It's amazing how these people are just full blown cargo culting everything they do. But then, the entire concept of crypto is literally based on taking experimental models and proof of concepts with obvious shortcuts because they haven't figured out basic functions, and latching onto that, exactly that, as the future and the only way things should be done.

The video is actually pretty good, having multiple different arts styles. If it wasn't attached to NFTs id probably like it.
Thankfully, its also if you didn't know those two apes were NFTs, you wouldn't have a clue its NFT related.

I am laughing here, bigtime. I pointed out the other day to some groups that Bitcoin has proven to not be an effective hedge of inflation, and that gold likely isn't either.The irony is there are quite literally inflation protected bonds, which serve this function.

If the interchangeable pieces were 3D rendered so the figures weren't always locked in the same pose, well, you'd still have an obvious scam but it would have slightly more artistic merit.

edit: your work is pretty good imo

I feel like the fact that "dead cat bounce" is the term Wall Street uses to describe the phenomenon says a lot about the kind of people who work on Wall Street.
The more accurate “dead over-leveraged broker bounce” is considered too macabre.

Eh there's another called automatic rally but dead cat bounce is honestly the good term as it is, because people understand it better. If we had seen btc recover significantly from the drop it would have been a bullish response, but obviously not.

It's more funny because the first little bit is the rappity-rap rap style that Eminem has been criticized of for the last decade or so. The man is incapable of a good or inventive flow anymore.

That picture drives me insane. The wastefulness of it all, that those video cards represent people being charged extra cause miners we’re buying hundreds at a time, shipping back and forth, that those video cards could have been used for something like playing games or editing video. And all they did was lovely math.

It loving sucks, man!

all those cards did was make it possible for people to buy large amounts of chinese fentanyl, or computer crime poo poo. oh and they also separated a ton of idiots from their money via ape scams, and possibly helped NK pay for reactor parts. those cards did not provide any gaming joy.

I got a 3070 for MSRP while they were scarce and after using it for like a month I decided I'd rather sell it because it was worth way more to me as money than as a video card, so I went to a big discord where people bought and sold cards and tried to sell it there. The only interest I got was from crypto miners who tried to convince me that it was only worth MSRP but they'd happily pay postage if I agreed to sell it to them for $350 or whatever. So anyway I still have it because gently caress those nerds

Highlights include footage of the attendees at the Bored Ape music festival standing in little circles chatting instead of paying attention to the big-name musical acts being paid handsomely to play for them, viral marketing in the form of fake protesters with "god hates NFTs" signs, and attendees being forced to scan a QR code and follow a Twitter account before being allowed to have a free cookie.

this video is fine, but it's probably the first time I've noticed a youtube presenter using an actual teleprompter. it's sort of distracting watching their eyes pan back and forth.

I think most of the attendees at APEFEST were also paid actors. The organizers didn't want bagholders to feel like no one could win, so they faked people winning, so the bagholders would keep slamming cash into the black box.
