NFTs (thread now extremely NSFW)

Everyone remembers who fiddled while Rome burned, but there were a lot of other people there too, burning, dying, trying to help each other, and everything they did was 1000x better than fiddling

This is just stoooooooopid horseshit which I want to drill out of my stupefied brain

I don’t own a fiddle, but I would totally buy a NFT of one.

mint it emptyhearted fuks

I just saw a series of NFTs that was in such terrible taste that if I posted it here I'd get hit with 78 FPs on the fucking spot

it's just a group of 27 laughing mouths

the one on the left goes like this: heh, heh, heh heh heh
middle: hahaahhahhahahaha
right: hah hah hah hah hah hah

there's also this one a couple hundred pixels out of frame, it goes

"NHAAAAHAHAHhahahahahaaaaaa... YESSssssssssssss"

Literature NFTs will change the world.

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.

TBRR, I have paid basically zero attention to what NFTs even are but am I wrong for assuming that they're something like pogs, y/n

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.

then these faces activate and tell you how to get rich

^^this is what NFTs are

they're all like this

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"

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.

i get all that, but i would rather die

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

that's nice. in the meantime, maybe you could stop making threads where people want to have a serious discussion about a topic nsfw?

Oh get real

Everything was fine until the vaginas showed up. Then the serious dialogue disappeared

I hate NFTs and thinking about them breaks my brain but I have a compulsion to look at this thread to read about ape theft and other implausible developments

However I could have done without Wallogina spam, even with its storied ILX history

good lord, doesn't everyone know how to deal with this? just post a bunch of shit (like usual) until the vaginas are above the fold

i got fired from work because of vaginas

my dad died because of idiots

my date stood me up on new years eve
