this is such an obvious fact that nobody needed NFTs in order to figure this out

I can't shake the feeling that all us self-conscious lefty ex-gawker readers are going to be ultimately "in the right" but in the meantime a ton of these guys are going to be rich, while all we have is our smug satisfaction that we didn't buy an ape pictureLike I don't give a shit about "the future of money," I just know that all these NFT guys who got in on the ground floor are probably going to make bank

All you're describing is the cycle of capitalism and pyramid schemes. You could say the same thing about becoming a teacher instead of going into finance or "why didn't I hector everyone I know to buy Amway?!."

I've dedicated most of my life to identifying lucrative investment path portfolios that are so risky that I am forced to distribute most of the practical risk consequences down to the rest of the pyramid, the tip of which I stick deep down in my ass and spin.

pascal's wager assumes that the potential rewards of winning the wager are infinite, while the potential cost of losing the wager are finite, therefore the calculable odds favor making the wager in all instances. because NFTs can't provide potentially infinite rewards they're just another common garden variety gambling bet.

"NFT horse breeding" lol what is this garbage. They've been doing virtual racing in the bookies for donkey's years but now with added NFT grift.

owen has been a grifter ever since he lost his point-of-difference asset in his early to mid twenties and had to resort to massive content-free brochures to tempt reasonably-sized clubs into buying him

lmao @ Whiney's idea that everyone getting into NFTs is getting rich as though it isn't well documented that these $50,000 ape jpgs are usually just the result of 2 people trading back and forth to drive up the price. unless some idiot like Jimmy Fallon gets involved. reminds me of the early days of online poker where literally everyone was making money. every player was crushing it. and the sites were raking it in too which is how they got to air 20 commercials during every NFL game. all that money just coming out of thin air, wow

I think crypto is obviously stupid and and NFTs are both ugly and stupid, but I can't shake the feeling that all us self-conscious lefty ex-gawker readers are going to be ultimately "in the right" but in the meantime a ton of these guys are going to be rich, while all we have is our smug satisfaction that we didn't buy an ape picture
Like I don't give a shit about "the future of money," I just know that all these NFT guys who got in on the ground floor are probably going to make bank, and we're going to be at their mercy because we're ultimately always at the mercy of whoever has the money
Like everyone dunks on them because they've created a "culture" around owning an ape picture and that culture is clearly aesthetically, artistically and morally bankrupt, but honestly I would rather be able to buy a house than be "right"
Just go get your Series 7 license and become a Wall Street douche.

they're like pogs, but pornographic amiibos too. you take the NFT/pog and you ask your lawfully wedded spouse to place it an important place.

^^this is what NFTs are
they're all like this
idk he has a point, i appreciate the honesty, it sounds like it comes from a real place of struggle which i'm not sure everyone else dunking on him itt comes from? when you see an acquaintance go to hawaii or whatever on bitcoin or whatever and you've spent the last 10 years of your life thinking "maybe i can afford to travel somewhere nice in 5 years," OR you've watched the housing market soar past any point of affordability for you and you think that you're going to be renting an apartment for the rest of your life, there's a little shit in the back of your mind whispering "you're missing out and not getting in on something that would benefit you and your loved ones."
am i going to dabble in this shit? no, because of the reasons that people have cited already, i don't want to take on another risk, it seems like it's too late, and most importantly, ultimately i get more pleasure from not working for a market all the fucking time, and doing whatever non-"productive" stuff i want to do - it makes me feel happy in a way that investing in this stuff, or even investing in a more acceptable scam like the stock market, would not. if that means i can't afford to buy a house, an insane luxury that doesn't really facilitate the lifestyle and values i want to have anyway, than so be it.

not everyone else makes that decision, i understand. i don't begrudge those that want to live. via the NFT, the only way to live, i guess. but yes, i'll be dead by that point
is it bleak? am i bleak? i would rather be dead. i would rather the entire universe blinked out then see people i know get enthused about bitcoin. what a horrible, horrible place to live this is. it's better to be dead
