Forget Minecraft NFT layers, whatever it means. I'm launching a start up to let you use NFTs in Star Citizen. That's right, your UAC Scythe can generate Slurp Juice straight from your Coinbase leveraging the power of Web 3.0 to provide the next level in JPG technology.

Keeping your crypto is safe, secure and easy. Just remember:

You shouldn’t keep all your crypto in one wallet. Owning multiple wallets is free and guarantee much more security.

Creating new wallets is free but don't you have to pay transaction fees every time you move money into them to make a purchase, and then pay a transaction fee again to make the purchase?

Indeed, but you only need to buy two things with bitcoin.
NFTs and more bitcoin.

That is a true statement, the money is in fact held in an FDIC protected account.
You, the end user, are not protected in any way by the FDIC because the money is not in your name. It's in ours, and we pretty-pinkie-promise that we won't do anything naughty with it. It's got a tag next to it on our spreadsheet that says "Jim's money" but hey mistakes happen and some intern deleted that cell. No idea who's $100k this is, I guess we'll keep it.

Mojang have come out to say that they think NFTs are poo poo.

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-and-nfts

"Each of these uses of NFTs and other blockchain technologies creates digital ownership based on scarcity and exclusion, which does not align with Minecraft values of creative inclusion and playing together. NFTs are not inclusive of all our community and create a scenario of the haves and the have-nots." is a particularly withering highlight.

I think the sentence right after cuts deeper and right to the core belief system of these little shits

“The speculative pricing and investment mentality around NFTs takes the focus away from playing the game and encourages profiteering, which we think is inconsistent with the long-term joy and success of our players.”

These guys all seem to forget that the SEC even exists. It's great. I know there's no chance musk will ever get arrested but it's nice that his company might remove him over his insane bullshit one day. And you know he's going full on McAfee after that.

The SEC is insanely toothless with him, probably due to chronic underfunding.

Tesla stock going back up probably means he’s fairly secure.

The GME stuff is probably worse in a lot of ways then bitcoin. The true believers are waiting for something that *already happened*.

The short squeeze they’re all waiting for was the event that drove a $4 stock up to $300+. Everything since has been nonsensical wishing that it will happen again….and bigger this time!!

Finally we see Squeenix's first foray into NFTs, and it's just a dumb bonus pack-in for a physical collector figure:

https://twitter.com/Kotaku/status/1549919058593710080

And as an added bonus, if the blockchain company they're hosted on (Enjin) collapses before Nov 2023, when the figures will be delivered, you'll just get no NFT at all, lol.

the GME true believers were too stupid even for WSB so the communities split a while ago

that's why the GME insanity is in /r/superstonk now, rather than /r/wallsteetbets
