Let me tell you a story... I sold off all my Bitcoin and put it all into GME stock right when it was starting to go up... It wasn't much like it was worth 1000 bucks or something... And then Bitcoin went from 30k to 60k in like two months... And now it's closer to 100k Long story short I make bad choices and no fuckin way I'm selling my GME for a loss just for it to double or triple again in two monthswrote 24 days ago last edited by

It's not I assure you... I paid like 50 bucks for the Bitcoin I think maybe 100 at most... I had it for a while... I don't care about the money it's mostly written off I just let it sit at this point because you can't time the market or somethingwrote 24 days ago last edited byIt's more a commentary on your writing style, but the potential for satireality is written all over it. > <1000 bucks or something > Long story short I make bad choices and no fuckin way I'm selling my GME for a loss just for it to double or triple again in two months

What ya dont want to gawk at the gangster spongebob shirts that seem to be at every stall?wrote 24 days ago last edited byIt's moreso that the vendors seem to fall into two not entirely seperate categories. - The sheistiest sheister that you would be terrified to get in a van with. - Someone who definitely has a borderline illicit script of oxy on them and think bathing is an option, and a philosophical dilemma.

They don't sell a lot of video games at farmers markets and craft shows... You have to go to a flea market for that, and those are rather dodgy.wrote 24 days ago last edited byYou can get them online for free

"illicit script of oxy on them and think bathing is an option" Do we have a Lemmy Uppity Award for fake narratives? If you actually walked around a flea market, as a human being, you would see it's mostly families and senior citizens. You've selected a few "characters" for your narrative and have grossly stepped into some pompous position of enlightenment. Anyone that loves cheap electronics to tinker with absolutely gets thrilled to go to a flea market with some disposable income. It takes a special kind of drug induced "sketchy" person to wake up at **6am on a saturday** to try and make some income, damn shame there's people like you out there that wouldn't give the location a chance but will walk into any corporate store without a thought to "**all the shady, drug ladened CEO's you don't want to get into a van with**". But you can't see them so I suppose that might make it better for you.

Neither of you are correct, technically, although you shouldn't feel bad about that as it's what 99.9% of people think. An NFT is a representation of ownership on the block chain ledger. It can represent ANYTHING, houses have been sold as NFTs as well as many other things. I'm curious about the claims of the guy above you as well, I certainly don't know for sure, but I don't see why it should take incredible amounts of energy to maintain block chain, and it sounds like that user is conflating crypto mining with NFTs. Note: I am not promoting either, please don't buy crypto or pointless NFT images!wrote 24 days ago last edited byI'm glad some people understand beyond the headlines, I think NFTs could be really neat as a way to have some sort of in-game item or w/e, fully transferable and all that

Especially since most nfts I'm aware of are on the ethererum blockchain, which now uses orders of magnitude less electricity from the switch off of PoW

DEI is some zealous American Puritanism which has no relevance in France, so I’m confused how he made the connection?wrote 24 days ago last edited byI don't really know much about French politics, but surely there is something similar that right wing reactionaries can get upset about there. For example a Dutch friend of mine who has been radicalized by Joe Rogan, Twitter, and Facebook tells me that you can't say anything bad about Islam in Holland, as he sends me link after link with fascist anti-Muslim propaganda. (Like... you can't say things that the "news" that you just sent me is literally saying?)
