Has anyone ever who isn't the maker ever made a profit of buying and selling an NTF yet?

Make money off it. ah yes, the genius move of buying into something you know is a fraud, because you're convinced that unlike everyone else, you're smart enough to pull your leg out of the trap before it snaps shut that puts you slightly above the bitcoiners who bought into openly-advertised Ponzi schemes, thinking they'd be able to predict when the scheme would collapse and pull out their money before it was too late

Yeah I'm not saying anyone should take their life savings and invest it in a ****coin. But if someone takes some fun money and puts it in Ether or an artist wants to take advantage of the NFT craziness then why not?

Yeah I can't really blame struggling artists for wanting to cash in. Nor do I fault the fortune 500 suits for wanting a piece of the action. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

That is an attitude you can have, but it's not one that's going to mollify any bitcoin skeptics or get them to stop telling you to gently caress off. It does not make the larger idea any less stupid. What is the point of bringing it up in a place where people are just going to tell you to gently caress off?

It's wild that selling a bitcoin is the equivalent of 40 days worth of energy for a typical american household and it's now evolved into even more environmentally intensive practices so that people on twitter can buy photos of monkeys

It was stupid enough that our global environment is being obliterated because the global market demands that the amazon be turned into a gigantic grazing field where millions of cows fart so much that the earth heats up, now we're also losing the environment to pictures that a small group of the internet refuse to right click and save into their desktop. Of all the doomsday scenarios, this is by far the least interesting.

The thing that amazes me most about this entire shitshow is how we can spend pages and pages talking about how crypto and NFT are environmentally catastrophic scams with no real use cases, sometimes with specific examples of scams like that lion exit scam or everything about Squidcoin or that guy who got three ugly monkey jpgs stolen and got them blacklisted on major exchanges (so much for decentralization) and continues to use them as his profile picture despite not owning them (so much for ironclad unique ownership) and then our local idiots come crashing into the thread shouting HEY GUYS AREN'T YOU SORRY YOU DIDN'T BUY IN? As good at reading the room as they are at spotting bullshit, I guess.

The reason crypto and NFTs work is the same reason Spam emails work. They're specifically engineered to be dumb as gently caress, to weed out anyone smart and only leave the stupid and vulnerable people that would actually fall for the scam without repercussion for the scammer.

Shinmera posted:The reason crypto and NFTs work is the same reason Spam emails work. They're specifically engineered to be dumb as gently caress, to weed out anyone smart and only leave the stupid and vulnerable people that would actually fall for the scam without repercussion for the scammer. Looking at the population of the United States, it really is no surprise that crypto is super popular here. We're chock-full of rich morons. Also that monkey jizz scam is like watching a man walk on a pile of twigs over top of a tiger pit, believing it safe because the rear end in a top hat who made it told him it was. "The Vice Article posted:Monkey Jizz’s scam was a rug pull, in which a project attracts investors, promises to release a bunch of products, and then suddenly makes off with investor funds while crashing the value of the underlying token. According to screenshots shared on social media on Sunday, Monkey Jizz’s rug pull also had the added step of introducing a 94.9 percent sell fee for any holders of $MJIZZ, disincentivizing any panic selling that might diminish the rug pull’s profitability. If the fuckin' devs have the ability to arbitrarily set punitive measures on things like "selling", you probably shouldn't have touched it! Also I can't wait for these coiners to ruin some random dude's life after it becomes apparent that the scammers just lifted "Cal" off of some random Facebook page or that ai-generated face site. Be your own bank!

Solar Tornado posted:Has anyone already made the connection that NFTs are just like adoptables on DeviantArt, but somehow more stupid? yeah, i had this thought over in cspam yesterday. similar kind of practice (and brain exploit) just opened up to way more people and is now way more exploitative. but that people are willing to pay for ych/adoptable things, most of which amount to palette swaps, is probably the same underlying idea that leads to people buying palette-swapped apes. just with even less of a human component. no different really to a lot of the ideas that break out of their corner of the internet and undergo total context collapse. a lot of people talk up how artists don't like NFTs (like that pregnant woman artist a few posts back) as some sign of artistic integrity/intelligence but part of me, as an artist myself, thinks it is just working people seeing that lovely machine-generated art may one day make the artistic impulse irrelevant -- essentially the automation of creativity. see also those imagebreeder sites that can generate faces or whatever.

Let's be clear here, reasonable people aren't sacrificing monopoly money or Chuck-E-Cheese tokens on something as low effort and pointless as NFTs. The average stuffed animal, cheap plastic toy, etc. is leagues ahead in quality and usefulness.

I only know 2 bitcoin true believers. One of them loves nft stuff because he falls for literally every scam that comes his way, but the other one is fascinating; he is very loudly on the "they're a scam" train, but his arguments are the same ones people use to reason with him over bitcoin. Crypto, a land of contrasts.

It is kinda weird that you can find some really aggressive dunking on NFTs online, and then you look to see who is posting it and they're buttcoin true believers. Really strange case of "our scam good, your scam bad" going on.
