@matrix I will never understand the people defending this scam...

>a fool and his money are soon parted
I don't even consider it a scam, just an extremely retarded "investment." Like beanie babies for the blockchain era.
@Marshall1Banana @matrix @MattFinish @Pepito I wish it wasn't so choked with money. Buying and selling pepe collections for ~$1 sounds fun enough to be a hobby, but we cant have nice things
@TomAltihill @MattFinish @Pepito @matrix

>rare pepe's used as a joke about artificial scarcity and bullshit internet economies

>2021
>its now all real and unironic
@Marshall1Banana @TomAltihill @MattFinish @Pepito @matrix
Yesterdays irony turning into todays sincerity is often very terrible.
@Marshall1Banana @TomAltihill @MattFinish @Pepito @matrix Regular crypto might be a volatile investment but it at least makes practical sense as an alternative to abusable fiat currencies. I have no idea what the point of NFTs is.
@ArdanianRight @Marshall1Banana @MattFinish @Pepito @matrix ok ok new idea, to promote my NFT ideology, I should make images of all my posts to sell for 25 cents, and post it to whatever NFT marketplace thing exists. If I am still day drunk when I get back to the shed command center

@MattFinish @matrix @Pepito at least Beanie Babies you could use to decorate your home or office. Can't do that with a JPEG.

@MattFinish @matrix @Pepito NFTs feel like regular people trying to get into the scam that is the art world.
@djsumdog @MattFinish @Pepito @matrix It's crypsters trying to signal their status to one another in the form of blowing ridiculous amounts of money on worthless "collectibles". Just new money doing what it does.
@Pepito @matrix I don't think it is a scam per se, it is just utterly retarded and one of the various forms of late stage capitalism.
@matrix NFT and crypto bros are simply another breed of clowns. Change my mind.
@matrix did he actually hack it

or was he being "le epin right click save as jokester" in november 2021
@matrix this doesn't clarify anything lol

except i guess that the guy is distraught which i suppose is to be expected if you got robbed of millions
@fixpoint @matrix @fluffy I want a bullshit job that's used for money laundering!

@matrix why do nft artists draw the ugliest damn things yet to exist?
