Whay stuf about ntf is bloating video when video starts almost with raycon?
you know that the ADL defended elons salutes?
17:55 Swastika is not Hakenkreuz idi*t
0:49
@Irobert1115HD They're also basically just a far-right fascist group in general, defending the German AFD for example
The halo guy saying "Apes stolen" will hopefully be the only cultural impact these have in the long term
all my apes gone
So true lol 😂
Jeff Steitzer just saying anything on Cameo was such a gold mine. "Skill issue" was my personal favorite
Well, i hope Seth Green grows up a little mentally after buying into this crap, as well.
The NFT fad was completely Astroturfed and you can't change my mind on that. It disappeared as quickly as it appeared
the laugh of keanu reeves at the "Digital scarcity" allways makes me chuckle
9:40 Yeah, he knew what was up and clearly wasn't falling for it. He knows they're just Jpegs so his laugh makes it all the more funny lol
I had to rewatch that segment so many times. Trinity looks like she has no idea what bro is even talking about
It's not even a proper laugh, he giggled.
He obviously thought it was BS and had been approached about it before.
When referring to NFTs, yeah. That was hilarious… because they are hilarious. Completely useless, yet people spend millions on them. It's insane
Would love to see that fully animated as Shadow the Hedgehog.
Keanu saying "That are easily reproduced" and laughing as the interviewer tries to chide back in with "But they're not the same-" is so funny
He called him a nut?
Brother please re read your comments this made no sense
@stumpymcwhiskey You know you knew what I meant
@Gemstone_rr Downvote
Keanu really summed up the whole thing
Artists have been selling character adopts for decades and the tech bros just ganked that process but worse 💀
And adopts also suck
@somebvnnythey make money though. Spend money too. But my friend paid their rent selling some of these characters. Not nfts though
It's about the same. This is pretty much what adpotable people themselves wanted, and nowadays the business is literally just selling AI generated character designs.
As someone who's sold adopts before when I was a teen, I wouldn't care about nfts if the way they were sold wasn't set up as a rug pulling scam by rich people to get even richer and if it wasn't harming the environment. If it was just how a normal art transaction happens, then who cares lmao
I'm an artist, and i still don't understand why adoptables is even a thing
Someone once told me NFT stood for "non-functioning testicle" and I haven't been able to get it out of my head ever since.
I find this offensive as testicles are actually useful
@deadheat1635ah but you see Hitler had one non-functioning testicle so it fits perfectly into the Yuga Labs crypto-fascist narrative. 😂
One of my favourites is Nasty Fucking Things.
Not fucking tangible
That is now officially what nft stands for
the whole nft movement is so bizarre how it came from nowhere and seemingly left out of nowhere too with about a year of scams inbetween, like there was truly nothing worth it there
It’s largely because the entire concept is a scam. They marketed them as you buying something on a block chain when in reality the most you were doing was buying the right to know the location of the file.
It really only existed to make a ton of money for a few scammers and drive shareholder hype. The concept of the metaverse replaced the second one and then the rise of Generative AI replaced both.
@MrMonkeyCommanderthat and money laundering
That's peak capitalism.
I think people thought its gonna be just like crypto. People were laughing at people who got into crypto early, but no one is laughing now when the same people became millionaires. There are plenty of people who became rich because of NFT's too so in the end it wasnt that dumb (for them at least).
Every time a crypto bro goes broke, an angel gets its wings
and a AI bro gets born as the counter....
@Irobert1115HD dumb gets dumber pipeline
@isekaidev7803 well given that the bible condems greed and that crypto is driven by greed the bible agress with @jacole1234
@isekaidev7803 Wow. It's a very common non-religious phrase.
@AlmightyEyethat doesn’t mean it’s a good revenue stream, bud. People make tons of money in the drug trade too
I'm surprised that no one seems to have pointed out the obvious "eye burning" issue yet.
