NFTs (thread now extremely NSFW)

Good luck explaining the 21st Century to any humans still surviving after the 21st Century is over.

well, shoot, y'all, it's with a mighty heavy heart i gotta up and tell ya 'bout the sale of my ol' buddy, salazar, the fella with egg all over his mug most folks 'round these parts know me when i'm with him my young'uns reckon i'm his partner in crime, and heck, i even courted my missus with this egg-faced rascal been part of my hide for a dog's age

me and ol' salazar, we've been ramblin' 'cross god's green earth together, from them fancy hotels to them rowdy honky-tonks, and them peaceful beaches too but doggone it, them shenanigans of damon albarn and his britpop troupe done gone and turned my egg-splattered pal into a dime-store trinket ever since damon albarn moseyed on in, his market price done fell from a sky-high 85 eggs down to a measly dozen

regrettably, i gotta bid adieu to my ol' buddy to save what's left of my bacon 'fore it's cooked to all y'all good folks in the egg-faced brotherhood who've been sendin' kind words my way, i tip my hat to ya 'til we meet again down the road, so long for now and who knows, maybe one day we'll cross paths again on the other side of the fence until then, take care, y'hear

Two brothers who studied at one of the most prestigious universities in the US have been charged with stealing $25m (£20m) in cryptocurrency in 12 seconds.

Anton Peraire-Bueno, 24, and James Peraire-Bueno, 28, are accused of wire fraud and money laundering.

"The Peraire-Bueno brothers stole $25 million in Ethereum cryptocurrency through a technologically sophisticated, cutting-edge scheme they plotted for months and executed in seconds," said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.

"The defendants' scheme calls the very integrity of the blockchain into question," US Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement on Wednesday, referring to the public ledger that records crypto payments.

The blockchain can never fail, it can only be failed.

I have a former colleague that's gone full-in on blockchain, and the more I read about it, the more I think it's all a load of hogwash

If you commit the heist fast enough, you should get away with it. Like the 5-second rule when you drop food on the floor, but for crime.

Let ‘em go, they taught people a valuable lesson.

I have a half-nephew who I used to have a great relationship with for years and years but now he's 100% blockchain and when he's not talking about that he'll go on about how he made the switch from hot showers to ice baths.

not sure which is worse tbh

Ice baths. I think so...

everybody who trades NFTs has to take ice baths due to the kidneys they sold to keep their bored apes

can't believe this guy is on course to lose an election

The UK Treasury has abandoned its proposal for the Royal Mint to develop its own non-fungible token (NFT).

In April 2022, then-chancellor Rishi Sunak ordered the Royal Mint to create its own 'NFT for Britain', which he claimed would become “an emblem of the forward-looking approach the UK is determined to take”.

However, the scheme has now been quietly scrapped.

On Monday, UK economic secretary Andrew Griffith said that the plans for a Royal Mint NFT were not moving forward “at this time”.

Sunak announced the NFT for Britain in April 2022, they admitted the plan was being scrapped in March 2023, apparently the average price of NFT token sales fell by 92% over this period

There's got to be an Andy Griffith joke in there somewhere that both yanks and brits would get.
