Precisamos de outros visionĂĄrios, jĂĄ que os que lĂĄ estĂŁo vĂŁo em qualquer tecno-cantiga

“Last year, some staggering names such as Zaha Hadid Architects, Grimshaw, Farshid Moussavi, and, of course, the Bjarke Ingels Group pledged to create “virtual cities,” virtual “offices,” and equally vague sounding “social spaces” to be funded with cryptocurrency and supplied with art (NFTs).

There was only one problem: The whole thing was bullshit. Far from being worth trillions of dollars, the Metaverse turned out to be worth absolutely bupkus. It’s not even that the platform lagged behind expectations or was slow to become popular. There wasn’t anyone visiting the Metaverse at all.”

↳ In-reply-to » Got contacted on instagram from someone who wanted to buy some of my images (NFT), I have been putting the images I liked the most into a collection (and add new ones when I take Images I think is good enough) into the collection. Just letting it sit there to see if I can make a sale one day. Not sure yet if the person is serious or not - but If I could make a sale - then I'm all for it. It's much easier to put things up for sale as NFT then other ways. I sell them as a 1 item thing. And put a price that I think is fair (Fixed price on all, but based on the amount of time I actually spend getting to all these locations). One thing I have not liked about NFT is all the crap art stuff that there that takes 0 effort, but I do at least spend time picking out where we go. And each image has a memory attached to it, a trip with my family to that exact place..

So, not unexpected - but the guy was a scammer. And he took his time trying to lure in.
There where several red flags early on, but I went along with it because I wanted to know what the final way of scamming would be. So in the end he pretended that he had a ~5000USD transaction, and sent a screenshot from the same website as my NFT’s are on (to try to look legitimate), but there was obviously no notification on the legit site about this. He then sent another QR code (which I extracted the url from in a isolated VM), and that was the phishing site, a kinda similar url to the main legit site - that forwards you there.
So at least now his account is nuked and did not get anything from me at least.

I’m curious. How many people truly believe blockchain social networks are the future?

NFTs, tokens, monetization, revenue…

I’m sorry, but how are your random social media blabbers worth any money?
Unless you’re Shakespeare or Einstein or some philosophical or scientific genius, I don’t see why anyone would want to read your posts, let alone cash out some “crypto” from some “wallet”.

And that applies to most people. Sure, your lifestyle and your thoughts may be interesting. But who’s going to start paying to view what’s going on in your life?

As if likes, upvotes, hearts, and subscriptions weren’t narcissistic enough, let’s make people think someone wants to pay them with crypto to view their random posts online.

↳ In-reply-to » Had to add all my crypto to my taxes, damn that is a painful process. There are online services that helps with that part, so I use that to help. but I have transactions all over the place, so it takes a lot of time. But now it's done for this years tax report :)

@prologic@twtxt.net The one I actually use for something is Monero. I also mine it (asic resistant, mined with cpu). The others I just put some savings in every month. The whole pyramid scheme thing - I do not think much about honestly. Crypto is here to stay, won’t go away. And for me it’s better then stocks because I know nothing about stocks and such. I do not put much into it. I also had some NFT stuff that I minted - which I sold for 10x the price later on, but honestly - last year I gained as much as I lost, so it evened out to almost 0.