These were NOT UV stage lights. They used germicidal UVC lamps which are hazardous to the eyes and skin.
People experienced what's also known as "welder's eye" , "arc eye" or "photokeratitis". Welders who don't use eye protection experience the same issues.
True, and this was obviously not BAYC's failure except in getting shoddy contractors to build and decorate the event facilities. I suppose there was some kind of metaphor there?
@helbent4 It was done by a Chinese company. They're notorious for using shoddy and unsafe materials, and not building anything to "code'" or Best Practices. The resulting construction work is commonly referred to as "tofu-dregs".
@helbent4if you allow a venue you paid for to injure people, it's your fault. Knowing the history of Yuga, I'm not sure it wasn't purposeful, with an "oh no, what happened" after.
@VCV95
Look I hate Yuga but there's zero upside to them using the wrong lighting that has a risk of injuring people. The cost difference between using UV lights and UVC can't have been so much that Yuga SAID to do this. They've made millions of dollars off their NFT's, they're throwing parties and hiring celebrities to be there, why would lighting be the very specific and only place they cheap out? It makes way more sense that a contractor found a way to cheap out (probably already had these lights or knew a hospital getting rid of them or something like that) so they could charge more but spend less, and thought it wouldn't be detectable.
NFTs are literally the dumbest shit you ever seen, what are we even doing.

I think i hate every single person in this story.
I’m only at the Raycon commercial and I have no doubt I am going to agree with you by the end.
Hey what did Keanu do?
@magenlin redditors idolize him.
Agreed. NFTs: by dirtbags, for dirtbags
The amount of BS in the whole NFT craze is staggering.
I was sitting in class with my friends screen shotting people NFTs on Twitter, and people actually were genuinely mad 😂
Good :)
@jesseroberts1041 youre a nut job
Once got someone to try and doxx me over screenshotting his nft. He failed so bad he had to delete his account and make a new one. I followed his every step for a couple of mo ths until he moved platforms
@ToxicMothBoi lmfaooo
@ToxicMothBoi that's hilarious i love it
Keanu mocking nfts is why he’s such a beloved celebrity
The guy destroyed a costly NFT? I call that a hero
I call it stupid. It's like when people get mad at a country during a conflict so they buy an iconic product of the country just to destroy it. Like getting mad at the french so you smash some expensive wine. Doesn't hurt them any. It's toddler behavior.
@ANPC-pi9vu Except it did hurt them
Dis you saw how it promoted a copy of those nfts to "prove a point" when im pretty sure those prices are thounsand or hundred of dollars?
I'm happy both sides lost in the end.
@ANPC-pi9vu if it doesnt hurt em..why are u butt hurt over it? nobody got hurt so wheres the issue
That's a wild story, but NFTs are dead and we're the better for it.
Yeah?
@auto-train4013yeah
I remember talking to this dude on FB who claimed to be an investor (doubt) and he was putting me down, declaring his financial superiority for buying NFTs
When I told him they're literally just JPEGS he went onto claim that it was a flex that he spent thousands on JPEGS
I wonder how he's doing now...
Probably decided to go swinging from the rafters, as it were.
I had a buddy blow 10k on that crap. I tried telling him he was wasting his money, but he was pissed he turned down bitcoin when it started, and didn't want to miss out. Spoiler alert: he's now 30k in debt and his wife left his irresponsible ass. (He was taking out credit cards and "investing" in every get rich scheme behind her back.)
I had a similar conversation with a guy in a group I'm in and explained to them that NFTs are like going to a store, buying something, and then not getting the actual thing but a chance to just view said item. It was supposed to be a reasonable explanation / conversation, but the guy clearly got fired up when I pointed out these facts and mentioned he clearly hasn't done his research if he kept spouting the usual spiel of what makes NFTs so "Great". There really is no saving these people and I wish them all bankruptcy for following such a pointless trend.
