Terrible investment. That was probably like 2 months of his income.

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.

To be fair, there are active buy offers for that one for ~$5k. The $155 figure is a collection offer, meaning someone is ready to buy anything in that collection, no matter how shitty it is. And, at practically zero liquidity (only one of those ever sot sold after minting), the concept of value becomes meaningless, he could accept the offer and take back $5k, he could list it at something like $20k and it'd likely quickly sell, or he could bullshit one of his rich friends to buy it from him for a million... or he could print that out and jerk it off to it, the therapeutic effect of which might be worth millions for his entertainment business, who knows.

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.

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

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

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.

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

NFTs were 2021? Damn that was a while ago.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 1 month ago

I remember mocking NFTs. The stupid things only ever had one single legitimate use case - helping ensure that artists got fucking paid for their work - and was obliterated almost immediately by the second dumbest bubble ever.
