That's all that needs to be said, I think. This thread can be closed now.
Here's how one person this week beat capitalism and will never have to work again while you have a job like an idiot!
Stories like this are as useful as me getting an email from a nigerian prince that needs my help to unlock his money.
Now that we own his selfies we can produce a tv show or movie about his life story possibly animated potentially for a streaming service
This is definitely one of those bullshit things that makes people want to join in. Don't fall for it.
If I didn't know better I'd say NFTs were thrown out as a good way to stem the increasing dissatisfaction with capitalism by bringing back the 'gold rush'.
Yup. If you get in quick you'll be at the top of the pyramid for sure!!
Someone on here put this as an example of nfts being good for artists. It's so silly to think this can ever be the norm
Yup. But hey, let's keep these scam-baiting, fluff articles on Era. We should be a community that provides a platform for all scams.
Is it just me, but I still do not understand NFTs? Like you are buying pictures of memes and stuff that can easily be recreated, but pay a ton of money for it?
Like I understand paintings, but buying an original .gif or something doesn't make any sense.
Like are people buying them and licensing them or something else as to why anyone would pay thousands of dollars for these? I feel like I am missing a key aspect.

So many shoots about to be worked into marks because of this, or however those words go in order.
You're not even buying the picture. You're just buying a receipt that has a link to the picture (or whatever it points to, can be anything). The picture itself could be changed, the link remains the same.
And no it doesn't make any sense.
It cost money to mint NFT and it cost money to sell them.
Which is why you see so many NFT fans being so zealous in endlessly defending this nonsense at all costs - almost all of them are in the red and sunk cost fallacy is a real and strong thing.
I also would like to know if this is verified by an actual news agency and not a website that focuses entirely on crypto and the "metaverse".
Rich people haven't figured out how to make money without working out of buying art on deviantArt, so we had to improve on that.
It also wasn't really burning the amazon rainforest, and what's the point of buying art if it's not destroying the planet in the process?
Yes it is, he's all over the news in here locally. Also the third tweet in the OP is him quoting Indonesian tax authority asking him to register his new riches hah.
A lot of Indonesians started spamming open sea with selfies and random photos I heard lol.
Wow you don't have to put any effort and be a millionair!
Those YT,Twitch streamers and unfluencers are doing it wrong! (Also us for sitting on our asses not doing this!!)

And what did he do with the profit? He gave it all to sex workers, orphans and little old ladies who need help crossing the street.
