So it’s NFTs, not cryptocurrency, but two sides of the same Bitcoin. https://twitter.com/tmorello/status/1438662192996524037?s=21

Releasing artwork of his D&D characters with original music for each is one hell of a long way from supporting Libertarian crypto-bro BS. Sure nfts are dumb, but this is definitely not two sides of the same coin

Well I gotta check out this video later. But I watched the first minute.
WTF??
That coin mascot is begging for a cease and desist from Mr. Goodcents.

A 3D artist also found some of their rigs being used in the Cryptoland animation. Their rigs had a non-commercial license, so the artist asked Cryptoland to remove them from the video. Cryptoland blocked the artist as a result.

They’re on the London Underground too - between the dating app ads and the ones selling overpriced international calls - both of which look like sound businesses by comparison.

NFTs are literally just a computer file tied to a block chain, sometimes even a crypto currency block chain. The only real difference there is your series of numbers being tagged to a specific jpeg. So the pitch is more “collectables” than “currency”. Otherwise they function the same, are traded the same, are promoted and businessed by the same Crypto-Bro Libertarians and financial “geniuses” with the same BS.
It’s absolutely two sides of the same coin. I don’t neccisarily blame any given creative for jumping on what is basically a low pressure, easy money fad. But there’s a bit of dissonance with Morello jumping on this sort of thing.

What. The fuck. Did I just watch?
Its like a fever dream wrapped inside of a pruno black out with the skin of Mr. Goodcents reanimated via the dark arts!
I have to keep pausing to regain my grip on reality, only to have it instantly pull me back under. Just when I think I am ok they break into a song and dance number that parodies a song from Grease.
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?

Crypto version of the Nigerian scams - being transparently a scam is an advantage, as it selects for the best victims…
I think they say somewhere that transport on the island will be via off-road electric carts of some sort, so they’re apparently not even planning on anything but dirt trails.
With the crypto ads, they’re fully aware a crash is imminent - they’re just trying to get as many suckers in as possible to bring up prices so they can dump what they own. It’s the pattern.

Surely you get docked 10 of your ugliest NFTs for being the first crypto-islander to resort to threats of state force during the farce stage of the project…
Or is that OK because something something defamation common law tort something something?

To be pedantic, it’s even worse than that. It’s not even a file tied to the block chain, it’s a URL link on the blockchain to a file that may or may not exist in a few years.
