    You look into a mirror, you're wearing overalls you don't remember putting on. You shave your face, but the mustache keeps growing back.

    You try and speak, but you can't form any words but "It's a me, mario" You are mario. You will forever be mario.

    you get to be Mario as long as you like. You get to be him because you own him

    Thank god, I always hated having to share Mario in Mario Kart. Now for only $300,000 I can deprive others of the right to play Mario

      Pretty cool nfts in this scenario reduce the number of character options in the game. Capitalism is no choices etc etc

        Yeah this is all gonna seem super exciting until 2023 where everything has already been tokenized and there's nothing left to speculate on

          There will always be more tokens. Just like in modern day MMOs, the "Vanilla Mario" will have a stat of X while "Hyper Mario" Has X + 1 and "Giga Mario" has X + 50 and "Ultra-Delux Mario Shine" has X + 10000. You need to keep grinding to get access to the next Mario. Original Mario will be worthless as soon as the next Season Pass drops.

      Half a year later, Mario gets nerfed because there's no reason to assume that somebody rich and stupid enough to pay $300,000 to deprive others of the right to play Mario wouldn't immediately do that again to deprive them of the right to be Yoshi.

        I've played enough mobile games to know that they wouldn't nerf Mario, but the new Fire Flower Mario (Holiday Edition) would be twice as fast

    In a great achievement for science Bloomberg has developed independent evidence for "Pay to Win".

    was this written by a 60 year old who doesn't really know what NFTs are but watched his grandkid play video games once? what exactly is the appeal of that state of affairs?

    Leave it to the sick fucks at Bloomberg Wealth to be completely unable to comprehend why anyone wouldn't want to be surrounded by market mechanics every second of every day
