My takeaway: NFTs have their uses, but their impact is miniscule, the needs they purport to fulfill are largely already met in other ways, and they primarily serve as a tool for scammers.
Great. Can we take them out back and shoot them now?

Oh for the good old days of convincing people you were the prophet of the star comet and needed your own harem of thin hippies before everyone drinking poisonous root beer floats.
Those scams were always self containing.
And at least they took a lot more effort than a bunch of fucking cartoon apes!
Yeah why did that end of being the default example? Is that a meme I don't get, or is it a racist thing? Like cartoon ape seems way too specific to be random, especially considering the types who go in on crypto and these conspiracy currencies.
Probably because of the "Apes together strong" meme from the GameStop/AME stock stuff. Absolutely massive "way too much Reddit" energy
I thought that's because one of the 'original' for lack of a better term NFTs was some stylisation of the proverbial Three Wise Monkeys. You know, Speak no Evil, See no Evil, Hear no Evil thing?
Or maybe, like those wealthy assholes in The Purge, they expect that when people turn violent, they can personally be safe inside fortified mansions.
That makes sense for the libertarians who have mansions. Less so for the ones who have truck nuts.
They're self-sufficient manly men who can take care of themselves in any eventuality.
Or that's what they imagine, anyway.
Yeah, surprisingly few people posing with ARs and talking about the next civil war imagine themselves to be cannon fodder, or even junior NCOs. They tend to expect to be heroic leaders of the resistance.
They are nothing more than idiotic mooks. But even calling them mooks would be an insult to actual mooks everywhere in real life or fiction.

They think they're John Connor when they're actually Man in Hallway #3.

Do the people who invest in these projects have no sense of pattern recognition?
