Like everyone dunks on them because they've created a "culture" around owning an ape picture and that culture is clearly aesthetically, artistically and morally bankrupt, but honestly I would rather be able to buy a house than be "right"
idk he has a point, i appreciate the honesty, it sounds like it comes from a real place of struggle which i'm not sure everyone else dunking on him itt comes from? when you see an acquaintance go to hawaii or whatever on bitcoin or whatever and you've spent the last 10 years of your life thinking "maybe i can afford to travel somewhere nice in 5 years," OR you've watched the housing market soar past any point of affordability for you and you think that you're going to be renting an apartment for the rest of your life, there's a little shit in the back of your mind whispering "you're missing out and not getting in on something that would benefit you and your loved ones."
am i going to dabble in this shit? no, because of the reasons that people have cited already, i don't want to take on another risk, it seems like it's too late, and most importantly, ultimately i get more pleasure from not working for a market all the fucking time, and doing whatever non-"productive" stuff i want to do - it makes me feel happy in a way that investing in this stuff, or even investing in a more acceptable scam like the stock market, would not. if that means i can't afford to buy a house, an insane luxury that doesn't really facilitate the lifestyle and values i want to have anyway, than so be it.

not everyone else makes that decision, i understand. i don't begrudge those that want to live. via the NFT, the only way to live, i guess. but yes, i'll be dead by that point
is it bleak? am i bleak? i would rather be dead. i would rather the entire universe blinked out then see people i know get enthused about bitcoin. what a horrible, horrible place to live this is. it's better to be dead

that's nice. in the meantime, maybe you could stop making threads where people want to have a serious discussion about a topic nsfw?

Everything was fine until the vaginas showed up. Then the serious dialogue disappeared

I hate NFTs and thinking about them breaks my brain but I have a compulsion to look at this thread to read about ape theft and other implausible developments
However I could have done without Wallogina spam, even with its storied ILX history

good lord, doesn't everyone know how to deal with this? just post a bunch of shit (like usual) until the vaginas are above the fold
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 2 January 2022 17:22 (four years ago)
