quote:

“Dead NFTs: The Evolving Landscape of the NFT Market” is a new report from dappGambl, a community of experts in finance and blockchain technology. Upon analysis of 73,257 NFT collections, the authors found that 69,795 have a market cap of zero Ether (ETH), the second most-popular cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin. In practical terms, that means 95 percent of NFTs wouldn’t fetch a penny today — a spectacular crash for assets that reached a trading volume of $17 billion amid a frenzied bull market in 2021. The study estimates that some 23 million investors own these tokens of no practical use or value.
But it's not just schadenfreude on the cryptobros, there's enough to go around:

quote:

The “Dead NFTs” report observes that the nearly 200,000 NFT collections “with no apparent owners or market share” identified by the study caused carbon emissions equivalent to the annual output from 2,048 houses, or 3,531 cars.

that's only the NFT collections that never sold a single one, though. Each transaction adds more wasted electricity.

Ethereum (the tech behind most NFTs) actually managed to make big cuts in their energy consumption not too long ago by switching from "whoever has the most computer makes the rules" to "whoever has the most money makes the rules" . Bitcoin is still using vastly more energy

Running Of The Bulls isn't a fight. It's a gamble on whether you can run faster than a tonne of pissed-off steak; the prize is getting laid for the next year.

He resigned as CEO of News Corp. He's still Emeritus Chairman of both News and Fox boards, so he's still in the room when decisions are made. He should die rich, and happy, but He's also almost finished preparation of the Pain Nexus which will transfer his life energy into the chalice of his Son.

Every company is different, but Emeritus Chairman does not sound like a title for someone who is in a lot of decision-making rooms!

Kick streamer Ice Poseidon, recently known for nearly killing himself walking to Everest base camp has been assaulted by someone in Australia who fell for his crypto rug-pull scam

And he then gets arrested for sexual assault

I have no idea about context for any of this beyond the tweets I posted, but lol :toot:
