Main Paineframe posted:it's an advertisement for these specific NFTs, and an attempt to associate them with something notable to increase their value I don’t think that’s how toy lines used to work. They would make the toys and cartoon all at the same time, and if the toys all sold and the cartoon did well, they’d do another season and another line of toys. That led to the infamous poo poo like blackstar’s toy series coming out way after the cartoon came, failed, and went. https://youtu.be/OzVDDKJYvwo Or how the transformers movie and gi joe movie were both supposed to wipe the old line of toys out and hype the upcoming new toy line. The economy of toy lines has proven to be an entertaining rabbit hole to go down on YouTube.

I was visiting some in-laws and their 11yo ipad kid son was talking about how he's been making $400 a day trading NFTs. He's been really into the whole roblox items trading thing for a while so I'm not too surprised. It was at that point that I realized that a huge portion of these people are probably age 8-12.

Everyone is just going to make their own NFTs of their shows now because turns out that to the people buying NFTs they're incredibly fungable!

I haven't read them either, but I've gathered they are stories about stuff like a guy who makes a metal alloy that is real good for railways or something. Guys who do useful things and also are huge assholes. These folks are making nothing useful. They aren't genius Captains of Industry being held back by society. I don't think she wrote any books about guys making cartoon trading cards making her horny.

Ayn Rand's whole idea with Atlas Shrugged is being in love with the already entirely fictional idea of the billionaire superhero, like literally Scrooge McDuck and Bruce Wayne, I don't think she understood the idea that they like, pay people who trained to be scientists and engineers to make stuff.

It's the culmination of the just world fallacy through the libertarian lense. If markets make the best choices possible, and labor is a market, then those who become leaders of economic powerhouses are obviously the best possible people. Never mind markets are just massively multiplayer plinko. In a point of irony, libertarians will still make post hoc judgements of business and people succeeding in the market and decide they are not great after all and blame regulation. So it's hard to say if Bitcoin leaders are Randian supermen or reactionary parasites that are a direct result of SEC overregulation that would get outcompeted in a real market.

Everything is unique so to emphasize uniqueness is to push to the fore what the thing in question had in common with everything else, rather than what makes it stand out.

I mean, the whole irony of Ayn Rand is that Randian supermen are the parasites who leech the product of peoples’ labors. They just refuse to accept the truth of their existence. Like imagine a flea on the back of a dog who gets so engorged and full of himself that he thinks, actually, the dog is the parasite even as he greedily sucks its blood. That’s what stupid libertarian assholes think. In that sense, Bitcoin people are absolutely libertarian Randian Supermen. But Bitcoin people are absolutely not what libertarians believe Randian Supermen to be.

We’ve discussed it before, but does anyone have the scrolling screenshots or transcript of the “cam girl” bitcoiner getting dunked on by the *other* gals for trying to explain why bits would be awesome for them? That’s the same vibe I get from the cold open in the PM up there.

Make sure you get your Christmas shopping in early this year. If you buy your family Bitcoins now, they will be much cheaper than the $100,000 they will be worth by the end of the year.

Wow why aren’t more people doing this? It seems definitely fool proof Real quick though why are you using US dollars to denote the value of the bitcoin? Surely a cryptocurrency (that will definitely 100% be the future and dollars will be obsolete) should be the new standard of value Unless you’re just telling poor people and dumbasses to buy bitcoins because you want them to get even poorer for some reason? Bitcoin people are basically pure malice at this point. Someone who encourages their family to invest in bitcoin is like someone who encourages their family to try heroin or something
