I am glad to see the thread is as skeptical about this stuff as I am. Twitter is a god drat hype fest of people trying to pump it by getting more suckers in it seems.

I have an old old friend who is very into crypto art and nfts and when I retweeted a couple anti-crypto mining stories I got the whole proof of work -> proof of stake thing which is supposed to solve all environmental issues with mining.. Then I looked it up and they had been planning to move for years (plus most other coins will still be rollin’ coal anyway) So I don’t tweet that stuff anymore cuz I don’t want to get in a big argument with a friend since elementary school

repiv posted:The other thing is that miners have no incentive to migrate over to the POS network, since they can't make any money from their racks of GPUs after that change, so they'll probably just refuse to update and cause a fork where Ethereum POS and POW both exist at the same time Yup for sure. What happens then, do the coins values split somehow? It just randomly becomes some other made up bullshit number? Or does nobody even know? lol what a goofy-rear end scheme. The stuff I'm seeing on twitter where people tokenize tweets to take "ownership" of them is pretty loving weird too. What does any of this digital ownership mean? It seems it is just crypto speculators selling NFTs to each other pumping up the prices and drawing in the rubes who want to get rich quick. I dunno it all seems like such a ridiculously obvious scam to me I don't understand how people fall into it so easily. e: it seems like an entertaining way to troll a true believer would be to tokenize all their tweets into your wallet. priznat fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Mar 17, 2021 |

I love it when crypto wankers say “but it uses 40% renewables!!” (A number clearly just pulled out their rear end) when even if true this could be used to offset actually useful power consumption items.

I listened to the Sway podcast where Kara Swisher interviewed Beeple and it was a bit more nuanced, he seemed to be fairly pro on the concept of NFTs and how digital ownership has just started scratching the surface of what it can be used for, but at the same time he's pretty aware his was an extremely unusual result. He seems mostly just interested in doing more weird artworks about lactating spongebob squarepants or something.

Isn't it known how many bitcoins are out there and by the valuation it's just over $1 trillion, where's the 100 come from? All the other coins combined can't make up the difference can they?

I had assumed the NFT on the blockchain would have a CRC or some other kind of hash, but no? just a link? that, uh, seems stupid.

The chiacoiners will just resell the drives after faking the SMART stuff to unsuspecting bargain hunters so they don’t have to worry about recycling anything!

Right now they're all useless people, too chickenshit to stand up for whatever they believe in with actual real-world actions like committing violent crimes or starting a rebellion. Those billionaires like Musk, Bezos, Zuck are better protected than most world leaders so the chances of some pissed off rando running up on them is pretty drat slim.

In Canada we have a member of parliament who has been caught twice on his own web camera, first time fully nude after changing post-workout and the other time he pissed in a coffee mug during a meeting because going to the actual bathroom would be too hard or something. People voted for this guy.
