I used to have a bunch of little lenticular cards that came in Doritos to promote the 1997 Star Wars Special Editions. They were neat and didn’t require a single block OR chain!

anime is not good
i'm watching through that dan olsen video that was linked a little way back, and the vagueness of these nft launches are a one-to-one re-creation of the classic south sea bubble offering of "an undertaking of great advantage, but nobody to know what it is"

i know a lot of the material in "extraordinary popular delusions and the madness of crowds" is apocryphal, but boy it captures the spirit of the current bubble

I really want dumb NFT'S (with cool artwork) as POGS. Like, you get a cool coin (plastic, special additions made of metal) and a digital art piece as treat. Do different series of them. Like, occult ones, sci fi, a hundred per series. Sell them for ten bucks a pop. I would totally buy some, because POGS were cool.

Wait, did I just create a great new NFT that's also dumb as poo poo?

on the one hand you have goatse, on the other cryptocurrency

one of them is extremely offensive, a practical joke at the expense of whomever you show it to, and pretty much one of the most shocking things on the internet. the only people who take a positive view of it are a bunch of dissolute nerds whom you absolutely should not hold in high regard.

the other is goatse

lol look at this poo poo. None of the stairs or steps are remotely the same scale (the dock, the rope bridge to the lighthouse), I'm sure if this ever became more than a half-assed render it would be played off as the "art style". How big is a person's avatar supposed to be in relation to this? Imagine paying money for this poo poo. It'll probably sell for at least $750,000 United States Dollars.

The dock getting higher above the water the further it goes out really bugs me.. does the water have a slope?? does the dock ramp upwards?! It makes no sense!

This stuff is all such trash, a new grad from some 3d game design school would do better work.

loving looooooool. OpenSea obviously never got a third-party firm to review their poo poo. Sounds like it was just as simple as calling their API and it returning past listings and making a buy order referencing the previous listing number. WE ARE GOOD AND SECURE AND TRUST US WITH YOUR STUFF CAUSE WE SAID SO

it seems like the issue here is people who tried to one-weird-trick their way out of gas fees, only to get burned by the immutable blockchain

actually canceling the smart contract authorizations associated with their old sale listings would have cost them gas fees. but they figured out that if they transferred around the NFT in a certain way, they could get the listings to disappear from OpenSea's UI without paying gas

but since they didn't properly cancel those smart contracts, the contracts are still active and valid. if someone manages to get the transaction ID or whatever and sends the right amount of ETH, the sale will go through

all because both OpenSea and users were doing ever more convoluted things to avoid having to actually touch the blockchain whenever possible, because they didn't want to pay the massive fees associated with doing literally anything on it

I very vividly remember doing fentanyl for the first time (Actiq lollipop, I got my drugs from a crooked doctor like a respectable person) and thinking, oh, this is why people with really lovely lives love opioids, everything is wonderful, I feel like I am being hugged by a warm cloud.

Anyways, I think that is what the Metaverse is, except instead of awesome real drugs you get promised that your lovely life looks like this:

I cant believe there have been people dumb enough to think dragging items/characters around between separate unrelated games could ever work and thus necessitate explanations like this
