The whole nft thing is miles funnier than the broader cryptocurrency thing because nfts are about paying out of your asshole to buy a picrew illustrated by someone whose sole exposure to the art world at large was via viral animated cartoons uploaded onto ebaumsworld
Like don’t get me wrong, attempting to own a jpeg is hilarious enough, but I cannot stress enough how fucking ugly these things are. Imagine paying a mortgage for a bitmoji designed by someone whose sole job is like, drawing the cast of The Big Bang Theory in the Family Guy style
My favorite part is watching people instantly getting art-thief bots to steal these “$8k NFTs only mine do not steal!!!” and put them on cheap t-shirts
a guy walks in with two puncture wounds on his neck like “u should see the other guy” and then a vampire walks in covered in those cartoony lipstick kiss marks
it’s kinda sad I don’t live in walking distance to any of my friends or even my boyfriend like I feel shitty I just want to have a smoke outside and chill and it’ll be all cold and nice
