Edit: I just checked on the community for the first time in a few years and they are still thinking this will happen. If you ever want a story about how irrational and dumb money can make groups of people in the context of stocks, look no further than the story of Gamestop.
> "Because ultimately it's not about facts, it's about power. QANONs are not otherwise empty vessels who believe one whacky thing, they have an agenda. QANON; what it accepts, what it believes, is driven by the outcomes it justifies. The reason they aren’t more bothered by Q constantly getting things wrong, why they aren’t more bothered by the extreme inconsistencies and outright contradictions, by the claims that are just materially wrong, is because it gives them power over others who are bound by something as weak and flimsy as reality. They claim to be against corruption while hanging their hopes on an openly corrupt man, and that naked hypocrisy is the point."
> "They will effortlessly carve out an exception because it makes them exceptional. They engage in wild hypocrisy as an act of domination, adhering to something demonstrably untrue out of spite, because they believe that power belongs to those with the greatest will to take it; and what greater sign of will than the ability to override truth? Their will is a hammer that they are using to beat reality itself into a shape of their choosing; a simple world where reality is exactly what it looks like through their eyes; devoid of complexity, devoid of change, where they are right and their enemies are silent. They are trying to build a flat Earth."
Remember that time Seth Green was going to make an NFT show, but then the “star” NFT was stolen and Seth had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to get it back, and then the show ended up not happening anyway?
Why is there zero information about that on Seth Green’s Wikipedia page?
Since this is also about GameStop specifically, his "This is financial advice" video addresses the GameStop cult, and to a lesser extent the bizarre cult around GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen, really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pYeoZaoWrA
Also, cue some apes/NFT investors coming in to ask "why do you care about my money?" and other oft-repeated talking points.
It continues to amuse me that the most iconic set of NFTs were so aptly named: Bored Apes. That's exactly what the owners were, just a bunch of bored people with too much money.
Don't believe the doom and gloom same with the metaverse and VR it's already a huge thing and only growing...
The rollercoaster in between is to much stress and usually not worth the ride
If it helps, I also think those people are weird.
I'm just pointing out that NFT's, in a lot of cases, just point to an image on a website...
Why are you upset about that?
If you wanted me to be more specific, you didn't give me any details.
Now that you did...
How long did you have that "land" and what's it worth now?