He probably truly believed he was going to have generational wealth for having some copy pasted, digitally housed, ugly monkeys or whatever other garbage was passed as a NFT profit venture
i think my trading cards during 90's has more value
I will never understand why anyone agreed that low quality jpegs were worth more than a house and chose to buy them.
I can see a select few doing so. Like what Snoop did. He bought one that fit his image, and he used it as a logo/mascot for a product. Doing this probably gave him some free advertising/product-awareness, aiding the launch of his product. His probably made him money, without needing to sell it to another sucker.
But for everyone else, yeah, it should have been obvious they had no value. Just a gag gift type thing so you can say "I participated in this meme" and laugh.
Tech bros will buy into anything that looks new
@Axterix13 He could have had someone whip up a mascot design for him for a fraction of what he paid. He could have asked AI to do it for free. AI would have made a better looking mascot.
no, they bought a chance to make money through finnding someoone dumber trhan them who would pay more, turned out, asome of them were the dumbest couldn;t pass it further.
6:52 - "This turned out to be a scam..." As opposed to all the other NFTs which were a scam from the beginning.
It's so interesting to see it being talked about. The Red Ape show traced one of my own animations and used it as their own in the show lmao (frontal dog run cycle)
It really washes down points like “the creator’s name is an anagram for a potential slur” when you include it with “the banana splits movie is secretely a nazi dogwhistle”
Gargamel isn't just a fun reference to the smurfs. Sadly.
You remember how people uses to show others that finger circle? 👌
This is now a dog whistle.
Do you remember how southern folks like to say "bless your heart" and "my heart goes out to you"? Both are now dog whistles.
America literally has a Nazi as a president right now.
They're no longer afraid and are stealing just about anything they can get their bigot hands on.
That's the whole point of using dog whistles: it means dense people like you won't think they're Nazi's, only other Nazi's and people who really understand Nazism.
That's the whole point of using dog whistles, so dense people like you dismiss it, while other Nazi's know immediately they're on the same side, and anybody who tries to explain it has their points "washed down" when you don't understand what they're talking about.

The whole NFT thing felt like a troll on aging celebrates and hip business mugils.
Imagine clinging onto a dying fad so much that you even go to their convention, just to momentarily lose your eyesight.
That Philion video's got some real Mama Max energy 💀
lmao true
His channel kinda feels like a grift now only doing stream reaction last I checked
Such is the way of channels. Lolcow next most likely. He is just doing the easy thing for money
@becausevideogames2829 I looked at his channel and boy the guy looks like the slopiest of slop tubers.
Growing up I used to obsess over closed species and adopts I couldn’t and still cant afford. The nft craze was insane to watch bc I had already seen how these things end. I’m so glad it’s over
Why are people upset about it? This is what I don't understand. The whole craze was harmless and stupid and highly entertaining. What is there to have self righteous indignation or sore feelings about?
comparing adopts artist make to support themselves to nfts is actually bizzare to me, you just needed to practice self control ngl
@ANPC-pi9vu I guess the problem was normal people who couldn't afford it getting ripped off. There were real world consequences for at least some of them.
@ANPC-pi9vueasy. Normal people were being exposed to it via their video games and other media's. Companies like UBISOFT and EA (Yes they're bad companies, doesn't stop others from buying their garbage) were attempting to "incorporate" nfts into their games.
So it did have affects on the average person.
Not to mention that abundance of scams, nfts stealing from artists who refused to be apart of the scam and minting that artists works as "revenge"
@helbent4 Ripped off? Maybe they should be better with their money and not buy stupid shit they can't afford.
you know what, all things considered, Snoop actually managed to create an actual product out of it that still goes on today. That's more than what you can say about most of these projects
Probably because he just focussed on making a functioning, selling product. That being said, anyone here ever eat any of it ? Is it good ?
I had some former friends who were convinced NFTs would make them filthy rich, and when I laughed at them, I was kicked from the friend group.
