>At some point, I suggested we all do the "Ape handshake." Nobody knew what that meant, so we just sat there in silence, looking at each other, while the waitress asked if we wanted more ranch. That was the moment I knew it was over.What's our takeaway on the rise and fall of NFTs? Was this the last gasp of millennial men trying to achieve financial independence, keep their heads above water, and finally be able to actually live? Did "the dream" just die in a Buffalo Wild Wings in New Jersey?
>>516316105Blockchain, NFTs and now AI.What will be the next tech grift?
Look on the bright side, he bought a house for someone else XD
>>516316105It’s quite a curse to be smart enough to realize you fucked up but dumb enough to fuck up in the first place.
>buy my monke JPG for half a million dollars, someone else will buy it for a full million later
>>516316105literally all according to keikaku, now when they tokenize all assets, every single normie will know in its heart not to buy ape jpegs
Can make better pics with bing in under a minute. I never understand why ppl bought them rather than making their own and selling them as nft to some fool
>>516316105>someone bought bored ape #3707 for 37kk e kek
>there was no greater fool
>>516316105did he use chatgpt to write that post?Doesnt seem like something human would unironically come up with
>>516316180Virtual tulips
>>516318785It's Reddit diction where they have to set the mood and spice up their mundane lame nerd lives as if they were epic adventures.
>>516316105Kek, i love shit like this. Dumb people losing money. It's amazing. I had many chuckles on reddit with paper bag guy hyperventiliating.I'll be shaking my ape if you get what i mean.
>>516318785A lot of modern news articles and even radio news programs are like that. They try to "set the scene" and make it seem deep."There I was a cafe in Burbank on a cold autumn day, I'd ordered a latte, and Jane Edwards, the writer of "Little Women Big World" had ordered a straight espresso. The dark drink seemed to speak something of her firm personality."So tell me Jane, what convinced you to write Little Women, Big World?"It obnoxious as hell.
>>516316105So did the frogs with laser eyes increase in value or....?
>>516320313
great thread. OP is truly a north american patriot
>>516316105Ryder Ripps is the Jew that designed the Soilent Drink that redditors and fags like and he's best friends with Sam Hyde. (((the more you know)))
>>516319568A lot of people lost shit tons of money grasping at straws trying to strike it rich last couple of years. NFTS, WallStreetBets, Precious metals, Crypto. Ironically crypto and precious metals rose but meme shit like bets and NFTs tanked. Whodathought.
>>516318979Solo is actually the only not entirely shit Disney star wars.
>>516316180It doesn’t matter because we won’t have access to a means to earn from it. AI is completely closed off from us and I have no reason to believe that future opportunities will come our way. Bitcoin was really the last one.
>>516316105As dumb as it was to pay the price of a nice house for a digitally signed jpg of a stupid cartoon, the even bigger retard is the one who bought it off him for $37k.The problem with this was that anyone can create a wallet, send some crypto to it, and then use this to "buy" the tokens. So someone could, if they had a say a few hundred grand worth of crypto, buy it off themselves for increasingly higher and higher prices, to create the illusion that there is demand. Combine this with illusion of scarcity, there will only be a certain number of these monkeys, and people are buying them, so buy now before the prices go up even more. The people trading back and forth with themselves only have to eat the fees. All they need is gullible idiots like the guy who posted on X to feel the FOMO and buy in. Now they've made a profit.People turned hundreds of thousands into millions this way, and the idiots bought something with the expectation that this (fraudulently) high price they paid for it must mean it was worth something. Unironically trying to cling to a membership club and secret handshake to delude themselves into thinking they didn't just waste their (life) savings.
>>516316105retards are easily parted from their money?
>>516320313The waitress asked if we needed ranch. The cold wind hit my cheeks flowing through the seals of of the windows. Somewhere a dog barked. I knew the truth at the moment.I kinda like it but I’m currently reading the prince of nothing which is entirely purple prose
>>516316180I honestly have no clue why people keep falling for this and why this bubble hasn't burst yet. Sillicon valley and their cancerous faggot shit have duped millions and not innovated anything for over 15 fucking years. Their salaries are overinflated, they're all cancerous socialist cunts and to top it off they're all headquartered in hellhole cities.>>516321839I'm surprised people had this much money to begin with, you'd be better off investing this in a company actually making a product or just buying real estate and renting it out. The entire e-money scheme is a massive ponzi-scheme.
>AI generated slop posted by Literally Who? on Twitter.Wow, this seems very important.
