Verizon’s recent Motorola Razr 2025 launch brings back nostalgia with questionable collaboration
The DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) was an American automobile manufacturer that only produced a single model for about two years: 1981 and 1982. What made the company famous was its car being featured in the iconic Back to the Future film trilogy.
Turned into a time machine by eccentric scientist Doc Brown portrayed by actor Christopher Lloyd, the DeLorean car became as famous as the movies. Unfortunately, American automobile manufacturer closed before the first film was made, so it didn’t get to reap the benefits of free publicity.
Fast forward 40 years and it looks like DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) has been resurrected, but not to build another vehicle. The company recently teamed up with actor Sir Patrick Stewart to launch its “on-chain vehicle reservation system & marketplace.”
I think everyone remembers that all the companies led by “tech bros” tried to force people into buying their NTFs just a few years ago. The large majority of them proved to be scams meant to make the rich even richer.
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital identifier that is recorded on a blockchain and is used to certify ownership and authenticity. It cannot be copied, substituted, or subdivided. The ownership of an NFT is recorded in the blockchain and can be transferred by the owner, allowing NFTs to be sold and traded. NFTs can be created by anybody and require little or no coding skill to create. Because NFTs are uniquely identifiable, they differ from cryptocurrencies, which are fungible (hence the name non-fungible token).

This is exactly what the DeLorean Marketplace (built on the Sui network) plans to do. The company announced its first vehicle in over 40 years, and fans of the iconic time travel vehicle will soon be able to buy and sell their build slot for DeLorean’s Alpha 5 EV model on this digital marketplace. Personally, I think this is bad.
In any case, if you’re looking into the new Motorola Razr 2025, Verizon has it available now and customers can even get it for free (after credit of $16.66/month for 36 months). Or you can choose a one-time payment of $600, and the Motorola Razr 2025 will be yours.
