I wish I'd realized that the author was an NFT shill before I got to the end of the article.

The author is one of the most influential NFT critics: e.g. https://amp.smh.com.au/business/companies/extortion-why-web3...

Thanks forkfork. I'm _absolutely_ not an NFT shill and my avatar is funny af because NFT/Web3 is meant to be decentralised but it's built on central platforms. The avatar/pfp that I use received a DCMA takedown thus is an doubley illegal NFT [this will make sense if folks are aware of the RRBAYC lawsuit] that I can't change. It exists in "my wallet" but it can't be used anywhere.

ps. The first ever Crypto Policy Symposium (with other critics like myself) is in 5 days - https://crypto-policy.tech/

ok that could be a bit clearer because i absolutely judged you for having a BAYC hexagon profile.. nuance is lost on first impression

I'm not sure it's "funny af," but I'm glad to hear that you're opposed to them.

NFT's (and crypto) are unregistered securities. How they are being peddled into the masses is dodgy af and is definitely not funny af. What's going down with RRBAYC (using NFT's to destroy NFTs) is funny af:

"They like one thing I'm not a fan of, so all of their ideas are worthless."

We disagree on this, so I'll take that into account every time I see one of your comments on this site. (Not really, but you get my point.)
