here's the thing with NFTs. either you are actively, consciously scamming someone, or you are being scammed. If you are not thinking about scamming someone, you are the scam victim. great job. you got scammed. because you believed in NFTs lol
there is no middle ground; if you are in NFTs, you are either a rube unworthy of my respect or you are a thief unworthy of my respect. there is no scenario where you can be in NFTs and a person who deserves respect.
if someone is like "we can make SO MUCH MONEY doing NFTs" and you don't google "how do NFTs work/what are NFTs" you aren't an intelligent human, if you do google, you will find out why they're bad very quickly. if you push ahead with it after finding this out, you're a bad person
like, this is one of the most clear-cut things in the world: there is a scam market based on telling people it's about making digital "like the real world art trade" when you really are just selling digital certificates around on a fake digital currency hoping to find a victim
there are four kinds of people who are involved in NFTs:
1) the person who doesn't know anything
2) if this person chooses not to research and dives in, they're a sucker
3) if they research and dive in, they're a scammer
4) if they research and back the feck off, they're good
if you're sitting here telling me "people should get invested now because in the FUTURE the algorithm is gonna be better," they're a genuine feckin sucker
"Imma participate in this thing that MIGHT make me money because I'm a goddamn ****ing moron who went to a NFT marketplace (that benefits from tricking me into thinking NFTs are good) and saw people 'winning' (because they hide the majority losers) despite eco issues" = idiot
"well one day in the future they might not pollute"
okay well right this SECOND it's more costly than literal real world gold mining for a ****ing gold star that tellls you that you own a JPG and the second any NFT company shuts down (remember mt gox?) you lose all your money
I cannot explain enough how there are only going to be about a hundred winner and then there's all of you, the suckers and losers and greedy dipshuts who don't realize you're the fecking marks
