Well first you have to sell it to your alt accounts a couple times to drive up it's perceived value. Theeeeen you wait for the sucker who will pay $20k for it.
100% accurate. truly embarrassing, but also unsurprising given past crypto threads. the biggest problem is that since there is a financial incentive to get other people in the marketplace (a pyramid shaped incentive) it's impossible to know who is arguing in good faith and who is "spreading the good word", trying to increase their own wealth by converting others.
What does this wall of text have to do with NFTs, much less the topic of the thread? I could use any number of cryptos to pay sex workers without touching anything NFT-related.
And if you real smart you sell it for yourself for $30k first so you can have a 10k tax write off for your losses.

It's wild that this thread was made, a literal scammer came into it and made the thread about them (which, weird move) and then complained that the thread they had now made about them was negative towards their scam and people got banned for calling them out.
They're mentioning it because they run a site that sells porn NFTs.
I feel like IRS would definitely be coming for that ass if you claim your own wallet transfer as a sale lol.
If the IRS ever decide to get serious about those shenanigans I'm sure they will have a very easy time to find and prove fraud.
There are ways to hide your tracks, to a degree at least, but from what I've seen many people in the NFT space aren't even taking the most basic steps to try to do that.
saying "i'm trying to run a crypto/nft business that isn't as terrible as all the others" is like saying "i'm trying to run a candy store that doesn't sell candy". it's never going to work. the shit is inherently bad, inherently broken. just say you're in it to make your money and then cash out. at least be honest.

Yeah this thread got derailed massively... But I don't want to ask for a lock because despite that these are conversations we need to have here, and policies that need to be called out amongst the staff.
So the current tech companies have problems of shitty customer support and content moderation. So crypto enthusiasts push their tech as a new era of empowering users with digital ownership and decentralization, but yet here we are back dealing with the same problems.
But hey, they get to call themselves a web3 company so that's different.

Honestly I wasn't trying to drag this out to be about me, but I can't help but defend myself when getting dogpiled - I came into this thread just responding to the title and have basically been yelled at every possible way, to me it just feels like this forum would just prefer if I just burnt the company I acquired to the ground and kill myself rather than try to do anything meaningful with it. Honestly I'm just super fucking depressed because it feels like nothing I can do can get people to stop quoting me and calling me names - I feel personally pretty harassed just for working the job I have and it's literally never ending and fatiguing to keep answering every existentially angered person at me for things that I'm not in control of or interacting with really
I'm probably just going to continually post less and less in this community even though I've been in it since like 2004, you guys literally saved me from a suicide attempt once back in like 2011 but I feel like a thread like this just pushes me back to feeling shitty and depressed rather than actually helping me like this community used to do - I don't know where the sense of empathy went from this community
Like I'm personally nonbinary, bisexual, a rape survivor etc and don't have anything to do with whatever stereotypes there are for people into crypto communities. I'm not a crypto bro, I'm not a scam artist, I'm literally running an inclusive community for sex workers that gives away about 80-90% of its money from NFTs back to the community. I really don't like being told I'm evil, a scumbag, a scam artist repeatedly, I don't think I am that - but I feel awful that people truly see me this way and am backing out of this thread because I'm gonna end up suicidal if I keep answering you guys.

You keep trying to make this about you when it's about NFTs and all the problems that come with them. There's no protection in place for the artists who's livelihoods are being threatened here. You claimed you're involved in writing a code attached to nfts that will prevent this form of theft yet you go on and on about the business you're involved in and ask for some sort of sympathy. I don't know why you're inserting yourself into the topic at hand or why you're trying to defend the use of nfts at all when you claim you're struggling like this. Do you realize the industry you're in has thrived without attaching itself to this terrible idea. It's all about making money right? You don't need nfts to do that.

Good, I hope all the nftbros take this same stance. You guys are not welcomed in the gaming community or any other community.
I'll say this calm and rationally as possible, as to avoid a hostility ban:
You just said YOU acquired the company...would that not mean YOU can steer it into doing something else, and that seems a lot different than just "working the job you have"? The reasons NFTs are awful have been proven a million times over. NFTs are a scam and horrible for the environment. To see proof of that you need look no further than all the people buying these jpegs of ugly monkeys. The fact that you're nonbinary, bisexual, and a rape survivor has absolutely NOTHING to do with NFTs, and no one is taking any of that away from you by telling you why NFTs are terrible and a scam.
Both of these posts being deemed ban-worthy is embarrassing. Come on.
There would be no difference here. Pretty sure I recall Cerium threadmarking some pro-NFT posts in a thread from back in October.
