DocumentingBTC reports on a startling new study indicating that over 63 trillion gigawatts of elephants are being harvested anually as a result of bitcoin. The study corrected for factors such as yellow, and the tootsie roll center of a Tootsie Pop, providing the first clear evidence of a connection between cryptocurrency and the number 7.

lol if bitcoin ever became the standard currency, the best case scenario is that all 21 million bitcoins that can ever exist will eventually end up in the pockets of energy producers

Purchase of an NFT is recorded on etherium blockchain as a smart contract transaction. If you have the keys to the wallet, you can 'transfer ownership' of the NFT to a different wallet.

that's kinda the whole point of an NFT, it's a token that the blorkchain says belongs to a particular wallet. the token contains a hash of the JSON file or whatever, the JSON file points to a url of a jpeg or whatever.

Right but you can still get the JSON file anyway right? Like you'd need to be able to to verify the chain.

I guess he lost the ability to resell it (lol)

he posted a list of all the stuff he lost, so not only can you confirm your assumption about random generation (at least one was a real thing created by a human fwiw), you can enjoy all of the art for free with no regard to who owns it

the way he specifically calls out capital gains tax makes me wonder if he's doing a self-exit-scam and using this loud and humiliating mea culpa to protect himself

I really have to keep reminding myself that whenever these dinguses say "$" they mean tethers, because otherwise they have way too much money for their own good

also lol at "this could have been one of three things" followed by "3. something else"

yeah like any other coin it's a giant public ledger so anyone can see it's in that wallet, what it points to etc. presumably what he meant was they transferred it out of his wallet
