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.

    Heads up, we have a genuine cryptopeddler (don’t say it’s about crypto, because the goalposts keep moving even as the peddler argues for NFTs and related grifts) in this thread, and the entire carnival barker routine is now in play, including “beat capitalism’s casino by doing a newer shinier capitalism casino” and messianic “this will change the world and revolutionize everything” speeches.

      I genuinely hate how dense you are. Capitalism deserves to rot for breeding people like you. Oh well, enjoy your fair markets.

      I’m not even peddling NFTs (as pictures) like you keep pushing. It’s a type of tech (similar to crypto sure), that would provide verification of digital assets. You do not have that in your current free market in the states or in any capitalistic society.

      Things absolutely won’t change if we keep having dumb fucks like you take the opinions of billionaires over working people.

      Reddit was fucking spammed with NFT “content” in order to slander it. Big, very rich, motherfuckers don’t want you to be pro-tokenized-securities and if they have to make NFTs a “grift” to do it then they obviously will.

        Because I’m calling out the cynical grift you’re pulling.

        You’re claiming that the answer to capitalism is more capitalism, this time from a shiny newer casino that is already majority owned and operated and pushed by ruling class capitalists and that will somehow topple capitalism and bring about an unspecified utopia that you’ve been vague about so far but have used techbro language to try to dazzle people with your bullshit.

          “ You’re claiming that the answer to capitalism is more capitalism” I read this in the Christopher walken more cow bell tone and I just thought I should share. I got a fever and the only prescription is more capitalism

          That’s just not fucking true.

          Global company ownership (not peddled by some government or fiat currency) would be the #1 way to increase class consciousness.

          You would genuinely own a portion of a company instead of an IOU. Stakeholders would obviously be paid in “stock” and not a currency subject to USA dumbshits

                Yeah, and some people do profit from that. That’s the whole point. The problem being that the poor can’t afford to lose that gamble and they lack the connections or insider information to make better informed bets.

                But the crypto peddler said this new casino is different and better because the internet and the future and jargon words and revolutionize the world morshupls

                  well that makes no sense if it’s the same amount of money being bet

                    I’m confused. The rich and poor can bet 50k on a company? Surely you see the difference between losing 50k making 50k a year and losing 50k as a multimillionaire.

        It was garbage all along. It didn’t need slandering.

        And your clown circus isn’t really improving its image.

            You’re actually seriously pulling the “internet was new once” card.

            That’s fucking cringe, even among cryptocurrency communities at this point.

            Capitalists destroyed the image

            Capitalists so intentionally destroyed the image of a rent-seeking scheme. They didn’t just fuck up by being credulous and gullible by believing people like you and buying in. susie-laugh
