The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

Would anyone care to explain the difference between NFTs and crypto? Or more specifically, why crypto still has some following since both are the same grift.

An NFT is a receipt in crypto. Instead of an entry to the block chain that says -1 coin for you +1 for me, you have an entry that says someone paid for 'https://hexbear.net/PPB'. And its all text, just the URL. If the URL becomes invalid shrug-outta-hecks
