Been bag holding some shit coin you got talked into buying by a twitch streamer huh ? So much cope.

Does that mean the show is back on the table?

>>215298111 (OP)
It only works as a bragging right to say "I financially compensated this artist for creating this digital art that everyone can now download and enjoy." It's like donating a lot of money so that the city park can have a nice sculpture that becomes a selfie spot and you get a big plaque thanking you for the donation. That cultural cachet works for the original purchaser. It has no resale value.

I still can't believe people legitimately fell for the NFT meme
so glad the larger world trolled the concept out of existence

>>215298270
Some movie studios also sold them. You can buy Star Wars NFTs. Fucked if anyone knows what you can do with movie-based NFTs.

I want to call NFTs the most retarded thing in the digital age, but then I remember that people made billions off of them. I don't get it. That's even dumber than trading in real cash for digital crypto that isn't spendable anywhere on 99.9% of the planet.

that's why it's so retarded, though

>>215298459
Look at the date, this is old news. Although I do wonder what the point was of buying the ape back if he wasn't going to proceed with his retarded plan in the hopes of get some money out of the whole boondogle. Was he struck by the sudden insight that he'd just throw even MORE good money after bad if he actually produced the show? Hard to imagine but this seems to be what happened.

>>215298639
nah, the show's definitely back on the table, just needs a little more development time. NFT's are right here, right now.

>>215298589
It's not so retarded for those who made that money off of them.

>>215298540
>then I remember that people made billions off of them
Most of these tards weren't tards at all. Just grifters participating in a pyramid scheme to pump the bubble. So take those "billions' with a grain of salt. I suppose the last guy who bought an NTF before it crashed would be a legit retard, though.

That's absolutely more visually interesting than any bored ape and you or an ancestor can resell it for millions more than any fucking NFT is worth now

>>215298111 (OP)
those bored ape nfts have all kinds of racist dogwhistles and easter eggs
there's a whole youtube video about it, and it's real, not imaginary

pollock was a retard chad red blooded american who loved to drunk drive and killed his wife. NFTs were created on a computer by evil races hopped up on krokodil

>>215298815
>there's a whole youtube video about it, and it's real, not imaginary
You're retarded. The guys who made that video did it so they could sell their own version of the Bored Ape NFTs and ended up getting sued into oblivion.

Let me get this straight. He paid hundreds of thousands to buy it, then hundreds of thousands to recover it?
They are all worthless now lol. What a sucker.

>>215298789
I dunno, I think AI has fundamentally changed humanity already, you can't say the same for NFT's. There's actually a use case scenario for AI for the population at large.

>>215298836
How does this refute that (I think it was a bored ape nft video game) is full of racist dogwhistles and easter eggs?

>>215298872
Let me guess you only define racism as saying true things about Jews and blacks

>>215298730
I wouldn't pay $10 for this, but I value it more than a monke png.

>>215298730
Art auctions are mainly a means for money laundering. The law is way more lax about dropping $140M on a Pollock painting than on pretty much anything else, since you can participate in auctions anonymously and use large amounts of cash in the process. Doesn't get much better than that if you're sitting on a pile of drug money and wonder how to turn it into legitimate proceeds.

>>215298824
He was a CIA asset, whether he knew it or not. And no, that's not a conspiracy theory. They used him, because the US feared losing the cultural war against the insane socialists and communists who were pushing modern and post-modern art. If only they'd known how much damage they were doing.

>>215298730
Art dealing is an age old money laundering operation

>>215298872
>How does this refute that
Because they made it up and tried to argue in court that the product, which they advertised at the end of the YouTube video, was an act or protest. Fuck you're dumb.
>racist dogwhistles
Dog whistling is an ideological buzzword idiots use to validate their delusions and put words in other people's mouths, retard.

Always wondered why we didn't see him act in more things. Turns out he's smart and didn't need to. Good on him.

>>215298882
You still haven't refuted it. I'm not judging racism either way. I just find it interesting that this popular thing many people were going after a few years ago was actually full of racist dogwhistles and easter eggs which is taboo. It's out of the ordinary. I think people would be surprised to find that out especially if they are anti racist and bought one of the nfts. Like if Furby was actually made by the KKK and said racist stuff if you said the right code words to him.

