 @davidrevoy in less memeing matters: it’s really dispiriting that there are still people who fully believe in that nonsense. i often watch dave ‘japaneseprintmaking’ bull on twitch. he runs a shop making and selling japanese woodblock prints, and streams the process. transfering, carving, checking proof prints, and so on. every so often, you see someone in chat raving how cool it would be if these were NFTs, the ultimate marriage of tradition and the future. 4 comments
@davidrevoy yeah, and i guess it doesn’t help that we have a lot of ‘new hot’ things with barely any depth to the reporting, that get burned out and replaced real quick. it works for hype as well as for scandal.  @gekitsu @davidrevoy there's a few creators I know of where I'm actually kind of okay with them hawking NFTs… …because they're based in Russia and they are using cryptocurrency the way it was meant to be used, to evade international sanctions and regulations @nev @davidrevoy yes, that’s a great point! naomi wu selling a body scan NFT would also fall under thaht umbrella. and, naomi being naomi, she had some choice words when folks tried to lump her NFT sale together with affluent randos burning money and resources for some pumped up dream of ‘to the moon’ |

@gekitsu True. (and sad)
I guess for a big audience the digital world became so complex to understand that they can be manipulated by gurus about it. Nfts, Ai, are cult; it works as long as there is investor/believers, imo.
It feels similar in a way to the new age and esoterism market. With a lot of Bs, gurus, and money money money to buy hope, or to exploit ignorance.😔
