Seriously, though, I hadn’t been online for a day or two and had five and a half pages to catch up on. It’s very hard to figure out a way to merge posting-as-you-respond-to-individuals using the AwfulApp on an iPhone 8. If there is a way, I just haven’t hosed around in the guts of the settings enough to discover it. I do it all the freakin’ time!

The interest in NFTs was always 95% sham and almost entirely dependent on the amount of work being put into shilling them. So in that sense they can just go back to working the rotting horse over with an electrode to get the most of the same effect they were getting a few months ago, it's just they can't count on much more general interest media attention.

Accurate drawing of a typical crypto true believer and NFT fanatic.

The whole NFT thing has also given me an immense Dutch Tulip feelings. And I just love the way most news media reported some of the highest NFT prices with bated-breath-type excitement and no questions asked, which would have reeled in tens of thousands more suckers. Similar to their reporting whenever Bitcoin has a steep price rise.

There'll be many more shenanigans and tears of grieving from coiners before it all ends, of course. I hope I live long enough to see the final, unavoidable mega-crash.

even beeple at the very least sent you a customized LCD frame that displayed the NFT you bought. i mean not worth the millions but that was at least some effort.

overall i'm honestly just confused about it, there is no value.. even the technical design of NFTs... nearly all of them are poorly implemented in a rush to sell off junk assets.

Cross posting from the r/relationships thread

i feel sad for the girl. dude spent his life savings on an NFT to propose to his gf? this guy is honestly a moron, not because he bought that NFT.. well he is for doing that, but the bigger mistake is your girlfriend asked you not to do this poo poo because you were terrible at it and you ended up just lying to her and you're posting on a loving internet forum because you don't even understand any of the mistakes you made. "What do I do?" Buddy you don't even listen to your own girlfriend what's the likelihood you'll listen to random internet nerds?

fake edit: found the thread, someone said the poster wrote about hinge a couple months back.. so most likely fake? maybe? hopefully? okay fess up who wrote it>?

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Bitcoin leverages pre-existing numerical systems in order to further synergize the emergent technology of Blockchain. We do this with hand crafted, authentically bespoke Sudoku puzzles so that you can fully harness the forward facing, future proof power of blockchain. Blockchain utilization is a no-nonsense, hands on approach to efficient and effective sanitization of funds and anonymous transfer of wealth. Our Tenative Harmonizing Efficient Full-use of Time System —THEFTS— allows the self-actualization of fund transfer vis-a-vis encryption of end user terminals and maximizes Blockchain utility.

For the millionth time, just because something is profitable, it doesn't mean you're not still an utter shithead for doing it. Poaching is profitable. Human trafficking is profitable. Using up entire nations worth of energy just to crunch numbers is profitable. It doesn't make it wrong not to participate.

Because this is a negative sum game, and because most people buy at the top and sell low (going from 20k down to 3k during the last crash meant the vast majority who bought sold low), the average bitcoiner is surely owned.

conveniently leaving out all the posts that said it will never surpass $X, you'll never be able to exchange large sums of it safely, it will never be recognized as legal tender by any country, it will never gain acceptance by financial regulators, etc. etc.

thread has been pretty consistently wrong, despite being right that it is fundamentally worthless (this fact demonstrably doesn't matter)

e: at this point i have fully lost faith in humanity and am willing to believe with no surprise that blockchain or w/e the gently caress is the future of money. i don't own any and hopefully never will, but i admire thread regulars persistent beliefs that this is a fad. i've lost hope