I wonder where they are now… 😂
To be fair they might have been right if they bought in early and didn’t have diamond hands
@guyferrari8124Knowing them, I seriously doubt they would be that smart, but who knows.
I didnt even know nft's existed until I saw saberspark's video
@guyferrari8124 Most NFTs never made any money for anybody but the creators. Either because they never sold enough to ever get to the dumping part of a pump and dump or because the project was some other kind of scam.
So for his friends to have been lucky they would have had to buy in early on one of the pump and dump schemes that went all the way in particular, and then happen to sell right when the dump started.
Possible, of course, but for all we know they might have also just won the lottery in the meantime.
26:23 I can't help but get hung up on the fact that he said "predujices." It's like he went so hard in the schizoposting that even spellchecking was too much.
I remember thinking at the time
"This Feels like an elaborate 4 Chan Thing that the entire Pandemic world fell for
So the first trump administration
@guyferrari8124 schitzo
Down *_88%_* you say?
🤔
pls no, I’ve spent $6 million on them. Now they’re worth around $200,000.
Oh dear God, it all makes sense now, maybe the schizo was actually right!
@nightingaleseraphoh what?
Really makes you think
I....still....don't.....understand..... My old brain can't contemplate how this is a way to pay for anything if anyone can look at it and reproduce it.
Not to mention…why not just use normal money? 😂 Ah yes, lets just replace the concept of banks/established money we have endless amounts of, for a digital coin thatll disappear with an emp.
And i know i ONLY use my credit card basically, but still lolol.
You not even paying for the image . Your paying for a worthless claim of ownership.
As someone who knows some people who were in this scene. From their own mouths, think of it like Fox News. It’s just abusing a loop hole. Like how they have news in the name but rarely give actual news, this is just a loophole where when they inevitably are worth no money, they’ve already made off with their money. It was a scam from the start
Think of it like the digital version of those “Own a Star in the Sky!!” scams that were super popular back in the day. Most of those companies were caught “selling” the same star over and over because there is no real way for their customers to prove they own the star other than the certificate the company would mail them. Same idea, people spending money on the idea of owning something intangible.
Every... piece....of.....art.....ever....That's why I would never invest in art. The amount of forgeries and fads and scams in the art world is crazy.
"The pictures of the monkeys on the internet were made by nazis because I counted the number of teeth" is admittedly an extremely insane sounding justification.
I know it sounds ridiculous, it really is, but the sheer amount of things like that made it clear that it was intentional. If you go through the website or the video Phillion made it's undeniable. Both the projects and the men behind them are filled with plausible deniability but the number of double meanings go beyond chance.
@kingofhearts3185you’re beyond dented if you think conspiracy stuff like that about those dumb ape pictures is real. What is most likely is the creators added some stuff that “looked cool” and some of it might be 1930s German coded
@kingofhearts3185it's absolutely insane that even when the absurdity was shown, people like you still believe in this lmao
@kingofhearts3185schizo moment
@Cheekia2that’s why they’re dog whistles. Only people who knew can point it out, and thus you look insane
burning the apes could be a reference to the windmill people burning books, he must be part of them
Cryptobros have ruined NFTs and have moved on to Pokemon cards.
Oh lord... what have they done to pokemon??
You can't ruin what's already in shambles
16:35 it actually does
That Ripps guy needs help. He is awfully close to being right there with the 4chan crazies. The horseshoe theory is very real.
This just rekindled my burning hatred for NFT’s
Even I as someone who didn't like NFTs or Bored Apes in the first place think that whole expose of the Nazi connections was very schizophrenic.
Wait till you hear about the racism accusations they had as well.
It is still more Twitter/tiktok hate dogwhistling labels than actual racism/nazism (especially when Twitter/tiktok hate”folks” destroyed and washed down meaning of every word they use to mob people that can’t win argument against)
@SuperCosmicMutantSquid If you associate apes with a certain group of people, guess who is projecting their racism on who?
