      NFTs and Crypto/blockchain have some really good usecases. Unfortunately everyone one that shills them is a hustle bro type.

        Unless they’re dealing dope on the DNM. Then they’re professional suppliers that want their product to generate as much as possible an oncoming, long term relationships that are respected for their strength in security and quality. You’re about as likely to get fentanyl in your meth when you buy from regular long term vendors as you get real professionals on the street that won’t stab you in the back; literally *and * metaphorically.

            Dealing dope ain’t bad business because the nature of the acts potential only perpetrates damage on the community. It’s because the damn-near-century of the dope parade of prosecution trick you not looking down the scope of understanding. Liars and denials of all trues of value spin the product responsible for anything at all to save your life and ignoring the blatantly obvious paint of something less than an object even being able to make a choice like you or I.

            Objects do not make choices. Your choices, when blamed on “addiction” (a completely nonexistant concept just like objects able to make choices and will) is at least a misleading denial of the truth if not a deceptive trick to give you ideas that have value determining your will.

            That might sound ridiculous but that’s be cause it is. Drugs don’t make choices. You, people, make choices. Every fucking word the DEA says does absolutely nothing but gamble on the viability of the life of everyone. Everyone loses because objects will never have will, make a choice, or perceive the truth.

            They aren’t trying to win the inevitable death path. They’re fucking paving it via baking the planet, infecting everything and everyone everywhere, simulating intelligence with an object of no real similarity to usual and with zero true understanding of what intelligence even is, let alone how.

            Denying women’s right to do better than what we call ruling or leadership, because none of us have ever done that truely even in our last 12ky, is the very source of this collective suicide.

            There will be drugs. You will do them and die. But the suicide is from the dope. It’s the Karma of denying women’s their rights when they hold that chains of all your skulls on their neck.

      NFTs aren’t inherently bad. Ethereum is however inherently bad.

          NFTs require arbitrary data storage, which not all blockchains support (or are prohibitively expensive).

          In theory, yes but most people associate NFTs with the ETH.
