Oh Baby Anyone seen Tether's billions quote:
The whole thing is worth a read but it is all a bit much. Matt Levin also covered it and it's actually a pretty great explanation of how the financial system works.

So I presume next week we're going to find out that China Evergrande Group is actually backed by cryptocurrency and that's then reason it ultimately collapses, or at least, gets the blame. (I presume it's also because of total and complete corruption by high level execs and managers in Chinese and Western banks and governments, but the crypto will be the economists blame target so that why Capitalism itself is totally blameless).

You can tell if it's satire or not by checking blockchain for the NFT of his avatar. Or, like, by reading his twitter, I guess.

Just sounds like something that is good for bitcoin, these weaker NFTs couldn't compete and are crawling away from true wealth.

Why do they need 'projects' behind their NFTs? Just trade NFTs like before, nothing's changed.

Most of these projects were promising some kind of future utility to the NFTs beyond JPEG ownership, like being usable in a game that will eventually exist, then they do a runner as soon as the NFTs are all sold

The answer is youre putting more thought into it than any true believer or conartist does.

Someone should create a twitter account that scrapes Twitter for people posting their NFTs, changes one byte of metadata in the image and reposts it as Creative Commons - Public Domain

They have it pretty easy in the crypto space though, because wild promises and complete lack of accountability are the norm.
