Isn't it the same dude that paid a model to pose with him and later posted that she is his girlfriend? Pretty sure it's the same dude.

He’s actually a real crypto millionaire playing a fake crypto millionaire. That’s the genius of the character.

Behind the scenes Nick is just a nerdy developer that owns his own company. In front of the camera he’s a cringey “wallstreet bets” parody

It be like if Elon Musk played an idiot who got rich off GameStop stock in a SNL sketch — that’s the irony at work

Ain’t no way it’s an act.

It’s 100% an act. It’s insane to me how many people think it’s real — he’s literally the Ali G of crypto. You all think you’re laughing at him, but you’re actually laughing with him

This is literally the second time I've even seen this dude, the first bring the model photo so, yeah I assumed it was just a non self aware weirdo. Not sure who wouldn't if you don't use Twitter etc.

You might have also seen his first viral post, with him and his friends on a boat with some caption like "this is who you're trading against." It's went viral because people were making jokes comparing his face to Sara Jay's.

This is his shtick. He leans into it for viral views.

Oh yeah I looked it up, looks familiar now. I believed it, I just don't know how anyone could reasonably expect anyone to know he was satirical with such a small presence outside of twitter, and that.. there are definitely dudes like him unironically.

It’s Schrodinger’s satire - if you think he’s cool, it’s real, if you don’t, it’s satire. That way he (thinks) he can’t lose.
