After a long list of celebrities and influentials marching into Bitcoin, on 12th Feb, came actress Lindsay Lohan. She auctioned off an Ethereum-based NFT on digital collectible marketplace Rarible after predicting, “Bitcoin to the moon.”
However, several of her followers and the crypto community have pointed out that Bitcoin is not Ethereum, where her NFT based on.
