Wow, Dore managed to get the story wrong and miss the important part. Those worthless NFTs are being used as collateral to provide liquidity in the market.

It's hilarious rich people buy something stupid. It's super duper fucking scary the crypto sphere is secured by worthless assets.

    That is frickin' hilarious. Wait 'til they make Beanie Baby NFTs, that chick will have to sell her ass just to cover the mortgage.

    Maybe it's like collecting Beanie Babies.

    I just read that sentiment on Imgur about crypto in general. I hope that doesn't turn out true, but the silver lining is if there weren't people who hadn't already gotten into crypto the market would have less potential for growth.

    NFTs do have a really obvious use, representing video game assets. Remember how much gear in those MMORPGs used to go for, or even characters could be represented by NFTs.

    I have faith in crypto. I've been told banking is the biggest scam there is. Technology will allow us to divorce those banks eventually.

    Important to realize.

    The CIA also dominates the "Art World", and of course can money launder on shit of arbitrary value. I can't buy illegal shit from you, but I can buy a black-velvet painting for way more than it's worth without setting off alarm bells.

      Hmmmm as Hunter Biden Paints quarter million dollar masterpieces and has a very high profile showing at a gallery. It would be too obvious to actually launder money as the presidents son...not while he was the Vice Presidents son...

      Really?

      More obvious than going to war based on bullshit?

      To be fair, Dore never gets the solutions right but he's good at calling out problems. He's just a jag-off comedian after all.

      I might make some NFTs.

      You can just take a photo and upload it, right?

      This just proves how worthless buying images are.