Right?! But the fact he was MARRIED to Azealia was already a red flag
That's the whole point of using dog whistles, so dense people like you dismiss it.
23:49 was NOT expecting Yuga from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds to be mentioned lmfao.
And honestly it’s such a perfect name for something like this too a guy who turns ppl into 2D art for a company who sells 2D art
9:38 I completely forgot about Keanu's epic giggle in this clip. Sums all our feelings up in one simple action 😂
They were not even buying a picture, they were buying a link to a folder containing the picture. So easy for the seller to cash the bitcoins and then delete the picture from the folder. The buyer was left with just an error message and nothing to show for all their cash. I don't know much about the blockchain or even about computers but you didn't need to be a genius to realize that buying NFTs was just a waste of money.
cash out the bitcoins? what are you even yapping about?
this.. literally is not how they work. No one was left with any sort of error message, and you can't just remove something from the blockchain. Because of that fact, it gives proof of ownership of SOMETHING verifiably and in a way that the NFT cannot be changed by anyone... The tech behind nfts is really cool, but the use cases that became most popular made everyone hate the term
@stephen2224 Yes, you can't remove anything from the block chain. But images are so big it would cost a fortune to put them on it, so instead sellers will upload them elsewhere and put a URL pointing to it on the chain. As soon as the image is deleted or moved, that URL becomes worthless.
@stephen2224 I'm just repeating stuff I've seen online but maybe I understood it wrong. My point is that spending 20k or 50k for a link to a jpeg image stored on the blockchain was not a wise financial decision. You could spend the same amount to commission an artist to make a piece of art especially for you. Something you would hang on your wall and pass on to your kids and grandkids.
@alephalpha Yeah you dont know how crypto or nfts work lmao. You type like you're old too so maybe thats why
That Philion video is unhinged XD I dont even like NFTs but it's really quite something when someone like that in RUclips sells BS wholesale.
"To be fair, Bored Apes felt different."
No they didn't.
I’m screenshotting this video
It is a moral imperative to destroy scammers.
9:38 if you need proof for thinking Keanu Reeves is based.
I already miss TheGoonerFromMars arc
I need context
@MyEarsHurtsif you take a look at his uploads, over the past couple of months he’s had a number of videos specifically centered around porn actresses and their lives/controversies. At first it was like one or two video centered around those kinds of topics and spread out over a couple of weeks, but it reached a point where every other video was a porn related video for a bit. They weren’t bad videos it was just really noticeable when the channel started pumping out more porn related video essays than game/Lol cow related videos like usual.
The documentary about the former porn actress known as Christian Chandler was the best one
“Valuation” is just “How much hype can we generate and fraud people with”
The ADL called bs on Ryder 😂😂
I love that you used the Keanu Reeves clip. That man can do no wrong i swear
A Raycon ad in 2025 is wild
The whole thing just felt like a giant con. They're literally trying to sell images anyone can own by a click of a button
Okay, now the same needs to be applied to Labubus
Hey as dumb as those are, at least they're a physical item you can touch and throw out of a window in rage when you realize you invested in Beanie Babies for Zoomers.
Omg please someone make a website claiming they are secretly a front for pdf files communications or smth
Remember: Things only have the value you assign to them. The fact that this even happened is sheer insanity, fueled by people with too much money.
it was all a scam. Jimmy Fallon and other celebs had their nfs given to them by the same agency
The entire NFT craze feels like it happened last year.
When you got schools falling apart while rich folks are paying $200,000 for little jpegs, your taxes for the rich are too low.
bad people losing money is music to my ears
The Ryder ripps stuff shows that if you look into anything too deep you can paint it as racist
Sounds like it
The main dude was a dead ass nazi lmfao
This commenter known as Wolfpaw754 is racist since their username is a dog whistle to the Third Reich. Mustache man was called "the wolf" by his close friends (I'm not joking), the "paw" in your username means lifting up your hand to salute, and 754 is a reference to the WW2 German submarine called the U-754.
