Get fucked.

We had this ruining the art world right before AI started taking its shot.

NFTs died miserably.

Now it's AI's turn.

[–] Heikki2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Id probably have bought it as a sticker for 0.50 or a dollar when I was 10

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

A fool and their money are soon parted.

I somehow....didn't fall for these?

[–] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 3 points 47 minutes ago (1 children)

Who with a clear mind and IQ above 0 would fall for that? Seriously!?

In Germany, we have a great saying for such stupid people: “As dumb as a five-meter (~5.5 yard) dirt road.”

"that's a driveway!"

Trends often look obvious in hindsight. What’s interesting is how every cycle teaches people something new about hype, risk, and timing.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 27 minutes ago

But this looked obvious the moment it popped up. At no point did I ever think this was a good idea.

I bought for the first time a few NFTs this year. Basically that was the only way for me to buy FIFA WC26 tickets in the FIFA blockchain.

[–] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 3 points 51 minutes ago

Humble brag.

But I wouldn't support the ~~football-loving~~ corrupt FIFA and the ~~United~~ Divided States with their fascist ~~president~~ dictator, no matter how much I like ~~soccer~~ football

[–] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

That scam exists because of all the deregulation. With proper regulation all the people pushing NFTs would have had to pay back all they stole.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago

I used to think Bitcoin was a ponzi scheme. I still do, dut I used to, too

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

"Today it is worth $155."

LMAO. No.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 hours ago

Yea ... I agree, it really REALLY isn't worth $155.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

I'm very sure it's the same kind of shit with the retro game ratings https://youtu.be/rvLFEh7V18A

[–] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If it was easy to buy, I would pay $5 for this thing, so I could tell the three people in my life that would be amused by my owning it. That's the floor on the market, for this particular one - so it still has a long way to fall.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 2 minutes ago

I'll make you one of these for $5.

[–] khanh@lemmy.zip 10 points 8 hours ago

Can confirm, I took one look at NFTs back in 2021 and immediately said "that's fucking stupid."

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 8 hours ago

It's like a tax on stupidity.

[–] F_State@midwest.social 16 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

$155 looks a little high to be honest.

The very idea of NFTs were wild. You don't own a physical image, you own something kind of like a copyright to an image but you don't in fact own the actual copyright. But it's gonna cost you alot of money and somehow make you even more money someday.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You own a sign with a link to the image.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago

And there isn't even a guarantee that link will work in perpetuity.

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 15 points 13 hours ago

Odd, I always thought they were a means to launder your money.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 11 hours ago

the Pauls so thier grift was dying "targeting children for views" so they pivoted to maga.

[–] Bleys@lemmy.world 38 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

no one else going to point out that Logan Paul is somehow not the worst person in that picture

[–] GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

For anyone wondering, she's a conservative influencer who worked with BlazeTV, Toilet Paper USA, contributed opinion pieces to RT and, unsurprisingly, has ties to the Russian government.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 21 points 21 hours ago

More specifically, she and her husband founded tenet media, who ACTUALLY FOR REALS laundered Russian money to shitheads like Tim pool and Dave rubin.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 3 points 14 hours ago

Is that Lauren Chen, the Russian agent?

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 2 points 13 hours ago

But the Metaverse!!!!

[–] Kellenved@sh.itjust.works 115 points 1 day ago (3 children)

What an indictment of our society that this fuck ass ever had that much money and now has more

How the hell is it even worth $155?

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 17 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't it worth exactly what the highest bidder will pay? Where would the $155 number come from? Seems like an NFT famously owned by Logan Paul would sell for more than $155 anyway. Not saying he'd make a profit here...

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

No, literally nobody cares so nobody’s going to pay.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Believe me, there's a guy out there willing to pay $250

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago

Hurr-durrrr!

(Said the guy)

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Wouldn't even pay for his jaw repairs these days
