NFTs (thread now extremely NSFW)

I’m in a ton of NFT Discords, and not a single one is worth any amount of money. They are all chaotic messes.

It's the mess of everything beginning

ILX needs to start monetizing vibes

paymentforpostcoin

what if the idea is that we as the posters should be getting paid, right? so let's start trading our posts and seeing what they're worth, and then we can sell them to all the people

one thing I think is actually kind of fun about NFT wallets is the fact that anyone can drop anything they want in there. it's actually a common scam, someone drops a fake monkey which looks like the real monkey but actually steals your passwords and sends everything to their monkey repository. Karl Malone I would think you in particular would really be into that. once you get Jimmy Fallon's wallet ID you can send him any gifs you want. if you have any good ones that is.

make no bones about it, i'm not here to scam anyone, i'm only it for the cool hard cash. crypto

our coins would obviously be ILXchange

77 access costs 5K and three unique Osamathumbsup jpegs.

clusterbucks?

governance by DAYO

First it will be payment for posting in ILX cryptocurrency, then it will be tipping stet for new features, until finally it ends with ILX avatars and the throes of total madness.

make the lurkers the pyramid in the scheme

our coins would obviously be ILXchange

A decade ago, I sang this song on Broadway. Today I sing this song, surrounded by new friends, as a rallying cry for the women of web3. Together, we can accomplish anything. And have fun doing it! #WAGMI

PS Look for some fun cameos!

This goes to my ongoing confusion about what this technology really does, but when they say they're going to sell "NFTs" — plural — of a Dolly Parton album, I thought the whole point of an NFT was that it was unique. Can you sell multiple NFTs of the same thing? Or I guess each one will be slightly unique? Like the way Taylor Swift released different special-edition album covers, except thousands of them instead of four or whatever?

It's all just a way for rich idiots who don't understand creativity or how to be creative to part with their money because they think that's what being creative is.

“It takes money to make...creation...stuff”

That Randi Zuckerberg thing ... If NFTs and web3 are so cool, why does everything associated with them seem so embarrassing? (I do know the answer to this question, don't worry.)

NFTs do not need to contain different metadata. NFTs are like numbered receipts. Knowing that you have a "real" one requires checking with the person who gave it out.

where did all the NFT accounts go

Long time passing

I don’t have them, I flipped them all almost immediately after I got them. Thank you, greater fools than me.

After flipping the high value ones, I still have a bunch of low value Topshots, but those are fun to collect. Could sell for $1-3 each, but I get a nostalgia kick from them. Same as all the mass produced baseball cards from the late 80s that are sitting in a closet in my parents house.

Please stop telling us these things

lmao

I don’t know how else to participate!

I got a box of baseball cards today, opening them is going to be way more fun than a NFT could ever be.

i found this yesterday. someone trying to sell letters of the alphabet, alone and in pairs.

https://opensea.io/collection/eth-letters

(and i think they missed a trick by not including an actual eth (ð), which is what i was searching for)

What letter were you in the future?"

hmmm....i think i was the letter i am big fucking douchebag

I had that idea months ago, how is he doing?

sold one.

i spent about half an hour browsing the website looking at the other collections. 30 minutes of my life i will never get back.

has anyone done numbers yet, u cld probably make bank on 420 & 69 & 80085

I can't tell if this is real or a bit

How's your week?

Mine? I just erroneously listed @etherrock #44 for 444 wei instead of 444 eth🤦‍♂️

Bot sniped it in the same block and trying to flip for 234 eth

In one click my entire net worth of ~$1 million dollars, gone

Is there any hope?

Am I GMI?

we are > or < eight years from some dude in his thirties at the bar talking about how he was a eth millionaire, man i had it all

I can't tell if this is real or a bit

I guess if you looked on the blockchain you could figure it out, I just assume these stories are

Welcome to my lil corner of the @some_place metaverse. Can’t wait to welcome you all in soon 🤍 pic.twitter.com/QWfsdFGqzr

its hard to explain but the Metaverse feels like something from 2018

Second Second Life

playstation home - 2008-2015
vrchat - 2014

it's over https://www.ft.com/content/46349496-790a-4223-8c65-d6a0bde897bc

I liked the Metaverse better when it was called Date Ariane

According to a Financial Times analysis of OpenSea, the average price of a Bored Ape NFT, a collection that counts celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Snoop Dogg as owners, has fallen 44 per cent since the war in Ukraine began as investors pull back from trading colourful cartoons.

I can't believe Putin would do this.

sxsw sounds like literal hell this year

https://www.vice.com/en/article/88gb75/at-sxsw-a-pathetic-tech-future-struggles-to-be-born

It's really good that Vice is reporting on hyper-capitalist marketing arms that ruin SXSW

i literally never link to vice but i like the author, can i have one as a treat?

just going to link again via this tweet, to spite you and to also share the cursed phrase "land acknowledgment NFTs"

I keep trying to pull a quote from this and honestly the "bees" line, the phrase "infinite scarcity," and the fact that it had me darkly wondering if anyone has already made land acknowledgement NFTs should be incentive enough. Great work @bigblackjacobin https://t.co/cK16u1ANCW
