Heck, I’ll give you 50 cents for this one.

But point well taken, NFTs do seem silly. I created one anyway:

Edited: to explain that this isn’t an ad because you can’t buy it. There’s some glitchy horror involved in working with OpenSea and Metamask and I just gave up. It exists, but it will never be for sale. (Unless I get interested again somehow in figuring it out)

My cousin a few years ago: “So have you been saving the US State quarters?”

… So I’ve been doing things like working around the house, building stuff, and dealing with work shenanigans for the past couple weeks.

WHAT THE FRUIT is a ‘fungible token’, and why are people throwing that term around like there’s no tomorrow?

EDIT: ok, did some googling on NFTs; Oy vey. Neat idea, let’s see how well it works out. and fungible tokens? y’all are kidding, right?

NFTs are used for different things than currency. Calling one better than the other indicates a basic lack of understanding of this. Though this is a funny joke.

NFTs are not cryptocurrency.
