i paid fifty thousand dollars for an entry on a ledger that a separate site says corresponds to a link to an image of a photo of a piece of paper that says every 23rd of june between the times of 3 and 3:30pm I can touch the cube for 3 minutes with one hand

you can't take that away from me!

as best as i can tell, it puts your crypto wallet address in the file metadata, and tells the NFT marketplaces how to read that metadata so they can display it next to the file itself

that's all

i just assumed it all came from pump and dumps of other crypto they converted to etherium and can't practically do anything else with since it'd crash the price / they'd have to pay taxes on it / they'd go to jail

dodgy art deals are a pretty classic money laundering scheme though, so maybe some of them will finally be able to cash out their dirty money now.

i can't imagine anyone spending hundreds of thousands of dollars they actually earned on any of this poo poo, but it makes a lot more sense if it's funded by imaginary made-up bullshit numbers they acquired through imaginary made-up bullshit.

also there's prolly a big dose of that whole microtransaction psychology trick mobile games do of requiring that you first buy abstract poo poo you can't intuitively value like "gems" or "crystals" or whatever, except in the complete opposite direction. like "99 eth" definitely feels a whole lot less real than four hundred thousand actual dollars

i just assume that everyone with a monkey avatar or whatever was one of the suckers that bought in with a "founder's deal" for like $100 and are flouting their wise business decision by pointing to the paper prices of monkey jpegs (and hyping it up trying to find a bigger sucker to dump on)

Tether's pumped $60bn of fake money into the crypto 'economy', so...

None of the money is real. If the 'crypto rich' assholes tried to cash out, they'd crater the price and bankrupt the exchanges in the process.