>>215298730
High art is basically just a money laundering scheme for rich people. That said at least it's a unique physical object. I still don't understand how anyone could think "owning" a digital image could ever mean anything.

>>215298974
>You still haven't refuted it.
And you still haven't proved it. That which can be claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

>>215298974
>You still haven't refuted it
That's a different anon pointing out you're retarded. The people who made the video you're referencing did it so they could sell their own version of Bored Ape NFTs and their argument that it was protesting Yuga labs for being racist was thrown out of court, retard.

>>215298948

He's not even a bad actor, either. He's just been typecast his entire career because of playing Stiffler. Good for him.

The logic of the video was so retarded. There was a post on /lit/ making fun of it that I still remember:

Holy shit guys! I've just blown the lid off of the whole thing!

That anon believes anything he sees and hears as long as it's slickly produced. I wouldn't be surprised if he were still trying to STOP KONY, lol.

>>215299011
>Nah, there was racist stuff in there, don't lie.
No, retard. The video makes retardedly tenuous connections in order to convince retards like you to buy their NFT. They were sued for it an lost.

I can sure tell you what I do remember...

>>215299177
Boomers and zoomers both suck with computers. For the former they were too old when it came out and for the latter things were already made "user friendly" so they never had to learn how to problem solve.

>>215299127
I didnt want to diminish his success with my comment. I just wanted to point out its not "smart" to invest in Dividends, its just a standard practice.
If you have 12 million you dont need to be smart. Just by sitting around and gooning you can live forever comfortably

Fair enough, a biological woman would never make a Simpsons joke. Especially one so apt.

>>215299242
>If you have 12 million you dont need to be smart. Just by sitting around and gooning you can live forever comfortably
And yet 90% of all NBA and NFL players who make that kind of money go broke. So clearly you need some kind of smarts.

>Seann William Scott was paid $8,000 for the first American Pie movie. After the movie's success, he was reportedly paid $5 million plus a percentage of the box office gross for the sequel, American Pie 2.

that's an incredible contract considering theres only few actors that have been paid +20m for a single role

>>215298975
>I still don't understand how anyone could think "owning" a digital image could ever mean anything.
People got dazzled by bitcoin blowing up and then they saw NFTs as the next big thing except this time, they wouldn't miss the chance to get in on the ground floor and get rich. Nobody actually cared about the minutiae of what an NFT might be good for. It was tacitly understood that it's just bitcoin 2.0, that is, something you buy online for the sole purpose of selling it for an obscene profit a short while later.

In a word, the answer is: Greed.
The same thing that has allowed pump-and-dump-schemes to succeed across the ages.

There's a difference between not smart and retarded, dingus.

My condolences. I too almost bought bitcoin when they were cheap but I don't even remember what kept me from going through with it. A once in a lifetime opportunity to profit personally from the world's greatest pyramid scheme just passed me by. Best not to dwell on it.

>>215299334
>90% of the NBA and NFL is retarded?
It isn't 90% and yes, anon. They spend beyond their means for the sake of conspicuous consumption instead of hiring an accountant to invest for them.

Not only is that much more interesting than the bored ape thing but it's also an actual, physical object displayed in a museum. You can't just right click save as and have the same experience as seeing it in person.

>>215299334
>90% of the NBA and NFL is retarded?
Is that a trick question?

>>215298730
>what about
90% of the population think this kind of art is retarded. Even then, it's a unique physical object with a history behind it. Nobody actually want NFT for what they are, they want them so they can sell them later to other people who also want them to sell them later. Nobody actually want that shit

>>215299438
YEAH, PROBABLY SO WHAT

>>215299438
Probably not. I was going to put $10K into it and would have withdrawn my initial investment and played with the house's money. The reason I didn't do it was because the friend who told me about it was kind of an idiot and I saw that video characterizing people who invested in it as not knowing what they were doing. I figured it would mostly be used for illegal activity and that it didn't have real tangible value I could fall back on so I missed out. Oh well.
