As someone who's exclusively a freelancer now, this isn't so much about getting rich off idiots as it is I would like to afford to live and get equipment upgrades to do my job better.

He did it for months at one point when crypto was real fuckin low, like $2000 butts, he laid low in the thread just asking questions, but once it started to perk up, Seraph couldn't help himself and got on that manic poo poo before he ripped the mask off and revealed himself as the messiah of cryptocurrency who was able to buy a small townhouse off of butts.

quote:On July 30th, 2022, history was made by Frida.nft & CEO Martin Mobarak when Martin burned his $10M rare art piece by Frida Kahlo, to transform and revolutionize the Art, NFT, Charity Worlds, and Health Sector. This profound act was done for unfortunate and sick children, battered women and other less fortunate around the world to receive hope. Frida Kahlo became immortalized in NFT form. Her art that is now shared around the world has created donations that will continue to grow in perpetuity. quote:But since it’s caught some media buzz, the Institute of Fine Arts and Literature (INBAL) in Mexico is loudly denouncing Mobarak, while a couple of the Mexican institutions listed as beneficiaries, the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Museums Trust and Mexico’s Palace of Fine Arts, are saying they had no knowledge of the stunt, according to Metro. INBAL authorities are now investigating Mobarak because Kahlo’s works are considered national treasures, and destroying one would be a federal crime.

Barudak posted:Federal Crimes, yessssssssssss I'd even go as far as saying this is actually terrorism, not any different than when people destroy any other form of significant historical artifacts. This reminds me of a part of my crypto experience that I don't recall if I mentioned. When I was involved with this banksy NFT project, they wanted to do this sort of poo poo too. "Turn the Banksy into an NFT to immortalize it forever and then destroy it". I reminded the person that before they consider it they should take a million photos of the artwork from a million angles and be sure to use a professional grade camera/pay a photographer to do so and submit it to national archives. Then again not sure Banksy knows or cares. To this, they didn't understand or blink at the concept of anything involving archives. Apparently people have no idea how much they're loving any concept of art.

lynch_69 posted:It bums me out that the leadership of a company like Chipotle or SquareEnix or Ubisoft has to latch on to these empty buzzwords and pretend it's the greatest thing ever, for what? To appease their shareholders by adding the words "Blockchain" and "NFT" to a quarterly report? These executives aren't dumb, they know none of this poo poo has any actual use but they play along. Are their core businesses in such trouble that they need to desperately gin up any interest in their stock prices by dabbling in blockchain? I know this is how GameStop is staying afloat, but they've been a dead business walking for several years now - to see actual established companies like a Ubisoft or a SquareEnix or even Chipotle scrape the bottom of the barrell like this makes me wonder if a lot of these large companies (and the economy at large) are desperate and out of ideas. I know that everyone's already pointed this out, but I just wanted to reiterate: the executives are dumb. Well, not exactly dumb, but they usually only have a superficial understanding of their business. Executives think in buzzwords. AI! Blockchain! Gig economy! Whatever's the new hotness in business, they swarm it like moths to a bright light. They're extremely bad at distinguishing between stuff that is genuinely revolutionary, like AI, from things that are just hype, like blockchain (and even with AI they don't understand how it works and assume that it's magic fairy dust they can throw at any problem). The only things they understand well is executive stuff: board meetings, securing capital, company balance sheets, layoffs, etc.

Why would what a company does have any effect on its market price? Are you stupid? Just HODL and shut up, normie."

PITY BONER posted:The GME bagholders are my favorite vocal internet idiots in the non-crypto financial sphere, especially with how deep they've gone into conspiracy territory over the falling price of their stock and the awful company it's connected to. The last time I checked on them a couple months ago, they were gearing up for their "battle to $40" to bring the price back up when it it hit the low $30s. How's that going for them now? I'm probably confusing them with AMC--was the gamestop boom at all effective on keeping the company alive? It was either them or AMC that was able to pay off some debts and keep the lights on for a while after its stock exploded.

They basically offered to buy $20,000 worth of Chipotle as a PR stunt. I'm not terribly surprised Chipotle PR/Marketing people jumped on it, though I'm a little surprised they did it for such a small amount of money. Chipotle had about $20M in revenue per day last year.

I’m a cheapskate. I like buying used games. Games at GameStop are always, always more expensive than buying off eBay. I’m not even talking a few bucks I’m talking double or triple. Last week I got a used PS5 copy of Assassins Creed Valhalla on eBay for $10, shipped. Looking at GS right now it’s $17. It’s even worse if you look at anything vaguely new. Just looked up the PS5 version of Elden Ring and used they have it for $55. There are a bunch on eBay for ~25 with less than an hour left so call it ~30 plus 5 shipping. It’s even worse if you want to sell something. There is literally no reason to buy or sell with GameStop.

Used at GameStop means 5 dollars off new or 2 dollars off new. When buying New it may or may not be unopened. GameStop loving sucks lol Edit: or they charge more for used than new!