>>516316105400k for ape nigger jpg.. CULTURE.. COMMUNITY
>>516322124What if i told you civilization is bullshit and money is a social construct? People having hundreds of thousands of dollars means there are billions of people in this world. 1 dollar from each person on the planet to you would make you worth 8 billion dollars. You just have to find a means to get that 1 dollar from 400k people.
>>516322124the people working where you are talking about, silicon valley, are the ones with this money. And they're all youngish retard men that are the type to be on reddit/etc. so easily led. Same reason housing prices rippled out from California. Everyone wants a piece of the retard wales.
>>516318785Reminds me of an article (I think it was VICE) covering CPAC back in 2016 or so. "There I was, feeling awkward among all these conservatives, when Long Cool Woman by The Hollies began to play over the speakers."

:(

why does my government keep investing in it and wasting our tax payer money building data centers?how is replacing us with either AI or indians going to help me?
>>516323888>Dude this shit is so superior to fiat! The blockchain is your bank and the government can't interfere!
>>516316180at least AI can create cats and porn
>>516320313It's called context big boy.
>>516318883i could unironically see that being a thing, buying batches of random number generator seeds for some gay blockchain.
>>516318741The fact someone else was willing to still pay money for it is the most pathetic part of this story lmao
>>516321035Holy shit I was wondering how he had so much fucking money to burn. He's a grifter retard who had it fall into his lap. Holy shit my sides. Imagine being out grifted that hard.
>>516316105Srsly, at least the guy made about $37k more than I would have expected.
>>516324193Its called preposterous and high on your own farts unable to understand that the monkey ain't writing a novel in the mid 19th century but slop news no human reads that compete with ai slop that is more pregnant, more informative and costs less time to get to the info for a human
>>516324193It's called bloating the word count. The fact that you can't see it, tells us that you were even too stupid to do this in school.
>>516316105They'll get NFTs to catch someday, they just tried pushing it way too early and without some sort of autistic following already baked in like counter-strike weapon skins have.
>>516325305This is true but anon don't want to hear it. I'm not some "NFT guy" either. This is just obvious.
>>516316105>Digital assets Crypto-fags, this is your destiny.
>>516325305The entire idea behind nfts is "real world asset (((tokenization)))"The attempt to normalize having liens and other legal documents be stored on distributed data management systems, that all suck because physics as the oracle solutions as well to make distributed data management systems not the biggest shit ever dreamed up failed and are either walled gardens as far away from p2p as it come or easier to hack then an admin 123 combo
>>516316105 An we start a movement to repump NFTs just to make this guy seethe, buy back in (we keep tabs on him) and dump again?
>>516316105It really is easy to scam people, easier if you have social sway.
>>516325771>movementhey boomerX. "mass" (((movements))) are dependent on shared reality and olipolistic information distribution as production. Both things die with the analog generation
>>516324470Easy come, easy go.
>>516316105it was a bunch of envious retards so butthurt that they missed out on early BTC that they psyopped themselves into paying a fortune for limited edition jpg receiptsif he could have swallowed his pride, that 400k would have bought 10 BTC at the time, or 20 a year later, currently worth 2 million US shekels
>>516326297This is where he'd be if he bought BTC on the same day as that $425,513 NFT so yep, about $2,069,624. But shit man, I'm the kind of person where if I had $425,513 I'd just put it into some boomer index fund. It's not 5xing, but it beats the shit out of losing 92% of it on internet Monopoly money.
>>516326297Bitcoin is no different. Can't blame him.
>>516326297>buy my baglol. The supposed "currency" reform required at the very least a trust level among 15 - 30 year olds (the active generation for the next half century) at 60%, not as now 20%it failed. Nash was an idiot
>>516321035>Ryder Ripps is the Jew that designed the Soilent DrinkHe's a scam artist?>he's best friends with Sam Hyde.So he most definitely is a scam artist.
Tweet in OP is complete fakery. Some of you need to learn Freemasonic symbolism desperately. This board is normie central, holy shit. (NFTs are fucking gay obviously)
>>516327553free masons lost.Everybody with knowledge knew what was planned after 2008. and everybody that saw the fuck ups post 2019 knew, this shit is dead. plan failed. no currency reform possible
>>516327394People are more than happy to use crypto. It's just that nobody wants to pay their taxes in crypto. If I told you you owed (x) amount of taxes and that you had to find a way to pay those taxes in bitcoin most people would be pissed.
