    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.

    Like a lot of the art world, I’m pretty sure these were mainly used for money laundering.

      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.”

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

      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.

      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

    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.

    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.

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

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