Also I made: 0$
Damn, I lost twice as much as you did.
I found value in shitting on people buying them. $0 monetary gain, but at least $10 in schadenfreude.
I trolled people by setting their NFT as my avatar in the chat rooms they were in. Im going to value that at $100.
Best use of an NFT I've ever heard of!
I've been watching a lot of Antiques Roadshow clips and I imagined one of the appraisers doing a valuation of your shenanigans.
"You bought this magnificent piece sillyness when and for how much?"
"oh I just copypasted it to my profile for no money at all"
"Well that was very good deal indeed, because on in todays money the entertainment value alone is in the hundreds of pounds."
Better hope they don’t sue you for copyright infringement.

Putting a dollar figure on your schadenfreude? Do you want a block chain based "prediction market" for schadenfreude? That's how you get a block chain based "prediction market" for schadenfreude.
Yes, as long as I'm on the receiving end of the pump and dump. In the end, I'll only be taking money from people that clearly have too much. I'll donate some to some good charity so it's not a bad thing
