Yes, I know that it still exist, and yes, decentralized currency which utilizes distributed, cryptographic validation is not actually a strictly bad idea, but…

Is the speculative investment scam, which crypto substantially represented, finally dead? Can we go back to buying gold bars and Pokemon cards?

I feel like it is, but I’m having a hard time putting my finger on why it lost its sheen. Maybe crypto scammers moved on to selling LLM “prompts?” Maybe the rug just got pulled enough times that everyone lost trust.

    I explicitly said in my comment:

    Unfortunately this adds some complication to the registration process that the Fediverse really can’t afford right now.

    You don’t appear to have actually read it all the way through, just triggered a standard anti-NFT rant off of the fact that the word “NFT” was present in it. Which is ironically exactly the problem I was complaining about.

      I read it. And I disagree. Because it’s fuckin stupid.

      It isn’t that it can’t handle it “right now.” It will never handle it. Nobody wants it.

      But I bet “you can’t read, you’re just triggered by a word” is way easier to imagine than someone actually disagreeing with you, if you can’t handle reality.

      What an asshole.
