The funniest thing about NFTs is all the real companies that fell for that shit
The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations
Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.
Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.
Heads up, we have a genuine cryptopeddler (don't say it's about crypto, because the goalposts keep moving even as the peddler argues for NFTs and related grifts) in this thread, and the entire carnival barker routine is now in play, including "beat capitalism's casino by doing a newer shinier capitalism casino" and messianic "this will change the world and revolutionize everything" speeches.
Only minutes ago I got a hate-reply here from a totally neutral poster saying that that crypto peddler wasn't a crypto peddler and tried to shame me for dunking on the crypto-peddler.
Because I'm calling out the cynical grift you're pulling.
You're claiming that the answer to capitalism is more capitalism, this time from a shiny newer casino that is already majority owned and operated and pushed by ruling class capitalists and that will somehow topple capitalism and bring about an unspecified utopia that you've been vague about so far but have used techbro language to try to dazzle people with your bullshit.
“ You're claiming that the answer to capitalism is more capitalism”
I read this in the Christopher walken more cow bell tone and I just thought I should share. I got a fever and the only prescription is more capitalism
Yeah, and some people do profit from that. That's the whole point. The problem being that the poor can't afford to lose that gamble and they lack the connections or insider information to make better informed bets.
But the crypto peddler said this new casino is different and better because the internet and the future and jargon words and revolutionize the world
I'm confused. The rich and poor can bet 50k on a company? Surely you see the difference between losing 50k making 50k a year and losing 50k as a multimillionaire.
Affording something is just about having the cash on hand to buy it. If you can't deal with the consequences of the loss you're not really affording it no?
Even with less extreme numbers the point still stands. You're misrepresenting and or misunderstanding UlyssesT.
You're actually seriously pulling the "internet was new once" card.
That's fucking cringe, even among cryptocurrency communities at this point.
Capitalists destroyed the image
Capitalists so intentionally destroyed the image of a rent-seeking scheme. They didn't just fuck up by being credulous and gullible by believing people like you and buying in.
