Frankly it could be a fun bit to turn abstract philosophical concepts into NFTs. Yes, I own Cartesian Dualism and a little something I call "A Priori", because I'm an intellectual
(doing this bit might contribute to climate change)
I get the frustration. It's the price of having principles. You can see the financial opportunities you're missing because you won't sellout. It's seeing the damage capitalism does prompts one of two reactions - greed or disgust.
I think about how easy it would be to know chud talking points enough to get popularity. It's easy, but scummy. We just have to rely on solidarity instead.
If they learned we could ditch it rn and trade material goods
Even the core concept of "trade" is something of a scam.
Establishing a community of shared resources for mutual survival is the only real Leftist path forward. Doing Market Socialism mitigates the worst aspects of American-style Settler-Colonialist Capitalism. But you're still trapped in this system of rents and titles.
I'm hardly an expert on this topic, but I would recommend David Graeber's "Debt: the First 5000 Years".
It provides a historical view of money's origination and original utility, while positing a alternative approaches to organizing an economy towards the end of the book.
I picture trade as a symbiotic relationship where two people bring what they have(skills, materials, etc) to the table, and learn how to help each other with them.
That's a very individualist perspective. Commodity trading at the scale of nations doesn't typically work this way. You're dealing with more regional monopoly producers and monopsony wholesalers. Trade isn't about what one person can give another person. It's about what one industry executive can extract from a municipal population.
Nationalisation of wholesale production is a prerequisite for any modern era socialist project more ambitious than a street level operation.
Is it wrong to want to scam some fake intellectuals with my own NFTs?
If you can't find the mark at the table, you're it.
NFTs are just modern MLM schemes. You need to spend non-Bitcoin money to access the system and begin mining the commodities. And then you need to find a new pool of marks - folks who haven't dumped all their money into Dorky Dolphins or Flatulent Falcons or whatever - to buy your new stock. Unless you have that lined up in advance, you're going to be a scammie rather than a scammer.

Not enough that you shouldn't do it if you think you can gain. But you're trying to grift the grift so be careful.
I don't really know how NFT's work, but I had an idea to make like NFT anime girls, and tell weebs "she isn't really your waifu until you buy her NFT"
I'd be a billionaire of the backs of weird nerds who'd eat that shit up
