Am I too late to bring up yet another example of a coiner succumbing to a basic, obvious social engineering attack?

https://old.reddit.com/r/defi/comments/skqvit/i_just_lost_over_35k_to_scammers_beware_out_there/

Few things to note:

  • The fella handed over his wallet's private keys, the one thing you're never supposed to do
  • Clicked a tinyURL link and trusted that where he landed was a trusted webpage
  • The Trader Joe platform (ripping off a grocery store chain, really) has a disclaimer about checking the domain because scams are apparently so rampant
  • The coiner cried to the FBI about it at the Internet Crime Complaint Center

Yes. Looks like they are still unsuccessfully trying to get other people to pay thousands of dollars for them. Not a single one has been sold.

Games have had things you could trade with other players for DECADES and pay-for-items dlc for almost as long. I know it shouldnt even phase me anymore at this point but I just cant get why anyone thinks NFTs are some new tech that finally makes this a reality instead of new tech that makes those existing functions far shittier

The fantasy is that you can take items and characters from unrelated franchises, companies, and even console eras and bring that whole unbalanced inventory of poo poo into whatever new game has just released and instantly dominate it.

Apologies if I'm being an idiot by missing an obvious joke, but Meta and "the metaverse" are unrelated. Meta is just what Facebook - the company - rebranded to, since they've been expanding into other things for a while now. Similar to how Google created Alphabet. Meta stock plummeted because their profits failed to meet expectations due to an increase in spending.

I'm sure you were probably joking but I've seen a few people confuse the metaverse for somehow being Facebook related, it's not. It's the stupid name that these crypto idiots are giving to their utopian world where crypto rules all and every aspect of our lives somehow lives on a blockchain.

In the latest episode of popular websites shoving their foot in their mouth over dumb crypto stuff, a freelance artist tweeted about resigning from online marketplace Gumroad on account of their unannounced plans to get into NFTs, and their founder completely lost his poo poo on Twitter, sharing private messages and comparing registered email addresses and such.

also notable is this guy had around 35k in student debt, and was holding this money in crypto because he thought the returns were better than the interest on his loans

I don't think anyone wants anything to do with anyone's metaverse, hence why Meta's stock is plummeting

I mean they had their earnings call, reported an unprecedented loss, and then the stock fell 20%. But attribute it to whatever you want I guess, that's the crypto way.

Tiddy cat Buddha improving your day.
I'm just going to copy and paste a section from Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle". It's from an Anarchist talking about the form production might take in the future.

"Schliemann called himself a “philosophic anarchist”; and he explained that an anarchist was one who believed that the end of human existence was the free development of every personality, unrestricted by laws save those of its own being. Since the same kind of match would light every one’s fire and the same-shaped loaf of bread would fill every one’s stomach, it would be perfectly feasible to submit industry to the control of a majority vote. There was only one earth, and the quantity of material things was limited. Of intellectual and moral things, on the other hand, there was no limit, and one could have more without another’s having less; hence “Communism in material production, anarchism in intellectual,” was the formula of modern proletarian thought. As soon as the birth agony was over, and the wounds of society had been healed, there would be established a simple system whereby each man was credited with his labor and debited with his purchases; and after that the processes of production, exchange, and consumption would go on automatically, and without our being conscious of them, any more than a man is conscious of the beating of his heart.

it'll be slow and silent. basically zero offers will come in for NFT's and then they'll start selling for cheap.
