I don't give a fuck about this guy, but I know a fucking grifter when I see a grifter, and I've learned not to give them the benefit of assuming that their actions are done randomly or stupidly.

Now, if you want to go deep into a thread to claim that a renowned crypto scammer isn't running a crypto scam, you're free to do so, but that sounds like a fucking agenda to me.

I know a fucking grifter when I see a grifter

Sure, I agree. That doesn't mean that he always wins when he tries to grift. There's a well known expression "you can't con an honest man". I'm sure that he thought he was getting the better end of the deal. But, clearly he didn't.

You don't have to pretend he's some omnipotent super-being who never gets scammed.

If you want to claim that Logan Paul is a genius who never gets caught in one of his own attempted scams, go for it, but... I mean... look at the guy.

Not Financially Tenable

you don't grift a shitty product because you think it's worth something, you grift it because you think someone else will.

The ones hoarding toilet paper during the pandemic didn't do so because they thought it was an intrinsically sublime product. They did it for the grift

What do you think is a ponzi scheme?

not f'n there

I’m not sure it’s worth $155 cause then it was the bored Ape that was trending but it lost it values drastically.

Daniel Tiger is education 🤡 like Clutch Cargo always felt half assed. NFTs like cereal box prizes for playing stupid games. who never screenshot a high score?

win pinball
block ads, i gave up at windows 95 loading. office competition pool paid out on Friday for a high score screenshot.

what?

To be fair, there are active buy offers for that one for ~$5k. The $155 figure is a collection offer, meaning someone is ready to buy anything in that collection, no matter how shitty it is. And, at practically zero liquidity (only one of those ever sot sold after minting), the concept of value becomes meaningless, he could accept the offer and take back $5k, he could list it at something like $20k and it'd likely quickly sell, or he could bullshit one of his rich friends to buy it from him for a million... or he could print that out and jerk it off to it, the therapeutic effect of which might be worth millions for his entertainment business, who knows.

I don’t live in the US. Do people really wear these hats out in public?

And if so, what the hell is everyone else’s excuse for allowing them to feel safe doing so?

PBS and weed. feel funny

NFTs are actually very interesting tech with a very real use case. However, just like crypto currencies, their actual use case is so boring you'd literally consider falling asleep as someone explained it. As someone who actually learned what NFTs were long before they got big, I knew what once they hit mainstream, I should keep my money as far away from it as humanly possible.

Yes. Conservatives, specifically the alt-right, need ways to identify each other in public so that they can "feel included".

And the reason they feel safe is that liberals and progressives are largely non-violent.

Cowards, you mean.

NFTs were 2021? Damn that was a while ago.

I remember mocking NFTs. The stupid things only ever had one single legitimate use case - helping ensure that artists got fucking paid for their work - and was obliterated almost immediately by the second dumbest bubble ever.

Or that it's the only link to the image; you just own one of the links.

No what's nft?

Big Philomena Cunk energy in that comment.

An image in a database tied to an ethereum address.

There's is a 0% chance these rich youtubers actually paid money for it.

They have the resonating rhetoric, charisma, personal connections, and delusional enthusiasm necessary to wow investors. Wooing investors is a skill unrelated to technical understanding.

Some artists I know made pretty good money on NFTs for a while.

and its fucking annoying that these folks get the best opportunities - in a better world they would've been shoved away in the sales department doing the good deed but nah ain't happening

Blockchain enforced "ownership" pertaining usually to shitty artwork. Was a real fad back in 2021 but thankfully has fizzled out.
