The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

Heads up, we have a genuine cryptopeddler (don't say it's about crypto, because the goalposts keep moving even as the peddler argues for NFTs and related grifts) in this thread, and the entire carnival barker routine is now in play, including "beat capitalism's casino by doing a newer shinier capitalism casino" and messianic "this will change the world and revolutionize everything" speeches.

I genuinely hate how dense you are. Capitalism deserves to rot for breeding people like you. Oh well, enjoy your fair markets.

I'm not even peddling NFTs (as pictures) like you keep pushing. It's a type of tech (similar to crypto sure), that would provide verification of digital assets. You do not have that in your current free market in the states or in any capitalistic society.

Things absolutely won't change if we keep having dumb fucks like you take the opinions of billionaires over working people.

Reddit was fucking spammed with NFT "content" in order to slander it. Big, very rich, motherfuckers don't want you to be pro-tokenized-securities and if they have to make NFTs a "grift" to do it then they obviously will.

Because I'm calling out the cynical grift you're pulling.

You're claiming that the answer to capitalism is more capitalism, this time from a shiny newer casino that is already majority owned and operated and pushed by ruling class capitalists and that will somehow topple capitalism and bring about an unspecified utopia that you've been vague about so far but have used techbro language to try to dazzle people with your bullshit.

“ You're claiming that the answer to capitalism is more capitalism” I read this in the Christopher walken more cow bell tone and I just thought I should share. I got a fever and the only prescription is more capitalism
