  • Edit: I may have misunderstood and the person I'm replying to agreed with my assertation that the tech has been disregarded and that it expands to crypto as well. I expected that assumption was obvious and didn't need to be stated directly and thought the poster was being disingenuous. Leaving my comment up for posterity.

    Don't conflate your ignorance with other people's knowledge, go develop a better understanding of the tech rather than assuming it has no value because you're too ignorant to learn about it.

    Even crypto has a place, doesn't mean it's being used correctly by the majority of people.

    I equate the public engaging in crypto and NFT's to tribal folks who accidentally pick up a discarded radioactive canister, what they have is valuable in the right hands, dangerous to themselves.

  • It's hard to feel sorry for anyone who fell for a very obvious art grift. Even harder to be sorry for those caught grifting.

    Even a cursory understanding of value would have told these people that pretty looking receipts are a piss poor investment, but no, they were convinced that NFT's (a tech they obviously knew nothing about) held intrinsic value despite having nothing of value backing them.

    Everyone caught up in the NFT art grift did so because they thought they could make a quick buck being ahead of the wave of the next big pump and dump like crypto and got fucked by their hubris. The grifter's meanwhile were out here selling them graffiti'd up CVS receipts and saying they were worth the Mona Lisa.

    The result? A perfectly valid and valuable technology has been completely disregarded by the public because 90% of people were too stupid to think before they bought into a tech they didn't understand and they all lost money to grifters. Worlds most widespread art grift and everyone was played a fool, and a valuable tech has been discredited, misunderstood, and shunned.
