This is the least surprising thing ever
If you weren't using them to launder money for a criminal enterprise, then you were doing them wrong.
... ~~doing them wrong~~ falling for a scam.
Its not worth a single cent in reality
The whole NFT thing was one giant pump and dump.
Who could have thought it?
As with everything crypto this was a huge scam. Besides the obvious profiting from gullable idiots, the other use case is to illegally funnel money.
I purchased a really cheap NFT domain that I can link my cryptocurrency wallet address to so that instead of having to type out the 90 character string and get it right, you can type out a human readable domain. Other than that small use case, I've never had any other reason for it. But hey, it's kind of cool. And I don't see why not keep it since I already have it. And as I said, it wasn't that expensive anyway.
Everyone comment how much did they lose on NFTs.
I will start: $0.
Also I made: 0$
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."
Isn't it pretty obvious this was 99% a money laundering scheme?
That's easy to say with the benefit of hindsight in 2026. However, back in 2021, it was easy to say without the benefit of hindsight.
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Under a grand. Is there anyone really stupid enough to think this is still worth anything at all?
I would actually pay like $100 to say I own the EFT some moron paid millions of dollars for. I've bought dumber things. I paid real money for a 100 trillion dollar zimbabwe bill that is completely worthless. Great for cocaine! I've also paid hundreds of dollars for 1 night of cocaine, dozens of times, and have nothing to show for any of them.
Pro tip: don't do cocaine while you still can choose.
Great advice, but I've been doing cocaine rarely for decades. Think I'll be right thanks.
The dude literally has a 100 trillion dollars, it's fine
This was never anything aside from a scam designed to separate the tech illiterate from their money.
A grand is still 1000 dollars too high a price for these things.
I'll see your grand and say 950 is still too high.
Who could have predicted this? Literally impossible without hindsight and that's the revisionist history I'm sticking to.
What? You mean digital art that infinitely reproducible, can't actually be owned, WASN'T the next big thing? Oh jeez. I hope the metaverse succeeds and if not then AI surely will RIGHT?!?!
Dramatic? I found this an entertaining example of dumbness 🍿🍿🍿
For sure. This is comedy, not drama.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
