I don't even drop my suit pants to urinate. I just soil myself. If Wall Street calls to make a deal and I'm in the bathroom, that extra three seconds you'd take to unzip your pants is three seconds where I'm getting wet and rich.

      But what if instead of a stamp you had a receipt of 1/200th of a flight from Bucharest to Mykonos for one concert in a European tour? That's $280, multiplied by every time you've flown somewhere with a concert happening at that time. You could get infinitely rich fast if you buy $100 flights to cities with concerts happening.

      Me. I have a wallet in all four pockets and every app I could download with wallet in the name. I can carry more money than you can with your single wallet and that's why I think richer.

      I've had my boarding pass in my phone wallet before, pretty handy and I didn't need to download a special app for the airline or anything. Also to be pedantic, an Apple wallet or a Google wallet are built-in apps to your phone, whichever you may have.

      I'm so successful because I'm an entrepreneur. I take every opportunity to get rich fast and speculate on anything. If I'm at a Wendy's trying to haggle for used fries, I'll ask the worker "How much do you get paid in an hour? I'll bet you that much there are more than 7 fries left in that container you're about to throw away." Now I get calories and cash just for being bold and taking risks. You don't take risks and that's why you'll never have as many fries as me.

      The QR code confirmation of each airline ticket should be designed by a special artist. Then you'll make $280 when someone wants to buy that QR code for that seat on that flight. Scanning it will reveal all of your customer records because that's what it refers to. Simple as.

          Because artists love rigid design constraints, like making something that needs to be instantly readable by any sensor designed to read one particular thing.

              Soon that QR code will be an NFT

              That has to be what he's proposing, the design of the QR code box itself. It'd still be there for its functionality though so scanning the code on the ticket would bring up your customer information rather than the code linking you to an art piece. Lufthansa isn't going to print you a ticket with a code that arbitrarily links to a monkey jpg worth $280.

    Why not let an artist design actual tickets ans make them look nice, if you need to? Probably because he does not care about art, but the resale value.

      I realise now that he's not describing buying an airline ticket and its value being tied to some concert at the destination in the way that Phish fans do that with the ticket design. The QR code itself has an artist attached to it. The code whose functionality is tied to being a single generic design readable by any optical sensor. God I wish I could think this successful. I'd get rich so fast.

      Because I'm efficient. People often ask me "Gary why are you so successful?" and I tell them my name is Gr now. Just by eliminating the vowels my name is 50% more efficient so I can sign up for 50% more credit cards. While you're watching an entire episode of Rick and Morty, I skip to the end and already know that's not a pickle it's his grandpa. I can use those 20 minutes to trade stocks while you're still figuring out the mystery. I rummage through every garbage can I see looking for cans I can recycle if I drive to Michigan. One Uhaul van can probably fit hundreds of thousands of cans if you crush them. Think about it.

          Think to yourself, "how many times could I have driven to Michigan in the past year?". Just the past year. That's a 20 hour drive for me if I don't want to pay two-day Uhaul fees. While you were sulking at home about weah weah weah the system did this to you, you could have been making at least hundreds of dollars per year just from driving to Michigan in your spare time with 30 trashbags full of cans. How many times per week, per day even, could you make that drive?

    the art market has transformed art into speculative financial instruments

    NFTs provide a mechanism to convert any bit of scribbling or generative representation (QR codes, randomized ape avatars, etc) into speculative financial instruments

    so ... now any bit of unique representation like a QR code can be consumed by the NFT market as a new virtual exploited resource, so it's like a gold rush on grifting unique representations

    so I'm now announcing my new NFT-backed art project - Nominal Feces Transcripts

    I'll be minting a new NFT every time I take a shit. It'll be a digital photo of my shit with some artful filters applied with randomized color schemes.

      It's important that you're able to gamble on everything. I'm not rich because I'm timid. I'm not a coward. If I'm in a grocery I'll gambling at every chance because that's how you win big. I'll challenge other shoppers to buy me a rotisserie chicken and they can punch me in the stomach as hard as they want. I'm gambling with my LIFE and you're sitting at home wanting safe returns. I'll try to run past the security guard with arms full of food knowing it could spill at any time because while you're being safe and paying for the privilege to bag it I've got my eyes on the door.