This took me three minutes of researching to label you as a racist just by overanalyzing your username and seeing patterns that aren't actually there.
On one hand yes this shit proves that the artist needs therapy, on the other hand, it also helps demonize NFTs to be unfavorable so....
@heistingcrusader_ad3223Demonizing NFTs with schizo rubbish doesn't actually help, it actually worsens because now you're making NFTs look reasonable in comparison. Valid criticisms of NFTs help, schizo posting doesn't.
"They both grew up in Florida" Never had a bit of information come out so quickly and so many puzzle pieces fall into place
i get nft was terrible idea, but the guy who went to started calling company racist and that went bit to far and some stuff he suggested was bit stretch and kinda insane.
Well the troll was married to Azelia Banks so…/
and then to immediately sell the monkey's under a different name is clue enough.
"don't worry we scrubbed the dog whistles, they're still monkeys tho."
Simianisation wasn't that big a deal to him I guess.
And nothing of value was lost.
I remember someone opened a shoe store in my local mall that had a framed BAYC image on their wall. They didn't last long.
This actually makes me feel sorry for Yuga Labs. And those are words I never thought I would write.
17:15 also i love when ppl use words they don't fully understand to seem smarter. "calculate" doesn't make sense in this context since they'd just be compiling data, not "calculating" anything
that troll feels just like the american eagle mess. unbelievable
19:05 It's actually Hindu cosmology. Kinda like how we have the "age of aquarius" and all that stuff. The Yuga is the 4th and last age in a cycle.
17:55 he is calling Hakenkreuz Swastika raise that issue
and the phillion video mentions the Yuga stuff.
This all happened because people were dumb enough spend millions of dollars on art you don't even own.
The snoop dogg ice cream is actually pretty good
Is the syrupy waffle good? It sounds good until I think about syrup in icecream form.
@michaelharrison5725 honestly thats been the one that I've not been able to find. Im not sure why but its like it just never gets stocked around here
The laugh Keanu gives after tossing out that banger puts a smile on my face.
The amount of confirmation bias in some of the people calling the apes racist…
That's the whole point of using dog whistles, so dense people like you dismiss it.
Everyone that spent any money on these NFTS deserver everything they got
with all the bullshit we deal with today, we can all rejoice that atleast nfts and metaverse aren't included
They ran out of new suckers.
17:55 it's not made to look like swastik, it was made to look like Hakenkreuz.
Not all heroes wore capes, sometimes they hunched under a bridge
God you know your reaching when even the ADL thinks you are crazy
0:13 _... and Jimmy Falon_ 😉
Man, NFTs were really a bad idea, but AI just destroyed the whole concept of digital scarcity with nuclear fire.
I remember something from the NFT craze, Tara Strong tried shilling for one called the Holidayverse with a movie tie in, she doubled down on it when she got black lash and the film never released.
I love how the same people who said "4chan is just a bunch if idiot trolls" found it so scary they literally had to overtake the board with bots and then ultimately they ran it (to the ground).
wew lad
Long story short, NFTs are cringe and a scam.
'a fool and his money are soon parted.'
Last time I was this early I had to apologize.
It's hilarious how NFTs lasted like a year
~8:58 | Wait, _this_ was the source of Dr. Bombay? I instead recognized the name because of the artist behind songs like "Calcutta (Taxi Taxi Taxi)" and "S.O.S. (The Tiger Took My Family)".
Keanu laughing at these morons gives me so much joy
As much as I hate NFTS, I'm not convinced they are racist or anything do with nazis
I remember calling out the absurdity of the nazi allegations at the time and I got called...a nazi.
You live under a rock
That's the whole point of using dog whistles, so dense people like you dismiss it.
This is why no one cares anymore. Even if any of that symbology is intentional, references to historic shit doesn't make a person a Nazi. Nazism is a political movement, a subset of Fascism. Apparently making any edgy references or jokes now makes you a political and economic movement. It's so stupid.
