xp it was just funny when they struggled to even bullshit coherently about them and then would go “well anyway my people say they’re cool”

i think the folding spaces "line goes up" video detailed the scam so clearly that reporters finally understood it.

I got completely out of the fun a while ago, right before everything really started to go south. I did not get rich, at least not by metrics, but I did end up over $10k in profits all starting from the $8 NBA Topshot pack I bought. At no point did I ever put any of my earned income in. Lucky, but it was fun and profitable to gamble for a while during this magical time in history. Memories will last forever.

I follow a reggae thread on the H0ffman forums and there's a dude that runs a small label on there. As of a year ago his big idea was to branch out into NFTs and it sounds like he's still hopped up on this. A couple of other folks tried to gently let him know that they didn't think the average reggae buyer is all-in on NFTs, but he has very much chugged the kool-aid.

Apparently a similar thing happened in HK at a hypebeast party a few years ago but I can't see if the attendees were permanently blinded or if they eventually healed.

Here's how you do it.. create your OWN crypto currency and sell it to the marks
A Colorado pastor and his wife have been charged with duping hundreds of local Christians in a multimillion dollar a cryptocurrency scheme.
Prosecutors accuse pastor Eli Regalado and his wife, Kaitlyn, of fraudulently raising over $3m (£2.4m) by selling "practically worthless" crypto.
The Regalados pocketed at least $1.3m in the alleged scheme between June 2022 and April 2023, prosecutors say.
Mr Regalado said his plan was inspired by God, according to court filings.
The pastor said that "God told him directly that investors would become wealthy" by investing into INDXcoin, a cryptocurrency created, marketed, and sold by the Regalados, according to the complaint.
INDXcoin was offered to Denver-area Christians through the Kingdom Wealth Exchange, an online cryptocurrency exchange owned and operated by the Regalados.
The couple "had no experience in cryptocurrency", the complaint said, and a third-party auditor found INDXcoin to be "unsafe, unsecure and riddled with technical problems".
"Despite that report, the Regalados allegedly continued to promote the INDXcoin as a low-risk, high-profit investment," it said.
"In reality, the INDXcoin was illiquid and practically worthless" and the couple used the funds for "their lavish lifestyle".
