    CMS Holdings' Dan Matuszewski [...] said "crypto just has a propensity for the density."

    What an absolute chad way to call these people a bunch of idiots.

      having the "propensity for the density" is also a great line to put in your dating profile if you're lookin' for a big ol' ass

        It's density, implying you're looking for a big muscular ass.

        Which, yeah.

    "We make cubes out of tungsten and sell them. Then, one day in our weekly brainstorming meeting, someone was like, 'what if we made a bigger cube out of tungsten and sold that?' And, well, here we are."

      i just love that these people think that they're geniuses and titans, ushering in a new golden age that the normies are too stupid to even begin to comprehend

      but then they're just like children impressed by how heavy a cube is

        I still don't understand how digital NFT's jpgs have value at least this one will have something physical to touch.

        The worst part is that some tiny fraction will end up uber fucking rich from these scams, and they'll be treated as meritocratic thought leaders because hey, they're rich, so they must also be competent!

      look, right now at cryptoschool they're learning about cubes and other shapes but when these crypto guys get to finger painting, i think we'll be the ones with egg on our face

        An NFT of grass so they'll go outside and touch it at least once a year.

    I feel like every new headline about NFTs should be the nail in the coffin for the market. Like, technically you can mint an NFT of a physical object that says you "own" it, and then you can't move it anywhere or do anything with it except sell it again because NFT "ownership" is nearly meaningless. This shit is literally the Tim and Eric prices sketch

      If feel like it'd be worth it if the cube was floating and issued a menacing hum.

      I see it as US Americans who know they're utterly screwed now and in the future. But we're all atomized, selfish settler assholes, we only look to get-rich-quick scheme like crypto instead of say, building collective worker power.

    Illinois manufacturer actually creates small cubes of tungsten, and the tweet caused a 300 percent increase in sales that depleted the company’s stock on Amazon, Coindesk reported.

    Markets are so cool. There are literally millions of individual junks on “the market”. Sometimes a Reddit guy gets aroused by a particular junk and expends energy displaying his arousal to others in the format of “memes”, which causes the market too to become aroused.

    This is a relatively rare but documented phenomenon.

    Unrelated to the point: I was excited to hear there's a 41-pound, 4-inch cube, then very disappointed that it costs $2,999. That's way more than I'm willing to pay for a novelty dumbbell.

          With enough lube and a dream you can achieve wonderful, terrible things.

      Yeah, I had to reread several lines because of how awfully it was written. I guess the absurdity of the subject didn't help either

    Why are they pretending that something that weighs less than a ton is impossible to deliver directly to someone, shit heavier than that gets moved around all the time.
