so, do the bad pictures of apes date or do the people dumb enough to buy them date? one seems unremarkcable, like a kind of roleplay as a furry with slightly less chance of std's while the other is going to be an even bigger dumpster fire than usual. Looking forwards to the extremely public meltdowns in either case. "oh, you look nothing like your ape...." etc. ahaahahahahahahaahahahahhahaahahahahahahahahahahahahah, to no ones surprise:

thats so narrow minded, look the important thing is you have dispoable income, you are greedy and you are gullible, basically the perfect storm for catfishing, or apefishing in this case.

tons of women in crypto in the bay area. unfortunately i always swipe left on them even if i like their look because she's either 1. a scammer or 2. into crypto. i don't want either in my life really. it works both ways though since i've seen profiles that say stuff like, "i don't care about cryptocurrency i want to talk to a real person" and if you think about it it works for both cases.

i know a woman into crypto, in fact she's the only person i know into it. she is not like a crypto bro, she just read too much about how useful etherium would be somehow beyond its ponzi aspect (I remember her saying MS/other big tech companies were planning to use it for... something) and bought the hype. she did it early enough that i don't think she plans to do anything with it ever and seems fine with losing it all if it happens. she says she just shuts it out of her mind. seeing her in a few days, maybe i'll ask if she's reevaluated

The first nft that I'm made aware of was featured in the Feels Good Man documentary and its a pepe Homer. It was sold for 300k https://twitter.com/AltcoinDailyio/status/1366963955193712641?t=GtkOK5KgsKB_FefLLmlaFA&s=19 I'm pretty sure this ain't patient zero, but this may have been the catalyst for the nft craze and the bored ape yacht club people threw in a ton of money to promote their apes Haven't heard of lazy lions for awhile wonder what's up with them https://twitter.com/DrLazyLions/status/1526866564498214913?t=x2z3kq4hBvQGiTuMdWB61Q&s=19 Oh god

Heath posted:What's really interesting is seeing how NFTs in particular have not evolved so much as failed to evolve. There was that one posted the other day that was like 3D gorillas and the first thing you see is one rising up with the same stupid laser eyes as the Bored Apes. Like there is virtually no thought put into the idea of elevating the craft as such, it's total derivation. Keep the ape part, but make them gorillas this time. That's the key! The same basic conceits of the aesthetic are all there. "NFT" in the public consciousness is essentially now "a portrait of a silly animal" even though in theory there shouldn't be any specific strain of theme or composition of what an NFT even is, and there is even a pretty wide swath of NFTs that are actually cool art pieces. The sheer tastelessness of the crypto community poisoned the well from the start. I think the whole concept of NFTs would have been much, much more widely accepted and embraced if there had been some kind of prevailing aesthetic that wasn't on par with those old superhero creator palettes we used to gently caress around with in like 2005 They are using NFT to sell real artistic photography too, in sites like opensea. As an amateur photographer, I follow a lot of photographers in social networks and for some time most are trying to use it to get some money from their photos. And it seems it kinda works too, at least some of them are making some money out of it and good for them, I guess Although I have no idea if buying a photo on opensea gives you any real, legal ownership of the thing, or just the dumb token

It's just the token. It's only ever the token. People are buying and selling hyperlinks worth hundreds of thousands/millions of dollars. But it's a unique, one of a kind hyperlink. I mean, sometimes ownership of the token can confer benefits in other systems, (e.g. skins in games), but those are granted through informal agreements outside of the blockchain and can (and will) disappear at a moment's notice. If a photographer is just putting a photo on opensea, it's just the token. whoever buys it has no right to use that photo for anything.

Actually, as has been said multiple times before, you can generate a functionally identical token of exactly the link with the only material difference being creation date and owner.

And it seems it kinda works too, at least some of them are making some money out of it and good for them, I guess If enough people use OpenSea, then OpenSea becomes (and arguably already is) the centralised, opaque, autocratic authority on who owns what, which runs counter to the whole "decentralised, power to the people" conceit surely?. They can - apparently - stop you selling the stuff you own, and perhaps even tell everyone except you that you aren't the legitimate owner of things if it so chooses, even though the blockchain is supposed to be the thing that defines ownership. If something is transferred to someone else, and everyone agrees (block confirmations) that it is transferred, then they own it in totality. There is no technical "on chain" difference between an NFT that was stolen from someone and one that was legitimately transferred as part of an agreed sale. At least with something tangible once you own it (or have stolen it) you have it in your possession. With the brave new world of digital asset ownership the likes of OpenSea can taint your ownership, legitimate or otherwise, and prevent you basically getting any value from ownership since they are the de facto marketplace. How is that giving more power to the people?
