Co-Founded Unsellable, a tax optimization tool that provides instant liquidity for holders of worthless NFTs to facilitate tax-loss harvesting. Unsellable has been highlighted by The Guardian, Vanity Fair, Bloomberg, CoinDesk, and Business Insider as one of the most innovative web3 projects, and an interesting twist on much-maligned market.Since Q2 of 2022, the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) market has imploded, with sales down by almost every conceivable metric. Many blockchain-based digital collectibles are proving to be bull-market luxuries rather than reliable, inflation-resistant investments.This has left millions of NFT investors holding tens of millions of NFTs that have no resale market. Unsellable helps NFT investors sell their worthless NFTs and harvest their losses by providing instant liquidity for NFT tax-loss harvesting.