>>516316105should've invested in funkos
>>516327742>in my head16 years, and no. even among crapto scammers "stable coins" (second degree US bond derivatives) are still the chosen medium of exchange. Nobody is going to work for crapto - hell its even hard to say if anybody is going to work at all, to tackle and correct the fuck ups of BoomerX
>>516324800>bought for 450k sold for 37kYea anon, he broke even for sure
>>516324193I would really appreciate an actual explanation of scenes in books with flowery prose, actual description, an "explain like I'm sperg" not this flowery bollocks
>>516327020>Bitcoin is no different. Yes it is, you can't directly blacklist BTC wallets. Being able to self-custody a store of wealth that cannot be remotely blacklisted is insanely powerful. It's the easiest wealth to hide and also the most socially mobile.
>>516322259>Twitter thread>this isn't real. Down voted.>something insane really happens on video>OH MY SCIENCE DID YOU SEE THAT FRAME OF THE VIDEO? NO BULLET BEHAVES LIKE THAT, HE MUST HAVE BEEN SHOT FROM BEING WITH A 22 HIDDEN IN A NEWS CAMERA BY MOSSAD
>>516327009Or he could have just put it in SPY like any other sane person. Who gives retards so much money? I'm busting my ass throwing 300 dollars into savings and retirement a month
>>516328146>wealth> a third degree US bond derivativeyou freaks got so fucked in the head its hilarious. Non of you crapto bra scammers ever build. all you did was grift. You faggots are part of why it failed - crapto is ironically less trusted than congress
>>516327857Oh im not saying they need to work for crypto. Im saying what would happen if people found out rhwy had to pay their taxes in crypto. If they found out thwy had ro pay thwir taxes in it I imagine they would be begging to pay it in "crapto" Instead of some stablecoin.Again I'm not talking about paying for something, buying something, or working for some amount of crypto. Im talking about a government official coming to your house and saying if you don't provide them with a set amount of bitcoin at the end of the month they are going to throw you in jail.
>>516328146>a store of wealthMay I see it?
>>516328255You haven't discounted anything that I'd said there you hysterical midwit. You can self-custody BTC on wallets that cannot be blacklisted remotely. Where is the lie? Show me. Go on.
>>516328326>be afraid>buy my baglol. That is nothing the 75% care about. you are a under single digit percentage minority that hijacked a masonic idea from 2008 and fucked it up for them and yourself. Thanks for being idiots and unable to memeI dropped you for good, crapto fags. Your scam is less trusted than congress.
>>516328459>>516328495
>>516321775Based take
>>516328541Nope. That's a bunch of inchoate rambling around a very clear question that was posed to you. Answer the question:>You can self-custody BTC on wallets that cannot be blacklisted remotely. Where is the lie? Show me. Go on.
>>516328232>Who gives retards so much money?The parasocial paypig phenomenon is sadly extremely common. There are tons of dudes who lose thousands on crypto gambling, tell their chat to give them more, and they just do it because they'll feel like they're part of something when their boy wins.
>>516328729the 75% dont care. you are a sub single digit minority. the prehistoric distributed datamangement systems crapto are, are less trusted than congress. Your narratives are not penetrating into other information bubblers. They are actively shut out. you cant grow
>>516316105What the fuck is the ape handshake
>>516324154Even in their demise, they are performative fags. People like this get scammed because they believe their life to be some fairy tale where it will only ever get better
>>516328729let him wallow in povertysome people can't be helped
>>516328987I played the game. bought my stack in 2012, sold it in 2022. Never played V of Vs and wont start
>>516321161What's stopping 4chan from creating their own AI? I know there's a handful of /g/ turbo autists here
>>516328861>the 75% dont care. You contend that they won't care, this is a forecast. Whereas what I've said so far has been plain, simple fact: BTC can self-custody, cannot be remotely blacklisted.
>>516328495>that hijacked a masonic idea from 2008 and fucked it up for them and yourself.>>516329062>I played the game. bought my stack in 2012, sold it in 2022. Pick a lane you mentally ill retard. Are you our so-called moral better or the pro gamer who outplayed us.
>>516329303When the trust level for those that need crapto to succeed as a currency reform is between 15% and 38% among the active population of the next half century, you wont get it through.There is no political capital for such a big shift, and you are generally hated and considered scammers.
>>516329448>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you cant bet on a plan that might work>but switch camp when the indicators tell you are on the losing sidelol baggie
>>516321091Wrong. It's garbage.
>>516329527>I profited off all of this but I also want to hold onto the purity virtue of one who condemns itYou might be the most pretentious "crapto" seether I've ever encountered. Anon never cease to fascinate me.
