    Sitting in the corner of an empty bar, crying into a santa hat so the staff can’t see the tears, googling “hhwo to make nft of pciture samsung galax9y”. There’s pee running down my leg again but I can’t go to the bathroom. Goddammit I need to see my son again. I need him to respect me. If I can just… just turn his photos into NFTS and sell them on the internet. I can give him one as a Christmas gift (it’s still Christmas) and sell the rest. Get rich so fast. Tell him I got a job as an investor which is much more important than his mother’s new “doctor” boyfriend.

    I'm only an apprentice carpenter of heaven so my lathe work is sloppy, but we're going to reach brave new tiers of deadbeat dad with NFTs. Next Christmas, there will be at least one kind of NFT for sale at gas stations. There will be at least one cryptobro-turned-familycourtcrusader who brags about buying one while drunk-driving home on Christmas Eve because his ex can't turn him away if he shows up dressed like santa with gifts. He will be arrested for screaming "this is worth $300k, your mom's new boyfriend only bought you a car" while holding a simulacrum of a fidget spinner.

    This is the golden era of Guy.

      So much of it will be driven by fear of missing out and survivorship bias.

      Nothing new. Just more absurd and grotesque. :desolate:

        That's why NFTs will naturally migrate to gas stations. They'll be the new form of lottery tickets. Buy a pseudo-url of a random JPG and maybe it will be worth a fortune for some reason. Little old ladies pawning their food stamps outside so they can get one more Danger Donkey Series IV that they don't know how to access.
