The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

No market manipulation among NFTs. NEVER EVER!

You're wasting time here when you could be ripping off more credulous people in your home instance. Pack up your crypto-carnival already. Whine all you want that it's pedantically "not crypto" when you don't want it to be, but that's just arguing about whether the shit is liquid or solid after a particularly bad stomach ache.
