I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread

Is there an explanation for the constant beeping in the background of the video this is from other than "one or both of the parents have their seatbelts unbuckled"?

To be fair, with some NFTs you do get reproduction rights thrown in. (Probably not if bought from the biggest vendors-cum-scammers, a handful of companies handles most of them, I've seen the fine print for one and ownership is not transferred in NFTs they list and sell.)

Edit: Understanding is as easy as remembering there's a sucker born every minute, and anything crypto attracts them like flies to poo poo.

Yep. Basically this. 99.95% have no appreciable rights associated with them making them little more than a "name a star after yourself!!" Certificate but for a piece of digital "art".

Even when they do have rights thrown in, who upholds those rights? The answer as always is the courts. This just fundamentally makes NFTs a very expensive and inefficient way of signing a contract, with the added bonus that since the'yre ~~on the blockchain~~ when a scammer issues a bunch of fraudulent ones it's much less easy to get them removed.

This then has a host of legal problems because a lot of these grifting shitstains make the smart contracts that organise these things have nice touches like "every time this is sold, the original artist gets 10% of the sale price!!", which would be great if it didn't piss all over the right of free alienation (absolutely critical to property law) and the right of first sale doctrine (again, absolutely critical in copyright law).

the entire thing, as with crypto, is an elaborate grift based on tricking people into thinking this solves a problem that never existed in the first place, BUT WITH BITCOIN!!!

Has anyone actually gotten rich out of crypto? As in managed to convert $millions worth of bitcoin into cash or tangible assets?

Yes.



Yes we have.



But anyone who understands this thing has no desire whatsoever to convert precious BTC into ANY other asset.



This new money technology has absolutely changed lives. Many lives, and very dramatically so. It will continue doing so for a very, very long time.

I've been trying to teach you this for so long, but your cup has always been too full to listen.




Perhaps finally you'll listen now.



Perhaps not. Perhaps at USD $100k / BTC. Or perhaps not until USD $500k / BTC.



But sooner or later...



You will listen.



You will break.



You will capitulate.



And when that day comes...



For the first time in your arrogant, know-it-all little life...



I will laugh with you, instead of at you, nocoiner.
