I cut ties with him a few years back after he started selling a bunch near its peak because it changed him a lot he became a very self-centered douche and would give no money or help to anyone and unfortunately I think he was a little too smart financially otherwise I would have tried to skim some from him but oh well.
I can't imagine why he didn't want to give you any of his money

His long association with Randazza makes it clear that his personal wisdom is, at best, hit and miss.

Enough money to hire a personal tailor who knows what you mean when you ask for "that JoJo look," not enough to hire one who can actually pull it off.

Same with modern jewellery,
No offence, but of course you can't resell a used, retail-bought item for what you bought it for. That isn't why the diamond market is a scam. The appraisal also isn't 'what can this be sold for', it gives an assessment of what the ring is and a sort of hypothetical value that is meaningful for insurance purposes, though I agree that system is weird and intentionally opaque at best.

The diamond market has rough similarities to NFTs in that it relies on manipulating the public perception of value while artificially constraining supply. I haven't checked recently, but I know for a long time the chief executives from De Beers weren't able to visit the US because they would be arrested for antitrust violations or something along those lines.
The diamond market is deeply artificial for sure, and in a way other gems typically aren't (other crap like turkish diaspore might qualify but that's not even small potatoes in scale). They pushed too hard for too long and now lab diamonds are getting ready to eat their lunch.

Every post in that subreddit is fake as hell and this isn't the one thread devoted to pretending they're not.

Surely the first NFT is that drat rock with 'peace on earth' written on it.

I used to be involved with an open source art project and I saw the toxic effects Stallman et al had on the culture.

Scarodactyl

Stallman is an awful person who is (on some points) technically correct, and him being put on a pedestal taught a lot of people a very bad lesson in how they should behave. As a result there was way too much of, and tolerance for, people being technically or ideologically correct while also being impractical and/or huge pricks. There were lots of great people too but the stallman-lites really dragged things down.
There were also a lot of people trying to push "libre" a a term because Stallman liked it even though it sounds bad and communicates nothing to anyone outside his orbit.
