i refuse to believe that this is anything but the highest concept and most dedicated of bits

my kids know me as this ape

two weeks ago myself and around 15 high ranking ape members

we wrote and delivered a notarized [emphasis mine] letter begging pacman to stop this nonsense at once [emphasis mine]

every note is perfect by itself but also builds on every note before it.

    Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I still proudly wore this ape.

    New site tagline just dropped.

    This image has incredible sentimental value, as long as I can get money for it.

    did... did this man just equate a piece of crypto "art" to a living, breathing woman? and then say he would dump his wife rather than watch her be stabbed, as opposed to, idk, stopping the stabbing?

    a'ight kids, where do we keep the torches and pitchforks again?

    Is no one else gonna comment on how his wife is being stabbed to death more than once? She'd be dead after the first time.

    scrolling all the way to the bottom of this nonsense only to be hit with a picture of the ape in question is so funny

    My thoughts exactly, it was almost like running into a wall all of a sudden. Like, how the hell can anyone have positive emotions about this absolutely hideous image?

    (I realize it's probably a bit but we all know there's real people out there who are really like this.)

    That's not what the term "fetishism of commodities" refers to. It refers to the way that the simple presentation of commodities at sale obscures the complex social relations that went into their production.

    "I am selling my ape because I am convinced the market is heading in the wrong direction and will keep going that way because of the way it is being run" is not a very good sales pitch. It does not inspire me with confidence that this ape will be worth my purchase.

    Trying to explain this to my grandma, let alone a peasant from centuries ago, would probably do her in

    "I gotta sell this ape before it's price is zero" this man says, without any introspectuon as to him trying to sell this ape for money while admitting it's worthless. These people are the dumbest humans and should be studied.

    Your can still use the ape, gratis. Right click, save👍


    Yes John, I know..I sold it to my dear friend @dtrain22k who has provided me with written approval to use Salazar still.

    Regardless, it is still a soul crushing hit.

    It looks like it's a token that will be given to top users of the trading platform, meaning the people who buy and sell apes the most. Assuming this has "value" (lol) this means you can buy and sell an ape at a loss but make up for it by selling the token later.

    I never did understand NFTs. What happened to them? I know everyone here clocked them immediately for the obvious scams they are, but of course there were celebrities swearing by them and talk of them was everywhere and unavoidable. Now I don't hear a peep about them. My hope is that this is because every rich fuck or cryptobro who swore by them has been driven into the kind of financial despair they always mocked. Is that true? Are all the mid-to-low level NFT connoisseurs now destitute or at least dispossessed of much of their ill-begotten wealth that they had accumulated before going all in on NFTs? Are NFTs 100% dead now (thank Allah), or is there a chance these dipshits will push hard enough that there will be some kind of a resurgence?

    Celebrities were swearing by them because all celebrities hire management/consultants to handle their money. There was a boom in NFTs among rich circles in California. They became both fashionable and a way to quickly scam some money together.

    Since celebrity financial managers are all inbred with tech bro California money dorks, celebrities ended up endorsing whatever their management told them to endorse. Most celebrities probably didn't see it any different from doing a toothpaste commercial. They were told to buy NFTs to seem hip and to make money.

    I don't think anyone has actually been driven into financial ruin from NFTs. The kind of people buying the things already had a ton of money to throw around for other useless commodities.

    All crypto has been slowly dying since the whole FTX scandal.

    Named the ape Salazar which I am sure is not a reference to anyone.
