There’s a half decent Beanie Baby documentary on HBOMAX.

Not the most compelling poo poo but it really takes you back and you get to see a few well to do suburban housewives admit they were acting insane.

Suburban housewives in particular make me wonder if this NFT poo poo has taken off specifically because of pandemic boredom among the IT classes. There's that mix of having just enough free time, security and lack of real challenges or hobbies that causes a certain breed of shithouse-rat crazy.

Nah, American pewdiepie had the anti-semitic stunt and wore an Iron Cross in a video. Those are just the ones I know of and I've never seen any of his videos. If he lived in Germany, he'd probably have been arrested.

I was filming at a toy auction house for several months last year and there has been a huge jump in the market for all sorts of nerdish collectibles due to the pandemic - Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Star Wars etc

People were bored and decided to take up collecting as a hobby, much to the delight of people who had been in the game for a while who saw their sheds full of boxed, mint toys shoot up in value.

Judging fom a search on #apefollowape on twitter, It looks like it does mean that.

Two other Twitcoiners are claiming they sold their private jet and a kidney, respectively, to buy another ape. It gets harder and harder to know what's idiotic reality and what's satire.

Reading about squid coin. The crypto released after squidgame wrapped up season 1, it was a scam (!) where in order to transfer squidcoin you had to have a secondary currency, "marbles" and basically I think the way it worked is they just never minted any marbles, making it possible to do USD -> squid but never squid -> USD.

Funny enough gizmodo had a pretty good article out before the rug pull pointing out that it was a scam, but of course every other tech site reported it uncritically. After the rugpull the community of hodlers decided to rebuild from the ashes:

https://squidgameholders.org/

quote:

As many of you know, the Squid Game cryptocurrency was founded by scammers. They took advantage of their community, and inevitably committed a rug pull and ran off with millions. Many people were devastated. Despite this devastation, many people found a home in this previously broken community. This was in part with the intervention of BINANCE themselves. The developers addresses were blacklisted and Binance announced a pending investigation into the developers. Squid Game has now emerged as a decentralized cryptocurrency, with full community autonomy. The previously extinguished flame has been re-ignited as we grow each and everyday and now progress in developing a trustworthy currency with extraordinary potential.

One of my favorite details is that if you scroll all the way down there is a link to donate to the site using binance coin, because even the people making the squidgameholders.org website aren't dumb enough to accept squidcoin.

edit lol also they have an NFT marketplace where the NFTs aren't on the $squid chain AND you can't buy them using $squid. They're on the BSC chain and require binance coins to buy.

it's just a mutation of the proverb "money follows money", which makes no sense because you can't invest an ape into an index fund and grow it alongside the stock market
