I didn't fall for anything bro. Crypto and NFTs arent for everyone but there are definitely a lot of dope projects out there that utilize NFTs and blockchain that arent the yatch club or other well known NFT projects.

Web3 is gonna catch it it's just a natural evolution of the internet. Web1 stagnant internet, send emails, read article. Web2 more interaction, social media platforms etc. Web3 the metaverse AR ( I think VR will be a gimmick and AR will be where it's at), the creator economy, NFTs and blockchain.

All of the worlds greatest minds that built web2 are working on web3, Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Cook etc. There's gonna be skeptics but it's definitely the future if you want it to be or not.

I'll leave this video of Bill Gates talking about Web1 in 1995

We'll see about that and hope for the best. I don't consider those mass usage despite seemingly large numbers of transactions, because what applications are mentioned there don't sound like mass use cases. That is, this is far from what it could all realistically become; There's much more room for growth yet, and if that growth becomes reality, what exists currently will be but a drop in the ocean. Maybe the changes will still improve the situation, but again, I'll reconsider my position once the changes actually happen.

It's gonna happen regardless. We've got far, far too many folks that just flat out don't know, don't care or are completely on board/gullible to allow it to happen.

We've allowed all the other bad practices, I think the publishers know that they can just do whatever they want and then step back when the courts/govs get involved (like how EA had to take a step back from the BF2 lootbox fiasco, but is gleefully stepping over the line again by claiming "NFT's are our future", showing they haven't learned a damn thing). 

I don't want it to happen, but the idiots outnumber the smart, so it's gonna end up happening over time by default. I miss the days when we had the video game crash, back when enough gamers were smart enough to know that games like E.T were utter trash, and that Atari and co just spammed poor quality games, so ppl stopped buying them over time as a result (today that hardly happens, but it can do for obscure indie games or online MP titles that basically don't do anything to set themselves apart). 

I'm going to report you from now on. You are basically promoting the next 2008 crisis.

This is not a game, watch the video and see what's at stake and what the end game is. The environmental concerns are just a distraction from all the real issues. It all solves nothing, just creating new tools to milk the gullible by the (aspiring) super wealthy trying to rig the system in their favor. Or rather create new systems that are rigged in their favor from the get go.

Tell me one good thing crypto or nft do that can't be done in the traditional way and be better for it? I hope and pray that the endpoint of crypto and nfts is a global ban on their use

I find it insulting that those grifting the NFT's try to make it sound like they can do something "new", when in reality the "new" shit they can supposedly do, has already been done by other technologies, people and companies decades before.

But apart from that, it is exactly like you say, a system rigged from the start and made to look like something everyone could easily get into, yet not get what they think they would, because the rich at the top would never allow for such a thing. 

I’m shocked, shocked…..well not that shocked

Hahaha. Good riddance.

Just wow.

Users of Cent were selling NFTs based on images they did not own the rights to and even selling copies of other NFTs, as well as selling NFTs that had been made to resemble other tradable assets.

While Cent has 150,000 users, the same problem has been noted at bigger NFT marketplaces, like OpenSea, which is currently the largest NFT marketplace in the world. OpenSea recently put in place a 50-item limit on its tool for free minting of NFTs since, as was explained on Twitter, "Over 80% of the items created with this tool were plagiarized works, fake collections, and spam." OpenSea removed the limit again after complaints from users.


More shocked that Cent has 150K users and that's small compared to OpenSea. The scam is working, too many fools in the world.
