So what was the psyop behind NFTs? I refuse to believe it was just a fad that organically came and went.
>>539143597The psyop is unregistered securities are easy to abuse in all the ways registered ones are not. Insider trading, rugpulls, transactions that cannot be canceled or rolled back in any way, all based on something that can be churned out and offloaded easily.
>>539144378I wonder how much money was taken out of the US economy over the history of crypto/NFT.
>>539145051Oh right, also programed with almost no real security. Sure, man-in-the-middle attacks are pretty hard to pull off, but hackers and scammers don't do those in real life. They trick you into clicking on something you shouldn't have. And with no verification whatsoever on delivery of the automatically executed programs that are NFTs, the thing you shouldn't have clicked on can be sent directly into your wallet. The only way to get rid of it is to click on and execute it. "Fake" NFTs (actually real, just instead of a URL to an image it's malware) are just as easy to mint and send off as real ones.

>>539143597>>539144378>>539145254NFTs took off because everybody just realized they had missed out on buying bitcoin early on. Everybody wanted to be on board the next bitcoin.
>>539144378>>539145051It's worse. Only really 10 real humans even post here anymore cocurrently. Only the generals go over 300 replies now with active user engagement. You cannot unsee this. But generals are glorified circlejerk chat rooms. They recognize each other by tripfagging and manners. /pol/ is just as low traffic as any other altchans now. Other "users" you see, many are just bots repeating same lines or if they are humans they're just jannie's Discord / Telegram / SimpleX circlejerk members - they lurk here professionally & report & bans you if you post something they don't like. You gotta start looking for some alternatives now like onion / tor / dread / i2p / usenet / irc / nostr / federated mastodon before it's too late. Next year, you will start to regret not listening to me. Not telling you to leave here or giving up. It could just be like emergency communication network like Zeronet / freenet. But why next year? and why are they pushing chat control now? The war will just keep escalating tit-for-tatt style. They're making calculated moves arranged months ahead. For now, due to the nature of modern computer architecture, age verification cannot prevent anonymous profiles from bypassing it. You need to look for other no signup required, no phone number or email required platfroms for starters. Maybe this anon had the right ideas check it out. Thank you for your attention to this matter anons. https://privatebin.net/?d7197fad850c64d4#8dGbrYMXCu2YAqUNha4otvxiV55Y8t8EwA5zAFjQ57Eb
>>539143597There are always going to be con artists predatoring on the stupid people out there.In the case of NFTs, a lot of people made shitloads of money off "crypto". Not everyone made enough to live on in luxury for the rest of their lives. So the con artists started shilling their "projects" like new shitcoins that would do magic things and totally replace Bitcoin any day now.The stupid people jumped on these grenades because they thought they would 100X their money. As we saw in 2018, they lost their asses.Then all the stupid people who hadn't bought into "crypto" early, or who had lost their asses on shitcoins, got shilled a new idea by the con artists: NFTs. You could take permanent ownership of digital assets, traceable on a blockchain! If you bought these, you were going to be richrichrich! So all the dumbfucks threw their money at these things even though anyone could copy their shitty JPEGs of badly-drawn cartoon monkeys, just because they could prove they were the true owners of the JPEGs as shown by the blockchain!Needless to say, this ended predictably with all the shitty monkey pictures becoming worthless, because who gives a shit about owning a JPEG of a monkey?And of course /biz/ was heavily involved in all of this -- the moderators were literally getting paid premined shitcoins by the shills the moderators would then allow to pump the shitcoins on /biz/. Shills who didn't bribe the jannies got banned and their posts were deleted. Same thing with NFTs, throw a few monkey pix at the jannies and they'd let you shill your monkey pix NFTs; try to shill without bribes and your posts would be deleted and you'd get banned.Really, all anyone had to do was buy Bitcoin and HODL. But all the greedy fucks and all the stupid fucks who "missed out" on the gains from 2012-2021 were so obsessed with "catching up" by buying shitcoins and NFTs that they got destroyed by pajeet scammers.
It was basically a ponzi scheme
>>539143597>organicallyWhat could possibly make you think there was anything organic about it lol.
>>539143597Psyop? You give the NFT scam too much credit. It was just a simple scam on a large scale. With crypto FOMO at an all time high, a few smart scammers convinced people to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, sometimes millions of dollars, on JPGs. Then they cashed out and let the market dump. Simple as.
