NFTs (thread now extremely NSFW)

where did all the NFT accounts go

— Atrios (@Atrios) March 8, 2022

Long time passing

I don’t have them, I flipped them all almost immediately after I got them. Thank you, greater fools than me.

After flipping the high value ones, I still have a bunch of low value Topshots, but those are fun to collect. Could sell for $1-3 each, but I get a nostalgia kick from them. Same as all the mass produced baseball cards from the late 80s that are sitting in a closet in my parents house.

Please stop telling us these things

lmao

I don’t know how else to participate!

I got a box of baseball cards today, opening them is going to be way more fun than a NFT could ever be.

i found this yesterday. someone trying to sell letters of the alphabet, alone and in pairs.

https://opensea.io/collection/eth-letters

(and i think they missed a trick by not including an actual eth (ð), which is what i was searching for)

What letter were you in the future?"

hmmm....i think i was the letter i am big fucking douchebag

I had that idea months ago, how is he doing?

sold one.

i spent about half an hour browsing the website looking at the other collections. 30 minutes of my life i will never get back.

has anyone done numbers yet, u cld probably make bank on 420 & 69 & 80085

I can't tell if this is real or a bit

How's your week?

Mine? I just erroneously listed @etherrock #44 for 444 wei instead of 444 eth🤦‍♂️

Bot sniped it in the same block and trying to flip for 234 eth

In one click my entire net worth of ~$1 million dollars, gone

Is there any hope?

Am I GMI?

we are > or < eight years from some dude in his thirties at the bar talking about how he was a eth millionaire, man i had it all

I can't tell if this is real or a bit

I guess if you looked on the blockchain you could figure it out, I just assume these stories are

Welcome to my lil corner of the @some_place metaverse. Can’t wait to welcome you all in soon 🤍 pic.twitter.com/QWfsdFGqzr

its hard to explain but the Metaverse feels like something from 2018

Second Second Life

playstation home - 2008-2015
vrchat - 2014

it's over https://www.ft.com/content/46349496-790a-4223-8c65-d6a0bde897bc

I liked the Metaverse better when it was called Date Ariane

According to a Financial Times analysis of OpenSea, the average price of a Bored Ape NFT, a collection that counts celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Snoop Dogg as owners, has fallen 44 per cent since the war in Ukraine began as investors pull back from trading colourful cartoons.

I can't believe Putin would do this.

sxsw sounds like literal hell this year

https://www.vice.com/en/article/88gb75/at-sxsw-a-pathetic-tech-future-struggles-to-be-born

It's really good that Vice is reporting on hyper-capitalist marketing arms that ruin SXSW

i literally never link to vice but i like the author, can i have one as a treat?

just going to link again via this tweet, to spite you and to also share the cursed phrase "land acknowledgment NFTs"

I keep trying to pull a quote from this and honestly the "bees" line, the phrase "infinite scarcity," and the fact that it had me darkly wondering if anyone has already made land acknowledgement NFTs should be incentive enough. Great work @bigblackjacobin https://t.co/cK16u1ANCW

SXSW seems to have changed since I last went in .... 2002. It was all webloggers with bulky digital cameras then. If only I could have told them about NFT's, prevalence of anthropomorphic rabbits, and the coming of the bees.

Is music even the focus anymore?

Chaotic good:

this shit simply can't crash fast enough

it's good that someone who didn't give a shit about NFTs ended up cashing out.

The Meta search trend: "what the fuck does that mean" "oh that's fucking stupid"

Howard Schultz just unveiled his big plan to win back unionizing Starbucks workers: "We are going to be in the NFT business."

Here’s a list of 3.9k Twitter accounts that have lost their “.eth” recently: https://t.co/7pZ0htko6U https://t.co/gl0i1Hl3IQ

lol at shaq being the first name on the .eth drop list!!!

at first i just assumed it was the display name and not the account name, but then, look at the number of followers for the account, which lines up with legendary basketball play shaquille o'neal (15.6M)

this is also a fun list

FWIW the top of the list of accounts that haven’t lost their .eth yet is Paris Hilton https://t.co/bBQaCO7EPs

— Travis Brown (@travisbrown) April 8, 2022

so these are people who have and have not divested?

Nah, just people who changed their Twitter usernames. Nothing to do with anything real (insofar that crypto is real), just funny to see who is still promoting it

gotcha

I'm not sure what kind of understanding anyone can have about these things. Like, when Snoop says he's going to sell "Nuthin' But a G Thang" as an NFT, what does that mean? Does the person who buys it have the right of make money off it? Can they license it out? Take it on or off of streaming services? Or, if not, what do they own--just the bragging rights of having a digital address for a famous song?

The contract for the Christie'sauction of that Beeple artwork explicitly stated that the buyer had no ownership or reproduction rights of the original image. Thats almost certainly the case, explicitly or implicitly, for all other nft sales, even if there's something specified in a "smart" blockchain contract, such rights exist solely in the real world.
