    When a grift gets stale you gotta do it in a different way.

    Waiting for the "metaverse" and associated NFTs/cryptogrifts to get stale, even if what comes next may be inconceivably worse. :doomer:

      NFT's are pretty dead and crypto issuing back to the shadow realm. If these same people are pouring money into it, I can guarantee this won't stick either. The frontiers for new capital are completely exhausted and monopolized, and what these people don't get is thar although the space to post online and create online content is infinite, the ability to monetize things online is just as finite as in the real world because that's how capitalism functions, there are limits on expansion because money is funneled up and eventually there's none left to funnel except for things like gambling or speculation. And things like that never really hit the mainstream. You don't tske your family out to play the slots. It's a desperate attempt to claw out a space in capitalism that's either already filled or will never exist. They're combing the oceans for an undiscovered continent to colonize, barring any atom splitting level science thing, it's just people passing the same fish back and forth at the top and deluded gamblers who think owning the land the casino is on and hardly even charging rent cause they wanna bring new casinos makes them smarter than the casino that has cheap rent.
