Well, who raised that idiot?
At some point you have to take responsibility for yourself. You cant just blame every failing on your parents.
Its the first step in therapy.
Blame parents, forgive parents, realize you now control your future, realize youve controlled your actions and future the entire time, forgive yourself.
Most people are hovering step 1 and 2, or skip over step 2
I dunno… to me, it didn’t make sense that Bitcoin became valuable. I figured NFTs were just bitcoin tied to a picture, so why wouldn’t they have a chance of being worth something too? Makes just as much lack of sense.
Note: I have never bought any form of cryptocurrency, but honestly, mainly because it was too much of a faff to use.
“How’s the timeshare doing, dad?”
At least Dad got to touch something for his money. NFTs don’t even deliver on their sole mission statement
What was their mission statement? Here’s a picture that you own the copyright of? I don’t see how they could ever make sense unless they were legitimately fabulous images that people loved and wanted to buy prints of
To own a digital asset that only had one original. Something that could have an identifiable, singular owner despite being a digital asset. Problem is no one gives a shit if you’re the original, provable “owner” of a jpg someone else made. Which makes these worthless to all but idiots who fell for it.
You didn’t even own the JPG; you owned a receipt for the JPG.
It’s like claiming you own Facebook because you bought a link that redirects to it.
The most ridiculous NFT was the fart jar girl shitcoin.

I was thinking about NFTs yesterday and how AIs have probably scrapped them all and will happily copy all the monkeys and such.
Think I could sell AI generated NFTs?
Isn’t that exactly what Donald Trump did with his electronic trading cards or whatever they were supposed to be?
Yes! I forgot about that. Too much interesting times to remember it all.
I am sure someone would buy it
Provenance is the biggest issue in Art. NFTs aren’t stupid, thinking that computer generated ape artwork with no actual scarcity is a good investment is stupid.
NFTs are stupid. Provenance only matters when it comes to the ownership of art. For the real purpose of art, the viewing and appreciation of art, it doesn’t matter at all.
For digital art, provenance only matters if someone wants to create artificial scarcity by applying intellectual property laws to art. Trying to make digital things artificially scarce is stupid.
Of course provenance matters in appreciation of art. Do museums put up fake artwork or do they only try and show actual pieces from the artist.
People who buy art absolutely care if the artwork they paid for is genuine. Collectors absolutely care if they can prove they own something that others don’t.
Sure, if you don’t care about artists getting paid at all, or you don’t care about authenticity, then NFTs aren’t for you.
Of course provenance matters in appreciation of art.
Of course it doesn’t. Do you need to know who painted something, and who owned it, to know whether you like it or not?

Yes, and fuck those people.
If a museum advertises a Picasso but it is fraudulent most people would consider that a bad thing.
I care about artists getting paid. Sure, hate collectors all you want, but getting rid of them reduces the purchases artists do get.

Who cares?

You don’t need NFTs to ensure artists get paid. You don’t need intellectual property laws to ensure that artists get paid. Most of the best art in history was made before intellectual property was a thing, and the artists who made that art generally were paid.
You think most of the artists that made famous art got paid?? Plus you think people don’t care if artwork that is claimed to be authentic is actually fraudulent??
Thanks for demonstrating you don’t have serious or informed opinions.
You think most of the artists that made famous art got paid??
Yes, I do. Have you heard of Patreon? Do you know the word it’s based on, “patron”?
Plus you think people don’t care if artwork that is claimed to be authentic is actually fraudulent??
People care about all kinds of things. Maybe instead of worrying about whether or not something is authentic, they should just think about whether they like it.
Thank you for demonstrating that you don’t actually like art for art’s sake, you care more about knowing your art comes from a famous person.
What’s very dumb about this is that the rings themselves are probably already non-fungible, so even then, it’s dumb to store an NFT inside of them 😬
It’s funny, when NFT’s started I said it was the dumbest thing ever and everyone online jumped all over me and down voted me into oblivion.
Not sure what internet circles you were in, but I’ve hardly ever seen people be positive about NFTs in mine
The dangers of using reddit
Was it the monkey drinking it’s own pee? Because I don’t care what the critics say, that one is priceless.

Oh no, I’m sorry that my dyslexia caused so much trouble for you, random person on the internet.
Have you considered just growing the fuck up?
I think the one who needs to grow up is the one who left this butthurt comment.
I think the one who needs to grow up is the one who left this butthurt comment.
Yes. I agree. The one who left that butthurt comment that I’m now replying to should grow up. You are very wise.
Ooh, an attempt to turn around and pretend you’re not butthurt! Not only did you leave that long comment, I can even see you edited it. How long did you stew on that reply?!
I’m dyslexic. A lot of my replies have edits because I’ll notice I used the wrong word. I’m just doing to block you now. Enjoy being a dick to strangers on the internet.
You took an opportunity to say ‘whoops, thanks’ and moved on, but turned it into ‘watch me dig myself into a hole’. I have no horse in this race, and I was empathetic until you got aggressive, but then you just kept going.
I’m disabled, too. That doesn’t mean you get a free pass at being an asshole just because there’s a screen in front of you instead of a person. Own your shit.
