@Gargron The very mention of crypto in this context sets my bullshit alarms clanging so loud I can't hear myself think. When all you have is a blockchain, everything looks like a nail.   @gargron People who missed the boat on Bitcoin are desperate to generate a new gold rush they can get in on at the ground floor. @Gargron good lord. I will also happily give people my bank details to send me money. I will also accept envelopes full of cash. This whole thing is such a crock of shit.  @Gargron Especially dumb given just how many middlemen there actually are if you try to create an NFT and get some real money out.  @Gargron  @Gargron Yeahno, it's just a crypto equivalent of fine art marketplace, where few speculants will get rich and small artists will only lose money trying to get into it (with bonus art theft, which is already happening) @Gargron I lost my shorts on the first big Bitcoin bubble, and yeah, it's all hype and no practical application other than cheap long distance money transfers. For supporting artists, use Librepay. For getting your music out there without unreasonable middlemen, Bandcamp. I can't say what the equivalent is for visual artists though |
@Gargron NFT and other tech filth should be dismantled. Techies should go on a date with Madame Guillotine.
