NFTs are not marketed as “you now control this image and any and all copies thereof from this day forevermore” If they were, you’d have a point, but they aren’t, so you don’t.

That seems like a completely different argument. Because it might be some rich dumb fuckers getting separated from their money rather than John and Jane Doe doesn’t make this less of a scam than say Bernie Madoff or Theranos (both of which also involved rich dumb fuckers getting scammed).

Creators can better keep track of their right and projects

The scam is that they own the actual digital asset, when in reality what they “own” is a transaction record on a blockchain saying they own the asset. Does the original file “CryptoApe#237.jpeg” exist on a server somewhere? Sure, along with perfect copies of that file existing on the hard drives of every person who…

Yeah, his “further statement” boils down to:
“Sorry you all took offense to my 100% true statement that the guy I think is the best choice is better than any Black woman out there.”

Even worse is seeing said shitty message from the CEO, followed by all the fawning comments from the suck ups and ass-kissers. “Oh great and wise benevolent CEO, thank you for sharing your magnificent vision with us all! So #blessed to work with a company that is embracing the future!!”

“haha, any criticism of Dear Leader will subject you to termination, LOL!!”

I mean, a lot of cheaters are really good at the game they’re cheating at (which helps them get away with their cheating), but their ego demands they be known as THE BEST. See also: Mitchell, Billy.

I mean, you could use album sales, Grammy Awards, concert grosses, things like that as measuring sticks.

Don’t you hate it when you’re scheduled for a big job interview and somebody mistakenly texts you congratulations meant for the person who’s already been hired?

They’re too busy being triggered by the empty words painted behind the endzone and on the back of players’ helmets to acknowledge that.

Biden had to commit to nominating a Black woman for SCOTUS in order to secure Rep. Clyburn’s endorsement prior to the South Carolina primary, without which he might very well have been dead in the water.

I’d like to know anyone who thinks a 44 year old dude was playing at an MVP level relying only on TB12 pajamas and avocado ice cream. I have some exciting investment opportunities for those people.

He had to announce it to get Clyburn’s endorsement, without which he would have been dead in the water during the primaries.

This so much. 90+% of getting any particular job is who you know rather than what you know. Once you get your foot in the door, then you can prove your worth and do an outstanding job, but even then that doesn’t mean someone who never had that opportunity couldn’t have done just as well if not even better in the same…

Tech in general suffers from this bizarre desire to reinvent the wheel.

Nah, they’re thinking that if someone buys a $20 NFT, finished the game associated with it, then sells that NFT for $10, then they get their cut, whereas the person who bought it for $10 might not buy it for $20.

The point was to make the fictional protagonist’s accomplishment more impressive because she not only was the best female player in the world, but she was willing to take on and able to defeat the top male players, unlike the then-women’s chess champion.
