Yup. I was one of the artists that dude tried to push away. I wasn't too interested in that behavior and made my position clear. Now we have NFT platforms and hardly any artists. Yet the mainstream loves NFT, while this crypto crowd here was busy calling it a scam. Any time arts and entertainment combines with crypto and the public finds out, they love it. Just look at how many showed up with no interest in crypto but plenty interest in creating content and generating an audience, while the some of crypto crowd here says there's no value in content. ...as some work on developing content platforms. "We want SMTs!" and don't even realize the 'M' stands for fucking media.
I'm glad I wasn't around when that chick got slammed. I know all about it though. She wasn't the only one either. That was sickening for sure. Social media mobs get ugly. People get kicked when they're already down.
And yeah man. I remember when the goal was to create an entertaining atmosphere. Still bugs me when folks show up, create some cool stuff, but then just fade away into the crypto cult, never to entertain again. So many just love to follow that money.
People love creativity, art, humour, compelling stories. Thats what people look at on the net. They don't run to random sites to pick up half assed commentary on crypto. Its so obvious it hurts. Something viral isn't going to be someone bleating about X coin going parabolic... maybe
And that cracks me up :OD
Although, it shows the mind boggling herd mentality of them all that they are still hankering after an airy fairy idea that Ned had all those years ago. It is quite ridiculous.
Crazy thing is, I see no problem getting this thing on track and succeeding. These issues are minor and just kind of silly. Nothing a bit of duck tape can't fix. I think the madness comes and goes in waves. Get some solid interest from the normal human crowd on the internet and this project no longer has to deal with this boom and bust cycle crypto can't seem to detach itself from. And there are still quite a few around who don't have their heads buried deep inside the ass of the crypto echo chamber, so that's good.
There are definite upsides. Just got to keep the eye on them!!
Probably bad timing grumbling about excessive and annoying crypto content as they're going through another mid-pump crisis and trying to act cool about it, while blaming their problems on Elon Musk...
But that's the cool thing about comedy. It literally writes itself.
P.S. If I suddenly die tomorrow, it wasn't suicide.
It does write itself. The very same folk who were clapping each other on the back for being financial savants are now throwing up in the toilet at the thought of telling their wife she wont be buying no new shoes for a long time... :OD
If it were to happen, I would demand to be put in charge of your case immediately and would leave no stone unturned in my hunt for the perpetrators of the deed!
Yup. Blame one or two misconstrued tweets from famous personalities. Don't blame and completely ignore the previous months worth of millions upon millions of social media posts across several different platforms all created by the very people talking about how great everything is and how nothing could possibly go wrong.
What's interesting (and I learned this years ago) is if you observe the inflated heads and place the data on a chart, it tells you exactly when to get out. Or you can add the word 'shit' to bull run. Much like a stampede, you can hear the bullshit coming from a mile away, which gives you plenty of time to step aside and stay out of their way.
Bullshit it is!
I love the fact that everyone is an expert and they all predict amazing things until it goes pear shaped then they think they are being incisive and cutting edge by suggesting it might be bad for a while then at the first hint of an upside go back to saying things will be amazing and new all time highs blah blah
But its Elon Musk's fault :OD
