i think it's that when most people hear about this hot new thing that lets you buy and sell art THROUGH THE BLOCKCHAIN they kind of assume that the art is on the blockchain not a url

i know you're all going to laugh at me for trading btc, but i was using blockchain.com and they raised the minimum fiat withdrawal limit to 2500$. of course this isn't specified anywhere in their ToS other than vague references to limits being updated regularly.

yet, they're happy to let you deposit 200$ using your credit card. sent them a support request 2 weeks ago and they just sent me a copy-pasted answer that has nothing to do with what i wanted.

avoid at all costs. took my btc out of there

well I found one that allowed me to take out my initial "investment" (a better word would be a bet) to my bank account and i'll just let the rest of my btc stay dormant for a couple of years, like the crypto gods intended

So have the NFT “counterfeits” started yet (e.g. someone else pointing to the same URL of @jack’s first tweet or whatever) or people just selling poo poo they don’t “own”? Not that if the actual JPEG or whatever was on the blockchain it wouldn’t be just as to right-click->save-as->Make my own NFT to sell

this is exactly what is happening to all the people getting sued for lying about the election, so... yes, the minute one of these people gets sued for misrepresenting something about NFTs they will absolutely adopt the "haha nobody but idiots actually believes that" defense

with right wing chest-thumping, the blatant lying is part of the whole show. the fact that you're lying and you and everybody else knows it and yet you only double-down when confronted, is what makes you strong.

with NFTs, I'm pretty convinced it's a lot more driven by naive enthusiasts. but maybe I'm wrong.

i think it's mainly people going "wait, i can sell a .jpeg for really money?!? sign me up" and most of them aren't as smart as chuck tingle and don't immediately realise that the whole thing is garbage
