We have researched this. Far more than you, apparently.
“NFTs are not a scam”
Because currently, that’s all it’s used for. And no one has come up with any use for an NFT that isn’t far better handled by existing tech.
“The whole point of almost every democratic government is to find consensus and compromise with people who might have the worst opinions you’ve ever heard but are still part of the same society you are.”
I’m getting mine next week. I would have gotten it this week, but why take the risk of side effects, and wasting a day off?
No. It’s not too new to point out that the “art” is absolute fucking shit, and has tainted the idea of NFTs on top of the environmental destruction they cause.
“You can in real life sell your BAYC NFT for at least 200k USD”
But this isn’t Anime. He didn’t just tweet out a clip of an Attack on Titan scene. He tweeted out a clip doctored with his murder fantasy.
“Owning the image of the NFT does not confer the benefits of the NFT.”
“I defend Kotaku quite a bit, but this one is a missed opportunity to discuss culture and technology’s influence on art.”
“Just imagine a popular band releases NFTs for a song. The NFT owners could make passive income from airplay, sales or streams of said song”

“Did it not matter when someone from the left did something similar to Trump?”
So? Even if it was just “low rung edgelord shit posting,” that’s nowhere near acceptable to do to a coworker.
“He may have a genuine defense”
No, it wasn’t. This idea that “It’s a joke, bro!” is an excuse for being a despicable person needs to stop. He sent out a video clip depicting him violently killing one of his work colleagues. I know if I sent something like that in the company Slack, I’d be extremely lucky to only get a stern talking to and removal…
The worst part of all this NFT bullshit (well, aside from the environmental destruction and money laundering), is how shitty all of these images look. Like, if some artist, instead of just showing their work at a gallery, put their collection of different paintings up for sale as NFTs, that’d be one thing. But every…
