Wtf did I read lol, half way through I thought I was having a stroke, apes vs Pacman!
I wasted 15 minutes of my life to understand why he is staying that "blur" is crashing the price of that jpg
It looks like that there's a new nft marketplace that created some shitcoin as a reward for users. When someone trades a jpg , the platform print this worthless monopoly money and give as a reward for the user. Because there's dumb people that is buying this monopoly money thinking that surely it would be worth something, whales are exchanging those jpgs between them in order to get the free monopoly money as a gift, so they can dump them immediately and buy more jpgs to exchange.
What a waste of compute energy
I have no idea how someone can say this with a straight face
but what kind of protest is "I'll have no choice but to sell the ape"?
like even if your "threat" is losing you as a member of the community, you're still selling it to somebody else who will just take your place
Wow, if this is actually sincere and not a gift of some kind... this person is really sad and pathetic.
Most scams prey on people with more money than friends.
I must be invulnerable to scams then
Collecting Magic: the Gathering cards works much the same way, except you at least have some tangible cardboard with a highly variable price instead of a digital token signifying you own the concept of an ugly piece of digital art at the end of a day.
Ohhh so they don’t target me because I don’t have either!
I mean, ha ha funny joke, but realistically, yes. Someone with no money and no friends or family with money is a waste to advertise to. You fly under the radar by virtue of being a statistically bad investment. You'll still get hit with all the same shotgun-style advertisement that the rest of us do, but you're unlikely to find yourself being a priority for targeted advertisement. It's a little bit of a silver lining to an unhappy situation.
Oh don’t worry I was cutting along the ‘funny because it’s true’ line.
Some of the shotgun stuff would get me, if I could buy basic amenities without crying.
I’m full on with team silver lining, I have a roof, for now.
When a homeless person asks me for money and I tell them I'm unemployed and live on the basic income the state gives me they say they're sorry and wish me good luck, they know lol
Yep, every single time. If I have some smokes I don’t mind sharing though, at least.
I'm sooo glad I don't smoke, I don't know how I didn't start
I don’t really smoke either, honestly. Like maybe some weed but usually I just carry mini cigars for a social thing.
I’m sure his wife and kids are deeply relieved by this news.
During dating: "and then i spent $300k to buy this monkey jpg..."
What a scam, my fursona didnt cost me anything
Fursuits are expensive AF, but they are quality products custom made by skilled artisans.
And drawn art can cost a pretty penny as well, but it's still more bang for your buck than NFT art
Yeah, but those aren't required dress code or anything. Most of us just make some shit up out of our heads that sounds cool and go with it. Then we'll fill all our online gaming and social media account profiles with it.
