- Cryptobros are now paying thousands for their very own digital girlfriend. Bull Market Girlfriends, an NFT marketplace on OpenSea, has already raked in around $1 million in profits selling digital female portraits.
- An NFT girlfriend owner using the name “Jake” laid out why he got started after he saw the trend beginning to take off, saying: “Why not have a girlfriend and try to make a profit at the same time?”
- The self-proclaimed “digital pimp” described how he proudly displays a printout of the painting on his wall and now thrives in his workspace knowing that his NFT girlfriend “won’t run off with some other guy.”
- Jake went on to explain, “I have all the power in the relationship, and it’s very reassuring for a guy like me that doesn’t have quite the same dominance with real-life women.”

Their collection of 2,500 hand-drawn cryptographically secured digital paintings has already turned around $1 million in profit through the NFT marketplace OpenSea…”
