        all the monkey jpeg guys on twitter keep going on about "wow cumming monkey country club nft is such a warm and supportive community, love you all" like it isnt screamingly obvious that the whole point is that every single one of these dipshits is just there to try and prey on someone even more gullible than them

      it kinda is an industry at this point. there's all sorts of shitty companies that compete with each other to get people to buy it through them. even bitcoin ATMs. it's pretty much a bubble that can keep going so long as enough people with more money than they know what to do with keep on investing.

          Machine that translates made up currencies into slightly less made up currencies like dollars. Why you'd bother with crypto only to take it out as cash later... who knows?

            I mean, Wall Street has definitely been investing heavily in it (or they were back when I still casually followed this trash in like 2018), so...it's a speculative investment, much like any other shitty stock lol

            Except unlike them (where a stock can be mostly untethered to anything tangible), Crypto is completely untethered to any sort of tangible assets

          i think they let you login to certain web services that sell bitcoin with an existing account. they let you convert bitcoin into cash for withdrawal, as well as buy bitcoin with cash. most of the places i've seen them are gas station convenience stores but I think walmart is starting to add them too.

          it's essentially a speculation machine. they might as well put slot machines in stores.
