Serious_Cyclone posted:"Suddenly a Trip to Barnes & Noble becomes an investment opportunity", loving LOL. Even if this goofy literary investment scheme somehow worked, in what universe would your research start by browsing a store whose business strategy depends on already selling mass popular books? The "investment" value is already priced-in, just look at the sticker on the back of the jacket. God, this is lazy. Brb investing in shadow the hedgehog erotica

Just imagine! What if you could have been one of the first 10 customers to ever buy a Big Mac, and now you get 5% of every Big Mac sold?! This is only possible on the blockchain, and is a very good idea!

When you intersect the two ideas of 1. I need to find a way to be richer than everyone else and 2. I need to preach about how great it is and get everyone else doing it, you can ONLY come up with a pyramid scheme.

I could swear there was an actual company based on the idea that they would install the equivalent of a hotel minibar with items that you might want (soft drinks, detergent, condoms, etc) and charged you based on consumption. Like, it was a company that people actually took seriously as a concept. I guess the closest thing actually on the market is the boxes in Ubers that sell snacks and such.

Well obviously with millions of users they'd be paying out fractions of a penny. But saying that out loud makes the whole thing look stupid, so instead we're going to be paying users in a rapidly incrementing number in a database!

Protocol7 posted:You can't dispute that I earned a free sandwich! The Blockchain says so! You can't eat a blockchain, silly. So I listened to a New York Times podcast this morning about the Celsius implosion, in the broader context of the general crypto implosion. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4lQVKFUbqsg28ctoRaObvA?si=0f6eb234a3d34368 Here's an issue that I have. The podcast does mention that in the early days of bitcoin that its main use was illicit transactions and references Silk Road. But once they get into "mainstreaming" of crypto during the Covid pandemic (Matt Damon Super Bowl ad etc.) there's no longer any discussion of whether in all these years whether crypto is actually being "adopted" or used as a currency rather than a speculative store of value. I mean discussing this critical aspect, are the pogs being used for the purpose that is supposed to be their reason for existing, and the fact that they are not, is very revealing of the fact that crypto is just TulipMania 2022. Does ANY mainstream or financial news media coverage of crypto ever get into whether it's getting into broader use as an actual currency anymore? I mean when they talk about regular Joes "getting into" crypto they're just talking about people throwing US dollars or other real currency at a Bored Ape idol in the hopes that the crypto gods will reward their sacrifice, they're not talking about those regular Joes making mortgage or tax payments with crypto.

I don't know about financial news outlets, a lot of them seem to have ties to bigger crypto institutions in some way. Forbes and FTX released a token together.

Nobody wants this future except the people who are financially invested in it, and their goal is to get everyone equally invested in this, a less efficient, less secure, more expensive future. You will own crypto and you will be happy. It's the perfect capstone to this era of conmen and grift. A thick layer of poo poo icing on a mud pie of 21st century civil life in freefall. Bazinga!

Web3 drug delivery Lol, the company is even better than that. It looks like it's a company that uses distributed computer networking to "decode solutions" that will help the company discover the next new miracle drug. quote:Druglike is building a decentralized computing network which provides resources for anyone looking to start or contribute to early-stage drug discovery projects. Unlike competitors, Druglike will be web-based and completely free to use. Druglike will soon release a web-based suite for target identification, drug design, and tools for both constructing and running large-scale virtual screening workflows. Sounds like a scam within a bigger scam!

So this current venture is basically just Folding@Home but the worst people are going to be the ones profiting off of it, but you might get some scraps if it pans out (and you're not screwed over)? I mean, putting processing power to work doing something actually worth crunching numbers over is better than most Crypto, but lmao if this is anything but a brazen scam.
