Generally if you click on people's post history you'll see hundreds, if not thousands, of previous posts about BBBY, so if they are trolling, its a very committed troll that begins to border on not actually being a troll anymore.

I'm sure that lots of people have just silently left once they realized they've lost everything, leaving just the most deranged believers. But there's probably people who secretly realize the truth, but feel compelled to keep up the charade because they want to sell their shares to a sucker for at least a small fraction of what they paid for them..

Is blockchain based event ticketing a real thing or just Vaporware? A colleague of mine was discussing it but I couldn’t understand how it would prevent produce the benefits he claimed like preventing scalping etc.

No matter how much blockchain they shove into a thing if the asset can be traded to someone else then a market will form around it.

To give a practical example, can 1 + 1 = 3? No, thus the scalpers are locked out. QED.

I'm trying to figure out how blockchain accomplishes anything other than formalizing the space in which scalping would operate. Isn't the whole point of web3 to turn everything into a speculative market?

There was some idiot scheme at some point claiming that your used ticket stub NFT would be a huge collectable you could resell in the future for BIG BUX once the band dies or something, it's all a grift trying to shove as many middlemen between existing middlemen as possible on the promise of future profits for your literal garbage.

Also it could be tied to your ID unless you resell it properly? I’m assuming they could set it up to do that pretty easily.

I thought of something darkly funny regarding the BBBY cult today. A lot of them could probably get a pretty solid loss to use for tax purposes against capital gains if they sold now. You can even use a little bit of it each year against ordinary income. The loss can be carried forward until used too. But they're just too deranged and ignorant to realize this rather large benefit staring them all in the face. It's probably going to be harder and harder for them to sell and realize the loss too as time drags on. Even this late in the game they are still making the categorically wrong move, worried instead about absurdly tiny fluctuations in the miniscule residual value of the stock.
