NFTs (thread now extremely NSFW)

I have Bugs Bunny and Lebron Space Jam NFTs, will I be able to retire on them in a few years?

ah Damien Hirst, all the fucking charlatans coming out to play

I was able to get the first two Bulls NFTs, one of only 26 people that have gotten them all so far. Just when I think I’m out, I get pulled back in.

There's that lake house, coming up. ^^

And now I’m 3 for 3. Next three drop over the next three days. I’m sure my luck will run out soon.

some of hirst's early work is interesting.

I'm the person who started all the fuss @FameLadySquad and @queenship_ project. I have enough proof to state that FLS was created by 3 males who are also behind a whole bunch of abandoned NFT projects.

And their "signature" convinces me Queenship is also their product. Thread/

Those Damien Hirst NFTs that went for $2K in July are now going for over https://www.nftstats.com/collection/thecurrency00K.

Whoops: going for over $100K.

i believe that converts to exactly three jugs of milk in the post-apocalyptic world

So much has happened with NFT’s in the last month, it’s been absolutely insane. I’ve stayed mostly on the sidelines, floor prices for everything I’ve been interested in have just been more than I’m willing to risk. Made a bit of money flipping the WNBA top shots that just dropped.

How is that Bulls one doing, Jeff?

Unfortunately, still waiting for them to launch their market place.

just the worst

what's the worst? NFTs?

nah. there's probably something worse. Something even more more speculative. Something that can be integrated even more tightly with things that have nothing to do with money.

they're tacky status symbols

but reading that helped me understand the appeal more. i have never been one of those guys who wants an expensive designer jacket. i have never considered it. i would never, ever spend my money in that way, mostly because i don't have that money. maybe other people see me that way - they see me buying a $50 game that actually sucks really badly, and i only play it for 2 hours. i've done that a couple times. for me, at the time, i had $50 and it wasn't a big deal. now, at this time, $50 is everything and i would never throw it away like that. maybe nfts are like that for other people that have more money. they don't realize how completely tacky their purchase is. it's an investment, or a frivolous evening.

anyway, that hypothetical expensive designer jacket. maybe nfts are like that, for some people. it's probably more healthy for me to just think of them like that, and the people that buy them as the kind of people that buy really nice designer jackets. they're out there for sure, and they're usually really popular and influential people, but also they suck

Dirt is, of course, selling their own tacky NFTs

Ooh I been dirt, but I don’t care.

Coinbase launching an NFT market place: https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/10/12/coinbase-follows-ftxus-into-nft-trading/

Glad to see OpenSea getting some more competition. They’ve had some growing pains.

it used to annoy me, but now i love how crypto and NFT language is sort of staring down German (the language) in terms of "ridiculous compound nouns"

I read a Twitter thread that describes NFTs as the evolution of spending money to put someone’s name on a star. It’s basically buying a spot in a ledger and you don’t own shit. Gotta respect the grift.

it's in the first post on this thread lol

I still haven't seen anything about nfts that make sense to me and I've been paying attention to a lot of different projects. I want them to make sense, because it feels like it could, but it just reads as another way to spend money, so it's like, cool, new money thing

Because of amazing blockchain technology every NFT is guaranteed to be absolutely unique in the universe. ofc, because of slight variations in DNA, every pig-ear dog chewy is guaranteed to be absolutely unique in the universe, too.

Daddy needs a new meditation mat

Rising Eth prices and gas fees have killed a lot of my purchasing. Mainly focused on topshot and still turning a profit when flipping those. Also took a chance on a MLB icon pack today. No marketplace yet, so who knows if the pack will have a plus expected value.

Sold one of my rare Bulls NFT rings for $300. They screwed up the marketplace launch and made it difficult to buy, so I just priced it to recoup my total cost. Still have two more that I can profit from. If I can get ~$300 for the other rare one and a little more for the iconic, I’ll be happy with the investment.

If I can get... I’ll be happy with the investment.

Glad to hear you may make some money out of your speculation. But calling them an investment just seems wrong.

Coiners Taking L’s has been good this week with coverage of NFT NYC.

i hate this dumb fake money pyramid scheme shit so much

yeah it's excruciating

and if it works, if say, jeff, makes out well and makes a ton of money off of "investments": well, fuck you, it's exactly what's wrong with everything. but what can i say, i'm just a whiner. maybe i want jeff to make 1 trillion dollars off of total bullshit. what does it matter

what a fucking terrible world

it may be how the "world" works, but fuck the world, if this is how it works. a 100 times a million, fuck anyone involved with it. you might be rich and be able to afford your stupid bullshit, but i'd much rather go down with the losers, fucking hating you all the time

this thread might as well be titled "fucking asshole investors"

go lakers NFTs!

!!/!?1?1?1?1?1?1?!?!?!

of course anyone in the position of me is a loser. i lost already. you won, jeff. your dumb world of NFTs and crypto has won. congratulations

i'd rather eat shit, so i will

I HOPE NBA NFTS MAKE A BILLION BUCKS TOMORROW, HAHA

what a terrible fucking world this is, i don't want to live in it

i think the main argument against someone like me is like "what a fucking snobby asshole, i'm just trying to live here and make money and the world sucks anyway and i'm just trying to make some extra money", and my argument is something like "fuck you. fuck you. fuck you. fuck you. fuck you."

just such a failure of humanity, the worst parts of everything combined, gross, for money, for MONEY. fuck you

people who live for money, fuck you, and the fact that i care about how wretched it is, fuck me. but mainly, fuck you
