and they won't leave me alone either! amazing.
why does this person sound like a new atheist edge lord trying to sound grandiose?
Fictional time-travel murder
"First thing I did was go back in time and kill ... oh I forget his name, what was it"
"Who?"
"You know, the guy that everyone says they'll go back and kill if they get a time machine"
"Huh, I guess after it was invented, all those people got retroactively bumped off pretty quick, so it's not really a thing that we do anymore"
"ELON MUSK. That was it. Went back before the Martian slave trade and the Atrocity Sphere and—"
but the sales pitch for it, more broadly, outside of the narrow NFT exploitation world, is that it's ~decentralized computation~
but none of the core blockchain innovations is required for that. just multiparty consensus. that's all. unless you want money
its desperate people falling head first into an exploitative con that takes advantage of their vulnerable life situation with the promise of love and adoration and money
it's really no wonder that this is a segment of the population has gotten quite enthralled by this. i have know many a starving artist (sometimes literally) who has gotten into NFTs entirely because they're actually making money, and people are showering them with praise for their work
that's why this entire web3 smart contract NFT ICO bullshit hypetrain is so utterly revolting
it is pure money money money
that's also why it's so easily turning into a cult: it's able to offer the promise of community, praise, and, importantly, financial support, to folx who are historically typically rather poor: artists, musicians, etc
