I looked at more of his tweets, and he claims to make bank by paying Filipinos peanuts to create low-effort Dr. Phil compilation Youtube videos that he monetizes, and brags about the "donations" he does by renting 20-30 movies a day that he never watches.  I really hope it's a parody account.

Vampire Panties posted:Instead I propose that anyone who wishes to buy or sell a NFT must undergo chemical sterilization. Reproduction probably isnt a huge concern at the Apefest there, but as a species we need to draw a line I have a friend that works as an artist and designer for high fashion brands (Gucci, etc.,). When her marketing and social media team explained NFTs for her, she thought it was the dumbest thing ever, but saw how easy it was to sell a jpeg to some idiot instead of having to pay for an actual print. Every morning when she wakes up, she sketches something in her notebook based on a dream or idea, and she has practiced this habit for at least a decade. She started "minting" scanned notebook sketch NFTs for low prices (like $50+), basically getting paid to do what she does every morning as part of her daily warm-up. She has a backlog of thousands of sketches, and each one is unique. I celebrate any non-crypto-bro artist who has seen how easy it is take money out of the wallets of digital tulip speculators. The ones who are actually into all this poo poo like the dork in the Twitter OP? Yeah, gently caress 'em. I'm glad the NFT scene will crash sooner than the coin scene. It is already beyond its peak, since much of its rise was simply FOMO after seeing how much Beeple grifted out of them. The difference is, at least Beeple is an artist. Cacafuego posted:
Is it actually a crime anywhere to steal crypto if crypto is technically unregulated mumbo jumbo that breaks the SEC rules on the daily and doesn't actually have any actual value? I know it can be a crime to break into a company's servers, but I can't understand if "stealing" something that doesn't exist is a crime.

You were all very helpful explaining mining and blockchain before. I am now for some reason trying to understand how these ape jpegs relate. Is it just that there is a record in their spreadsheet that manbaby88 owns the jpeg at whatever location or with a certain key? How are these worth anything? Just because the nft maker says so? Like coins they are only worth what the next idiot is willing to pay? What if the nft hosting server disappears? I expected the future to be this terrible but for some reason I didn't expect it to be this stupid.

(The url does not convey ownership of whatever is at the underlying url) 2) a fool and his monkey are soon paired 3) yes, but they said it with marketing buzzwords and big promises. 4) yep 5) you're poo poo out of luck

No, gacha implies that they're distributed randomly (for example, I throw a bunch of money at Cygames, and maybe I get this characater in Granblue). They're procedurally generated, but I'm pretty sure they're set at minting before being sold?

It can actually be either way, from what I recall from the line goes up vid NFT scammers figured out how to pass minting fees off to the buyers, so the NFT can get randomly created upon purchase.

Serious_Cyclone posted:Oh great, loot-box mechanics Totally, but with even shittier rewards and outcomes. Some NFT makers will list the rareness of what may appear on it to encourage you to go 'ohhh if I get that Ill be Elon'. Obviously you would want the 0.001% chance of the gold halo with green flames coming out of it. If you got that, then holy poo poo your NTF is rare as gently caress and will be worth many times more than what you paid for instantly! But then you get all common as gently caress rolls, and your warbling jack rabbit is wearing bog standard walmart clothing instead. Thanks for the $5000 worth of eth! Do you want to try again before I rugpull tomorrow?

I know it can be a crime to break into a company's servers, but I can't understand if "stealing" something that doesn't exist is a crime. Where I live, crypto is just a generic asset. It goes in the same bucket as cash, coins, art and so fort. It has a market value, so that's what you're supposed to declare on your tax form. If someone cybercrimes their way into your accounts, it's just as though they stole any other asset.