>>516329768>buy my bag>muah [insert narrative that should get lolberts to support a top down as "bottom up" faked currency reform through]Hodllllll, retard. 1 M by eoy or John eats his dick on live stream. fucking retards
>>516327883Yeah, but what fuckwit in 2025 bought his secondhand NFT for $37k?>I'd suspect its bullshit and he didn't even get a half-eaten sammich for his monkey.jpeg
The idea behind cryptographically secured digital ownership has always been good, but the idea cryptographically secured ownership of a fucking picture has always been bad. NFTs will likely come back for handling shit like Second Life property or some successor, digital ticket sales, premium account handling, etc. It's a useful way to offload security from these single point of failure websites. It has never been a useful way to "claim ownership" over a retarded avatar picture and anyone that ever bought that shit was terminally hyped
>>516329879even fucking lucif abandoned it. The biggest cheerleader since 2010
>>516329879>little piggie wanted to wallow in the mudpit and now he frantically insists that he's spotless. Your posts read like conflicted conscience. Very weird energy. Did you give up those crypto gains? No? Then you're complicit in this thing that you're saying is horrible.
>>516321775Exactly. Apes was fraud and it is what it says it is. Bored apes club who are sitting around trying to fleece people. >>516328935You need to pay 400k to learn it.
>>516316180To be fair blockchain made me rich af
>>516330047>very weird energyso you are not just a crapto bra but also psychic. I thought until 2022 that it might be possible, the marriage of heaven and hell, but the trust numbers said no; and all that matters in agrarian societies is trust. A "trustless" data management system that is not trusted, thats the reddest flag that can exists
>>516330210Another guilt-stricken purity cope from the rich crypto guy. Gross.
>>516316627Tokenizes literally all of nature and existence is a bridge too far even for the right wing. That's end-game capitalism and it's only possible via corporate capture of government. Globohomo is the hydra that must die. The faggot bankers and craven rich people ruling by their own consensus need to be publicly executed after a swift trial. These limp wristed faggots fear the strong man leader for a reason.
>>516330296what do you call rich according to you poor fag sucker?and thanks for letting everyone itt see your communist ideal. You give a flying fuck about crapto, what you want is somebody to give you more fiat then you paid.
>childless people can waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on complete scams while i worry every single fucking day that my kids will eventually resent me for not making enough money
>>516330442>I ramble disjointedly to anon about masons and blake poems and agrarian society and just about any random pretentious bullshit that will salve my wounded conscience enough to allow me to keep all those lovely crypto gains while looking down at itI wish you luck on this inner fight with yourself. Just don't bore anon with it, please.
This dude was accusing bored apes of being a nazi dogwhistle a couple years ago and had to pay millions for copying them
>>516330691what inner fight poor fag. Are you projecting? I made decision and I am more than happy with it. Never playing V of Vs
>>516330493Its not childless people, its nepo babies. In case you didn't notice civilization is a complete joke. Breeders like you fell into the child trap and since you weren't born rich you must wage forever to care for them. And since you started from zero you will end with zero.
>>516330814>what inner fight poor fag.I live on crypto gains and don't have to wagie. I'm not rich, but not poor. I just think it's funny how full of shit you are. The self-image that you cling to is bizarre. Like you'll fall apart at the seams if you admit that you're a complex character where crypto is concerned.
>>516331038>I live on crapto gains>I am not rich but not poorthat means you are poor and are larping as rich. You might want to check the bridges in Beijing and where you can spend the winter
>>516316105there's a youtube video by some redditor that reveals all the racist easter eggs in this stuff
>>516331169In just a few posts you go from blake to your average try hard crypto retard on biz. You don't know who the fuck you are lmao. You change from post to post.
>>516316105who the fuck is stupid enough to buy it back for 37k?
>>516331305>admits he is part of an off side shill marketing crewheavy bags?
>>516331457>keeping the gains and still claiming virtueWhat would Blake say?
>>516331799What do I care. If the 2020 hail marry bail outs showed one thing than that the BoomerX plan failed. The 2011 "top" of 32 dollar will remain as silent witness of the end of the great work
>>516321091Are you mistaking it with rogue one?
When I first heard about this I thought you own the rights to that image or video and if someone in the media used it you would be paid royalties like you own the rights to one slam dunk Michael Jordan made in a game once and if ESPN plays it they send you a royalty check. That sounded actually interesting but not it was nothing like that it was much gayer than that
>>516331970>what do I careYou cared enough to cite his work when decrying anon, and now you don't care? Odd.. Is this another thing that we have a conflict of conscience about now? Not good!
