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.

    Reddit was fucking spammed with NFT "content" in order to slander it

    It was garbage all along. It didn't need slandering.

    And your clown circus isn't really improving its image.

        You're actually seriously pulling the "internet was new once" card.

        That's fucking cringe, even among cryptocurrency communities at this point.

        Capitalists destroyed the image

        Capitalists so intentionally destroyed the image of a rent-seeking scheme. They didn't just fuck up by being credulous and gullible by believing people like you and buying in. susie-laugh

          My favorite retort to that one is "They laughed at the Wright brothers, but they also laughed at Bozo the Clown".

          Or for this example, yeah, the internet was new at one point. The Juicero was also new at one point.

            That's perfect. I can also say that Theranos was new once.