@SimianIndustries You live on the internet.
Imagine if someone managed to short these things.
Back then I did fall for the BAYC = Racist article, and even now some of the evidence still *sounds* convincing
...and then you have shit like "COWABUNGA" and "BINGO" that make everything fall apart.
From experience people who actually think like that are very straightforward. Dog whistles are a politically rotted excuse to see enemies everywhere
@bobhoskins124 Dogwhistles _are_ definitely a thing, they just used to be more common before we had major politicians just... well, "saying the quiet part out loud" is how it gets phrased now.
@PhysicsGamerthats just saying things. Am i crazy or is your point completely nonsensical? A dog whistle is a secret phrase straight saying it is not the same thing. How rotted are you people? Hahah. Also as a person who has actually fistfought arm band wearing members of what you call others go outside and talk to people before screaming thought crime and giving labels.
@PhysicsGamerthe people I fought are like volkswagon but instead of a wagon its front haha. Hopefully this goes through. Hopefully
@bobhoskins124 Whether or not you are crazy isn't my concern. My concern is that claiming dogwhistles don't exist is asinine.
25:40
I am genuinely impressed how you managed to read this all out in one take without breaking down laughing.
The absurdity
Tbh honest I clicked on this and thought it was a turkey tom video
thank god it's not can't stand that guy lmaoo
@socksbenjelloun5196yeah he has a certain "annoying smugness" to him, like Pirate software but smart enough to not claim grandiose achievements
@heistingcrusader_ad3223his voice is mostly what annoys me but he's said some pretty awful stuff in the past and is like 20 something still with the humor of a 14 year old edgelord
Ordinal Maxi Biz cannot be stopped
A-list celebrities? Jimmy Fallon is c-list in the talkshow industry alone.
His ice-screams pretty good tho
Shortly after discovering Patrick Boyle on RUclips, he did a bit on the Bored Ape NFT and “Number Go Up.”
i also hate NFT but not to a point of accusing nazi shenanigans with a (i made it up) evidence
If all you have is a hammer and you are desperately looking for anything resembling a nail, chances are you will see them everywhere no matter how far fetched it is
It is strange how much secret messages there are in them and if you know the internet there's definitely nazi shit in there but it's just trolling not actually Nazism
That's the whole point of using dog whistles, so dense people like you dismiss it.
I mean... there always has been a rather large contingent of if not outright nazis then veeeery nazi adjacent people in the crypto space. It's not unimaginable. 😂 it's fairly likely tbh.
(Speaking as someone who spent years within the space from very early on)
He could have spent all that effort to debunk NFT's as a ponzi scheme and investigate economic fraud, and cybersec vulnerabilities wich would have caused much more damage than acting like a schitzo and losing a court case for 8.2 mill...
Can't think of NFTs without thinking of the kid who set the "all my apes gone" tweet to the tune of California Dreaming, which still brings me joy.
EDIT: That Banana Splits part is the most tin-foil hat thing I've heard outside of Facebook.
Couldn’t care less about the video’s inaccuracies, just glad NFTs fell off 😂
Nothing is worth $4B until somebody actually pays $4B for it
This sounds just like an updated version of the South Sea Bubble.
The value of a bored ape NFT seems to be what someone else is prepared to pay for it - no more, no less.
That's how literally everything that is sold on the entire planet works. You can claim a shoe you found on the streets is worth $1million, but if no one would pay more than $1 for it then that's what it's worth.
@axeldiaz7441 It does seem to be the way of the world, I agree. "Beam me up, Scottie. No intelligent life down here!"
@axeldiaz7441 Real things have tangible value due to like-things being cheaper/better quality. NFTs, as everyone figured out, were a big scam for money laundering, and weren't actually worth anything at all, ever. Claiming something has value because it can be used to launder money is to not understand what "value" is.
