I usedto think Gary V was a pretty smart dude, back when I used to watch him during his early wine library tv days, I bought into his hustle mentality and up to some point he was the catalyst to push myself to become a professional and study a career. After years of watching his videos and seeing him grow in his advertising company he started pushing sneaker buy and resale (basically scalping) and buying and selling Pokémon cards and was confused but figured “to each their own I guess”, shortly after he started pushing crypto and then NFTs and at that point I lost all respect for this dude because he’s either an idiot and has been lucky all this time, or he’s fucking scamming his followers in some sort of pump and dump scheme and stopped following him everywhere.
Quoting a podcast: “So you’re saying I own this jpeg but anyone else can still download it and do anything they want with it? Bruh, NFTs are just jpeg NTR”
NTR? No Touching, Ronnie? Normally Trained Raccoon? Nerdy Technology Revealed?
Why do NFT bros even care that you download an NFT if the token is still theirs on the blockchain. Isn’t that the whole point of the NFT?
Bc they don’t actually understand what NFTs are. They actually just own some JSON that contains a key (owned by them) and a link to some server that hosts that image which presumably will always host that image.
I can just see Oprah going, “and now you own it! And now you own it! And now you own it!”
God, and to imagine that people were serious about that shit. I mean, the people not using it for money laundering and scams
Nfts are not simply images on the blockchain. The technology is not a scam even if scammers use one aspect of it to sell pixels for ridiculous sums of money
But please, don’t let me stand in the way of a misinformed circlejerk