>>516316105current tech could be amazing for something like individual registered ballots but instead people wanted to make shitcoins that only existed to sell to someone hoping to sell it to someone else for a higher price
>>516332224>noooooooooooooooooo you cant change your position>you have to be principled and lose with graceYou sound like some faggot that got caught with his pants down and slowly puts one and one together. I dedicated 10 years of my life to this, which isnt much, but also nothing. It paid of for me, despite having been disgusted about it from 2017 on and forced myself until the very last moment there was hope it could succeed to stay.In hindsight, I should have switched from crapto to commodities trading in 2015
>>516332393Every time someone explained to me their plan with NFTs they couldn't answer the question "why". Like a year ago when the craze was already way dead one friend said he was getting into creating NFTs for breweries so you can own a beer from the brewery in the metaverse and when I asked him "why the fuck would anyone buy this" he had no answer and surprise it never panned out
>>516332712https://crookedtimber.org/2012/05/30/in-soviet-union-optimization-problem-solves-you/Its about information and the believe that perfect information leads to perfect capital utilization. which is religious retardation. The future is unpredicatbale no matter the information.
>>516332606>>noooooooooooooooooo you cant change your position>>you have to be principled and lose with graceI never said any of this, I was even charitable in my describing you as "a complex character where crypto is concerned". I don't think you should give those gains up, they're yours, my issue is with your obstinate refused to stop insisting upon your own virtue. Makes you sound like a bullshit artist. Your discernment toward crypto changed over time, you adapted; bailed - and did well. That's fine. But you're still a former crypto guy. Just is what it is. You don't need to do all this ranting to randoms about Blake and shit from some imagined moral high tower. It's obnoxious and makes you sound like a dishonest sperg.
>>516316105Jej
>>516333263>Makes you sound like a bullshit artist.says the fag repeating fake sales lines from fucking 2013 tp portrait a top down operation as a bottom up one - and expects to make a sale because "uah self costody". Only lolberts care about that, the general public in an agrarian civilizations (nothing else are human societies for the past 25K years) is all about trust; and playing 20th century analog information manipulation games in 2020/21 fucked that up for good with digital gens.>you are a former crapto guy>therefore shut up and let us scam with impunity You project morals into my rhetoric? Thats a you problem. All I do is share information about my perception based on 10 years being in that grift scam pyramid scheme ponzi Nash-failure masonic BoomerX shit show
>>516333717I know a fake cunt based on how they see and talk about themselves when anon. Fake cunts always sing the song of themselves. You think you're slick, but you're not. Even normies can clock you.
>>516332187You just own the copywrite image like a digital pokemon card. During the pandemic all this crazy online stuff was happening and people were going mad for all this online crap in the "metaverse".
>>516333881you are heavily projecting off site marketing shill holding heavy bags. Your issue is, when the original fags like lucif and new fags like me have abandoned ship, how the fuck should you get fresh capital into your scams from a demographic that is even smaller than the Xillenial and GenX one?The answer is you don't. Crapto is in its V of V, together with the post 1974 currency system that it was supposed to replace.Your kind, despite being in it, missed the paradigmatic shift from Guttenberg to html
>>516334278>you are heavily projectingHaha, no I'm not. I haven't deigned to lecture anyone from any higher place of virtue. You're so cooked. Word salad at me a bit more. That'll do it. Just remember to say that you don't care if I ask any follow up question to anything that you cite.
>>516334666An llm would have no issue to extract the "meaning" from all my posts - thats again a you problem.>I'm not a shill trying to sell bagsokay - go back to your shitcord or tg and communicate with the chatbots
>>516334939>An llm would have no issue to extract the "meaning" from all my posts - thats again a you problem.I don't think you're stupid. Far from it, actually. You're just a fake cunt. You choose to view yourself in overly pious ways, and then get pissy if anon won't humour you.
>>516335411The lines are very clear. You want to sell bags with no value beside being third to forth degree US treasury derivative to /pol/; I piss on your parade and present a line of thought why to stay the fuck away from a data management system that failed to solve its technical issues as failed to patchwork around the technical issues in nearly 2 decades, is less trusted than congress by the general public and was conceptualized by analog generations operating under the impression of oligopolistic information production and distribution that changed into an anarchic, trying to ensure continuation of power in the wake of the 2008/9 realization about the expiration date of the previous pyramid scheme, regarding growth.I dont want to convince you, you are a true believer - I'm selling the since 5 year deterministic outcome, structural deflation; which is going to hurt everyone over 50 and make them die in poverty, but is a chance for anybody younger.Its deflate or die
>>516336339>I piss on your parade and present a line of thought why -You might be right, I'm no "true believer". You should at least be able to consneed that this is a forecast. Could be correct - this is informed speculation.My gripe with you was your two-faced piety larping. The rest of this post is a separate thing, and who knows maybe I'm the dumb cunt and you're right. Doesn't make those lecturing rants any less obnoxious though.
