    Imagine driving for eight hours in a small car, all the way out to the middle of the Nevada desert in sweltering heat. Then covering yourself in body paint and taking a double hit of Ketamine alongside your big titty goth girlfriend. You're walking out into America's premier orgy, but you stumble into "Intro To NFTs" marketing event.

    Fuck me, that would be the worst buzz-kill of my life.

      Imagine leaving your San Francisco crypto job to go to the same desert, dress in a cheap suit, and give an Intro to NFTs seminar to a crowd of people taking ketamine. And you can't have any ketamine yourself. It seems like the most miserable camp at the most miserable festival I could go to.

        I refuse to believe Silicon Valley crypto shills aren't on ketamine at least as regularly as the Madison Avenue guys were on booze and coke.

        Idk, man. That many people showing up, and plenty of them are regulars. Clearly there's some kind of appeal. I've heard the art scene is still pretty cool. If you're just coming to see a giant outdoor art museum and you don't mind the smell of patchouli, I can see a certain appeal.

        Not meaningfully worse than RenFaire, anyway.

          The only thing worse than explaining crypto in the desert without ketamine is explaining crypto in the desert on ketamine.
