I was about to say it'd be much easier to just refund the ticket back to the airline so they could sell it again instead of trying to resell a plane ticket yourself... Until I realized he's talking about selling used plane tickets for flights that happened the past as "collectables".

Just... What... Why.

I think this is a person getting confused by the lines that nft supporters shout about how everything can be an nft and the reality that the only nfts anyone cares about are of ugly apes.

I think he is imagining a future where QR codes are replaced by NFT poo poo-tier procedurally generated pixel art, and somehow there will be someone who wants to buy your old Delta ticket NFT because they like the "artist" who made it.

He seems to think that every single plane ticket would have unique art attached to it... for some reason. It's also not clear how doing this wouldn't raise the cost of the ticket, rendering its resale value moot.

And, like everything about crypto, it solves a problem that doesn't exist. If airlines wanted to pay an artist to doodle on your tickets, they could've been doing that since the day people started printing airline tickets.

Re: Booyah, Anyone who says they are hyper accurate or never acknowledges their failures, then yes they're pulling that poo poo. But, you basically said: "everything is random, but if you predict things go down and they do then TA works". It's not like we can quantify other people's confirmation bias.

To me it's like a weather chart - I can't possibly predict what is happening a week to a month from now but I can look at what's moving in the last 8 hours/when I wake up and whether that's going to translate to rain/snow/etc for myself a large majority of the time. For with TA, it's mostly the opposite - longer term poo poo is usually easier to predict, shorter term is usually harder.

edit: :words: TLDR: some people think TA is magic, it's just number analysis, it's not special, but it's not useless although lots of people want to defend their egos instead (who claim to be experts)

My point is that when you say "a large majority of the time" are you actually recording that? otherwise you're just relying on your memory of success which is where I would think confirmation bias comes in.

I don’t think that calling this an “error” really does it justice. If that Twitter account is to be believed, an investment bank’s accountants completely failed to do currency translation adjustments, which implies their accountants are only “accountants” in the loosest possible sense of the word. This is like having an auto mechanic who never learned that they’re supposed to change the oil in an engine. This is like having a surgeon who doesn’t wash their hands before surgery because they haven’t heard of the germ theory of disease.

Total incompetence beyond what you would have thought possible before is the norm for anything even remotely technical in crypto, so I just went, "Well of course they did," and continued on.
