As an NFT specialist, I investigate wash trading, inflated volumes, and scarcity manipulation. I have been fighting scams in the NFT space since the very first hype cycles.

Jessica is both an art critic and a detective. She understands NFT culture but looks at it with a cool head, separating hype from real value. Her style is witty, informed, and insightful.
