[Ensorceled]

> I totally agree with meowface that bigger problem with people shilling Bitcoin and ICOs and NFTs and other shams is that they're obviously snake oil salesmen pushing get-rich-quick pyramid schemes.

Oh, yeah, they are definitely a ponzi scheme, MLM or, at best, Beanie Babies. At some point this will all come crashing down, either by regulation or lack of new patsies.

It's like the dotcom boom all over again; where co-workers, friends and family are all buying these crazy stocks at insane valuations.

I was just curious why the meowface was focusing on the "whataboutism" of Bitcoin vs. ETH.

I was (first and primarily) focusing on the environmental impact for the reasons I explained above, but then (secondly) asking the NFT shills to explain exactly how NFTs solved any problems that couldn't be much more efficiently and less destructively solved, because I know they can't and won't answer. Their silence on the matter speaks volumes about their lack of integrity and competence.

Some people simply don't have working bullshit detectors, and those are the ones who need to be influenced emotionally instead of logically, because that's how they were influenced by scammers in the first place, and no amount of logic will change their minds.

When I wrote that, I hadn't even seen the ridiculously cringy part about "Your super-fans can collect NFTs of your published content" and the link to https://papyrusnft.io/ yet, but all I can say is "just wow".

You've REALLY got to be gullible to fall for that kind of unmitigated bullshit, but unfortunately a whole lot of people are. I mean, the background color and stock artwork and ad copy on papyrusnft.io is just mind-bogglingly tacky and ridiculous, but maybe it serves the same function as the frequent and obvious mis-spellings in Nigerian Prince scam emails.
