1024 possible NFTs generated by the results of a personality test.

The Polygon-based NFTs are generated according to the traits identified by the test and an algorithm coded by DB. In a release shared with Cointelegraph, the process was explained:

“For example the more the agreeableness is high, the more the colors are warm; the more the extroversion is high, the more the connections are developed.”

The resulting art can be collected as an NFT. The original owner is further granted a photoshoot at Rubens DB’s studio in Tel Aviv where their artwork is projected onto them for a portrait.

10% of the sales are donated to the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a US-based nonprofit aiming to increase understanding of psychedelic substances.

Apparently, the hacked amount represents “less than 1%” of the firm’s current Net Asset Value.

It did not disclose exactly what assets were stolen, what kind of assets they were or how attackers managed to compromise the security surrounding the storage of such assets.

Cointelegraph contacted NFT Investments for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
