NFTs
BREAKING NEWS!! NFTs have lost all of their value |
NFTs or Niggers For Trade are a new, trendy way for retards to transfer wealth from other retards back to themselves. The first NFTs were made sometime in 2014 by Kevin McSoy and Anal Dash as a result of The Fappening. If you ask one of the pathetic nerds involved, they'll tell you NFT stands for "Non-Fungible Token", meaning your digital drawing of an ape is completely unique and one of a kind, just like an Aspie! They're basically a nerdier version of pokemon cards, if such a thing can exist. NFT investors will happily rant for hours about how revolutionary this technology is, apparently no one can comprehend randomly generated images being "non-fungible", though pretty much everything in the universe is "non-fungible" if you think about it long enough.
Despite the average NFT being even less valuable than a Yu-Gi-Oh! card, most NFTs sell for prices high enough to make even a Tel Aviv merchant jealous. With millions of braindead celebrities being paid to promote these ugly icons, the NFT market has been given an undeserved reputation of legitimacy, and their value is attributed to the hoards of Redditors and Twitter users pushing these monstrosities. The NFT detractors being just as uninformed and unlikeable as NFT buyers hasn't helped the situation; with so many reddit-obsessed teenagers spreading easy-to-disprove lies about NFTs, it's very attractive for some to enter the NFT world and just assume those who don't buy into them are clearly too stupid to understand what they're looking at.
Don't be fooled, if you buy an NFT, especially now as the hype and attention around them slowly dies, you will likely overpay for an ugly avatar that will only plummet in value with each passing day. The few friends you do have will make fun of you for it, you'll eventually have to sell it for a fraction of the price you paid, and you'll regret it for the rest of your days. Like many things in this world, it's already controlled by incredibly clever manipulators who know how to sell scams to everyone, from the savvy internet users, to the normies who hardly use the internet.
What are NFTs
You may be asking what are NFTs. Well the answer is simple, NFTs is a finical security of digital data stored in the blockchain. The ownership is recorded in the blockchain, meaning anything you sell as an NFT is automatically yours. The owner can transfer their shitty ape to someone else, allowing for investment through trading and selling with other basement-dwellers that will.
A common misconception surrounding NFTs is that once you buy one of their hideous pieces of art, you now own the NFT. In reality you only own the a copy of that art. Still, you can earn your undeserved money from selling your own copy of an NFT for a higher price to other idiots that will buy anything.
How NFTs are made
NFT's usually run on an Ethereum Cockchain, which is magic internet technology which wastes a shit-ton of valuable energy actual apes could be using. NFT's usually come in the form of images, though they can also be pretty much anything digital such as video and audio. Typical NFT "art" usually consists of a standard plain color background with a simple design pattern on it behind some hideous creature designed from a base model which is then run through some algorithm which clothes the model with different accessories, facial expressions, and skin colors which makes the NFT "non-fungible" or something. After the NFT is designed, it's placed on some crypto-market website for some sheltered dumbass with too much money to buy.
Why you can't just save the image
A common question regarding NFTs is "Why can't I just save the image or take a screenshot instead of paying for it?". The answer to this question is that NFTs lose all their value once they are saved "illegally", and the artists who produce them lose all their money and go bankrupt. In order to prevent normies from putting an end to their faggotry, NFT artists hunt down the IP address of anyone who dares save their image without paying (or God forbid, takes a screenshot of their precious art) and buttrape the thief and their entire family to assert dominance over any other monster planning to steal art without paying 500 Billion Million dollars.
NFT controversy
Everything about NFTs, from the way they're made to the way they're promoted, makes them a prime target of online hatred. One common argument against these precious pieces of digital art claims NFTs are a scam, as all NFTs are overpriced to steal worthless cryptocurrency from the brainless investor that will invest in atrocious for the short-term. Every single NFT is valueless, less valuable than someones shitty art on DeviantArt despite the "lucrative investments".
Another argument is that NFTs are way poor losers with no life to earn money without any effort. Anybody can take someone's hardwork and passion and sell it as NFT for a higher amount than the original, and automatically take all ownership. Meanwhile, since the original artist never copyrighted his work he has no way of ownership of the art.
Moralfags claim that NFTs are bad for the environment and are ruining society. This is because NFTs create high amounts of energy from destruction they give to are society.
Some argue NFTs are another way for companies to induce the public to buy their shitty products. Essentially, NFTs are like Pride month, just another dumb fad corporations follow to earn more money.
