Also, note how those silly crypto coins don't have an intrinsic value and are thus subject to ridiculous market speculation deciding their worth. Whereas your glorious monkey NFT remains a link to a monkey JPG no matter what! Checkmate, doubters!

A youtuber said "lol this is easy as gently caress to do"
Earth 2 ceo challenged the youtuber to do it in 7 days then.

Poor cryptobros, forced to try and get back their toys through a centralised government-backed law-enforcement body. The INDIGNITY! :negative:

So he wants teenagers to buy NFTs?

Makes sense. The pre-teenager market is already cornered by Roblox.

NFT’s have not even started to be a thing yet. This goes way beyond simple things like pictures, but i feel like you guys are probably getting paid to crap on NFT’s since I have not seen a single positive post or even one that explains what NFT’s can actually be used for

This white knight is sooooooo close to understanding, but falls just short...

Another solid laugh. Like I kinda get the appeal of what's being dreamed about here in a weird way, just there's no reason it has to be done in this dumb loving way.



I mean, who doesn't dream of having to grind their MMO crafting materials in Candy Crush?

And in classic cryptobro fashion, there's still no explanation for why those mechanics require the use of a blockchain. Or why gaming companies would want to incentivise you to play the competition's games instead of theirs.

"He spent 5 years building multiple startups in the crypto space" <- is it just me or that sentence doesn't exactly scream "success"?

Plenty of old rpg franchises did it within the series: the various gold box series, wizardry, eye of the beholder, possibly dungeon master (to CSB), Dark Sun (to the sequel that shall not be named). Clearly these guys secretly had mad crypto skills, no other sorcery can explain transfering characters/items/content between games! My theory is that they invented crypto back then, but they knew the haters would dunk on them, so they kept it low profile.

Funnily enough, unlike the rest of its contemporaries, Ultima didn't do that, but Lord Brexit is the one furiously diving into NFT as his previous scam dies ever so slowly.

Look, at the end of the day, the website content is irrelevant. What matters is that the NFT contains a link to said website! Buy now before they're out of stock!

Well, with Spore, he already has an industry track record in overpromising/underdelivering, which likely makes him a perfect fit for NFTs.

I like the "Vaporverse" term and hope that it sticks.
