Happy New Year to all!

Let's hope for the endemic phase as quickly as possible in 2022.

This is a hilarious thread:

an up-and-coming crypto scam—er, project—has managed to dunk on cryptobros better than any satirist i've seen so far, with one of the most painful-to-watch youtube videos i've seen in a while. join me in hell as we watch this together: https://t.co/m6ptLfU1jU

And the video, taken down from YouTube, can still be seen here (below). It’s astounding that it’s apparently not satire:

cryptoland video mirrors so they aren't buried in the thread, since people are having trouble finding them:
* original video from the commentary thread: https://t.co/e0pB8gqj4M
* animation extended cut: https://t.co/9lqK4NPRQJ
* founders' video: https://t.co/BtPSUmGb4T

I think this is useful advice for people of all ages.

Unfortunately the great punchline, that the quote tweet avatar has copied the NFT avatar, is cropped out in the post.

I have no idea what any of this means.  Like zero.

This is excellent.  Absolutely love this.  Whenever I stumble across this thread I'll watch it a few times and get the same positive emotion each time when listening to such a great mindset.

Still don't understand the fascination with NFT's.  Give me the tangible product over a digital one every single time.

When we all live in the Metaverse, NFTs might be worth something. They’re just reasons to throw away money in the real world.

Still don't understand the fascination with NFT's.  Give me the tangible product over a digital one every single time.

The only thing I've ever heard that makes sense to me is that it might eventually be a way for companies to monetize what a lot of people enjoy for free on the internet right now. So, like, if you could own a popular meme or what have you and have some sort of legal way to charge other people to use it. Obviously the technological or legal infrastructure might not be there yet to make that realistic now but I also don't underestimate capitalism's desire to affix a price tag to every aspect of the human experience.

This is the single greatest video that will ever exist and the monumental effort that it must have taken to create it imbues within me a level respect that is only equal to the fear of the possible crypto future that it gave me.

It’s a feature length movie in duration, so if you’re bored and curious about the history and impact and consequence of cryptocurrency and NFTs, here you go!

(TLDW: it’s all a big scam)
