    I'll say it directly, tech bazinga bros have never actually created anything. They take pre-existing things and make them worse and then call it technology when really it's just ways of hiring labor for cheaper amounts. They come at the world with the presupposition it can be made better if more lines of code are involved and you can make a phone app with a misspelled name. Uber? Taxis but worse. Crypto? Money but worse. NFTs are the culmination, where they're attempting to backwards engineer the very concept of ownership.

    These guys are fun though because there's such a thin line between the ones who know it's a scam and the true believers. They're often the same person. Like the Juicero guy absolutely was on both sides of that.
