You better quit yapping before I steal more of your bytes pal, it'll be the biggest regret of your life
How do you steal a hyperlink to a jpeg
"Do I look like i know what an NFT is?
I just want a picture of some gaht dang shitposts."
And why should any sane person care if you did?
It's a digital file. Copies are exactly the same as the original.
One of the great thing about the AI revolution is that since generating infinite number of unique random (and commonly, bad) pictures of literally anything you can think of takes only seconds, the entire concept of NFT has become completely worthless as it completely destroyed the value-from-scarcity argument. Not that it ever was a good argument to begin with.
Just because the suckers that bought them paid millions doesn't mean that the NFTs are worth millions.
I'm worth millions, but I'm paid jack shit :(
I guess the millions are in the transaction fees
I'm having difficulty with the word "worth". It appears to be doing an awful lot of heavy lifting
There were sufficiently stupid people to pay money for NFTs. They will sufficiently stupid people around to pay the ransom.
Lol "worth"... that word is absolutely meaningless. This chewed gum I have is "worth" $2.7 billion dollars!!!
Can't even read the website, as the third modal, the newsletter modal, refuses to close. Yeesh.
Did they steal all NFTs?
ITT: a handful of people starting to sweat about their NFT retirement strategy
…Been a minute since I’ve seen this fark headline meme.
Let me get this straight, you can steal an nft but you can't own an nft?
Sounds like a great way to make an insurance claim on a bunch of NFTs worth "millions" that you could not convince anyone to buy.
No one is gonna buy any NFTs for millions lmao
As crazy as it sounds, some people do.
They did. For like a week last year. Then everyone realized it was a scam.
Love how the NFT hype was a big wealth transfer event. So many rich people, like wealthy oil Arabs, bought into the scam and moved so much money into artists pockets while they essentially got nothing in return.
Accurate headline:
Millions of dollars lost as NFTs worth a total of $0 stolen
Does this post give anyone farker vibes?
The platform behind the smart contract has to issue a new smart contract and migrate people to it.
