When my these first arrived my brother was all about them. Dude was stoked and thought he was the next billionaire. I then asked him what's to stop someone from copying the image? He shrugged and idk man man but im going all in. It was on that day that I knew my brother was tarded

Tbh I get it from a certain point of view. We all made fun of bitcoin at first but now it's pretty common for people to wish they could tell their younger self to get as much as they can afford.

I get the idea of not wanting to miss out on the next thing that did that.

Bitcoin is still fucking shit. That just amounts to "I wish I was there first in this this pyramid scheme". It doesn't change what it is.

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 6 points 3 days ago

Sure, never said otherwise, so you can see how someone could theoretically think maybe nft is the next bitcoin and want to get in early.

There were enough layers in that pyramid and enough years in construction to have room for more people to make a buck.

What’s the difference between a scam and a bubble, and is the bubble more legitimate or just a bigger, longer scam?

  • NFTs were a misuse of blockchain giving no real value. Plus it was very short term and really only rewarded scammers and manipulators. A true scam.
  • Crypto is better thought out and actually could serve as a currency. It has a bit more staying power and even enriched a few non-scammers. Does that make it a “bubble” ?

Did we make fun of bitcoin? It was a cool currency for buying drugs on the black market at first.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I made fun of it immediately, despite also recognizing and using its ability to facilitate online purchases of contraband.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

The "next Bitcoin" has just been Bitcoin every time. Right now is its umpteenth bubble.

My first wife was tarded. She's a pilot now.

Yep! Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives!

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Why come you don't got a tatoo??

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

She pilots the Tardis.

My one regret is that I will never be able to find all the really stubborn, dimwitted assholes on reddit who were screaming bloody death-threats at me for warning people that NFT's were a scam, and be able to just verbally ream them out, fucking rub their faces in their own shit.

I bet some of them are out there, reading this maybe, maybe they even recognize me.

If so... hi. How you doin? 😊
