Wow what a cheap way to get a avatar that tells everyone you are a nice target for scams.
Who else is still laughing at that one Reddit staff member calling people “right click abusers” or something like that for suggesting that they could just download the NFT pictures and set them as their profile without paying.
I still don’t get NFTs. Not the technical part, but the why-the-hell-would-anyone-want-this part. Like, I can’t even understand the logic behind someone thinking someone else would want something like this. It seems like it should be a simple concept but my brain just hurts.
A crypto coin is only worth as much as the hype surrounding it, so the people holding a lot of crypto needed something beyond “you can use this to buy drugs on the internet” to generate hype.
It turns out that more than a few people investing in tech don’t really understand what they invest in, but are highly susceptible to FOMO so any tech company wanting a quick cash injection put together a blockchain/nft/play-to-earn/web3 pitch.
