God, remember when links to pictures of monkeys were selling for millions and rubes ate it up?
It was not 'pictures of monkeys' it was art. It was digital art. If you don't get that then you don't understand money laundering.
Monkey laundering.
Coming to FX next this fall
Sitcom of chimps in the big city running a shady laundromat.
Run this on Adult Swim and I'll consider watching it.
How much can a virtual banana cost, Michael? Ten dollars?
I read that as monkey laundering
I still want to know how much money my wife's dumb ass ex-boss lost when the bubble burst. I think he was in the mid 6 figure range.
No
What?
It is with a heavy heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar. Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I was still proudly wore this ape. By extension, it is part of me.
I’m sure his wife and kids are deeply relieved by this news.
What a scam, my fursona didnt cost me anything
Fursuits are expensive AF, but they are quality products custom made by skilled artisans.
Yeah, but those aren't required dress code or anything. Most of us just make some shit up out of our heads that sounds cool and go with it. Then we'll fill all our online gaming and social media account profiles with it.
No Stacy, the ape mask stays on.
During dating: "and then i spent $300k to buy this monkey jpg..."
Wow, if this is actually sincere and not a gift of some kind... this person is really sad and pathetic.
Most scams prey on people with more money than friends.
Ohhh so they don’t target me because I don’t have either!
I mean, ha ha funny joke, but realistically, yes. Someone with no money and no friends or family with money is a waste to advertise to. You fly under the radar by virtue of being a statistically bad investment. You'll still get hit with all the same shotgun-style advertisement that the rest of us do, but you're unlikely to find yourself being a priority for targeted advertisement. It's a little bit of a silver lining to an unhappy situation.
Oh don’t worry I was cutting along the ‘funny because it’s true’ line.
Some of the shotgun stuff would get me, if I could buy basic amenities without crying.
I’m full on with team silver lining, I have a roof, for now.
When a homeless person asks me for money and I tell them I'm unemployed and live on the basic income the state gives me they say they're sorry and wish me good luck, they know lol
I must be invulnerable to scams then
Collecting Magic: the Gathering cards works much the same way, except you at least have some tangible cardboard with a highly variable price instead of a digital token signifying you own the concept of an ugly piece of digital art at the end of a day.
I wasted 15 minutes of my life to understand why he is staying that "blur" is crashing the price of that jpg
It looks like that there's a new nft marketplace that created some shitcoin as a reward for users. When someone trades a jpg , the platform print this worthless monopoly money and give as a reward for the user. Because there's dumb people that is buying this monopoly money thinking that surely it would be worth something, whales are exchanging those jpgs between them in order to get the free monopoly money as a gift, so they can dump them immediately and buy more jpgs to exchange.
What a waste of compute energy
but what kind of protest is "I'll have no choice but to sell the ape"?
like even if your "threat" is losing you as a member of the community, you're still selling it to somebody else who will just take your place
Two weeks ago myself and around 15 other high ranking ape members gathered at the recent International Ape Workshop in Miami
I have no idea how someone can say this with a straight face
Wtf did I read lol, half way through I thought I was having a stroke, apes vs Pacman!
NFT owner thinks no one should be able to use an NFTs pic as a PFP except the owner, but unfortunately thats not how this game works
As long as they arent using the image for profit, they can kinda do whatever they want
A fun rabbit hole my buddy sent me down a couple weeks ago was how these guys are actually a secret nazi group.
I now own it too
This is not in any way a meme
Lol
