You ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿฟ think ๐Ÿ’ญ it's funny ๐Ÿ˜ƒ to take ๐Ÿ’… screenshots โŒ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿšซ of people's ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ฌ NFTs, huh ๐Ÿ˜•? Property ๐Ÿก theft ๐Ÿ•ต is a joke ๐Ÿ˜‚ to you ๐Ÿ‘ˆ? I'll ๐Ÿคซ have you ๐Ÿ‘ˆ know ๐Ÿ’ญ that the blockchain ๐Ÿ’– doesn't lie ๐Ÿ˜ซ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜ค. I ๐Ÿ‘ own it. Even ๐ŸŒƒ if you ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿผ save ๐Ÿ“‘ it, it's my property ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿšฃ๐Ÿปโ›ฝ.

Explain.

Everyone says this but Iโ€™ve yet to see a real explanation

Take lots of cash made illegally. Convert it to crypto that is untraceable. Spend crypto buying and selling online artwork that is also untraceable. Convert crypto to cash with no paper trail. Profit.

So basically you're back to square one, with a lot of dirty cash and no way to explain it

It's not dirty if you have a paper trail just saying that it was converted from crypto. That's just where the trail ends

In addition to that, this process has been used for decades with the wealthy purchasing fine art at ridiculous prices. This isn't a new concept it's just now being applied to different currencies.

Thanks! Now explain the monkey laundering

Monkkey + washing machine =monkey laundering

Put a pair of "K"s in the dryer, and only one comes back out.

Wrote an entire copypasta about laundering monkeys but the ass spam filter on this sub removed it ๐Ÿค”

maybe you could post it to the copypasta sub

Having a physical asset you can sell is a lot easier to fake than a bunch of cash

The money is now "clean" because it was from someone buying your art with money, from which there is no source, but for which you aren't required to have a source.

No you make the money from selling nfts, you buy it with the stolen money/crypto. Then when asked where you got the money you say from selling nfts

Also crypto is traceable. Crypto is being used less to wash money than cash.

Yah, it's more about converting cash into sellable assets than laundering

Most crypto are traceable these days. Bitcoin used to be touted as "untraceable" but that's not a reality any more. I'm sure there's a few but monero is the only one I know of.

That's fine, because money laundering just means getting rid of the cash. In this case, converting it to something with a monetary value like crypto or an nft. It is no longer cash that can be counted but rather an asset

[deleted]

Blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum are literally public ledgers that require everyone participating to know and agree on. Completely traceable.

How is it 'untraceable' when it's literally on a public ledger.

There is a complete paper trail. For instance you can look at the guy who owns the alex.eth address and see exactly what tokens he owns and what he's exchanged them for.

Crypto is pseudonymous, not anonymous.

So.. back to unexplained funds, got it

The point is to convert cash to assets

So the existing wealthy art world anyway? The problem aren't the paintings or the nft's, it's the people causing the harm, not the things themselves.

Oh absolutely. I was just trying to (very simply) give this guy an answer

Dimond hands pfp ๐Ÿคฎ

If you know the theory on how money laundering works then you would instantly know why that would be applicable here yes

To conceal the source of money by channeling it through and intermediary... hmm

Thanks for the explanation and ur helpful comment

Damn what an incredibly knowledgeable comment, by the way as a neurosurgeon, noble price winner in economics, i'd argue that you're wrong and if you knew the theory you'd now.

very informative thanks

This thread is a pretty good summary of crypto makes a pump and dump scheme trivial

Thanks for that

Can't explain it because it isn't true.

You're fucked as soon as you cash out your unexplained crypto in a KYC/AML country.

You can send money to an unknown source that is actually yourself and can show that it has been spent (easy). You then use crypto tumblers etc to attempt to hide the source of that money and make it come back to you as if it came from a legit source (probably much easier said than done).

Note: I actually think NFTs are useful and incredible tech that is just in its infancy, just explaining how they may be involved in laundering.

You buy ethereum and make money off it

The money in your wallet still has to reported

You buy a bunch of NFTS with the profits and put them for sale

You then buy the NFTs back from yourself at a lower price than you paid for from a different wallet

Your NFTs are now a โ€œlossโ€ and they offset the profits you claim on your tax return

You now just claimed a bunch of losses and still own your NFTs and profit

The art market has always been used for money laundering and tax evasion. NFTs do that but with crypto currency.

Money laundering is based

Calling them "artists" is giving them too much credit

NFT โ€œartistsโ€ are dumb, imagine making money just by drawing a monkey with diferentes colors ๐Ÿ—ฟ๐Ÿ—ฟ๐Ÿ—ฟ

I think you mean NFT buyers. The โ€œArtistโ€ is making a shit ton of money from dumbasses. Itโ€™s the perfect job

It's not stupid if it works

Ik, Iโ€™m saying that itโ€™s the buyers who are stupid. The sellers are smart

The buyers, sells them tho. Almost nobody really keeps them because of "art" or something, people generally buy them to sell them later because they have rare variants to make money. Itโ€™s not always money laundering, itโ€™s just investment.

I meant the artist

Youโ€™re saying artist is smart and buyer is dumb, or did I get it wrong ?

That is what Iโ€™m saying

Eyy my dudes what did I miss

They keep selling them until the last owner is stuck with a worthless NFT that they spent millions of dollars on.

Dude I own this NFT. Do you really think that you can get away with theft when youโ€™re showing what you stole from me directly to my face? My lawyer will make an easy job of this case. Prepare to say goodbye to your luscious life and start preparing for the streets. I will ruin you.

What are the costs?

GODDAMMIT LOCH NESS MONSTER

No, it's still stupid. It just also works on stupid people

And there's nothing unethical about profiting off of people's willing stupidity, so long as no deception is involved.

Lol

It feels unethical to agree but I agree

Value is subjective, if they think it's valuable who are we to not take advantage of that

Yes it fucking is?

Sounds like the dream job tbh

Draw 5 colours, 5 mouths, 5 eyes, you just made 125 nfts.

Probably worse than drawing furry porn for money

No no no no no, th โ€œartistโ€ is a genius, itโ€™s the buyers who are dumb

All Monke is priceless

Youโ€™re using a handful of people to talk about the whole space though. Yeah the apes, and pixelated portraits are terrible. But really, really good artists have made NFTs. Iโ€™d be willing to bet that your favourite living artist has made, or is making an NFT.

If they do theyโ€™re not my favorite living artists for long.

Why? Because they put their art on a blockchain? Seems a bit harsh but you do you

to be fair, they're extremely smart. They saw a low effort way to rake in a ton of money and chose to exploit it

What if you put the word โ€œconโ€ before artists? More accurate?

My mom called me a artist after I drew a stickman

NFTs lookin like picrew ocs

They are actually really well drawn, though with hundreds of different versions of the same thing colors and composition will become bad. The lineworl, expressions and creativity to create hundreds of characters from the same template is quite impressive imo

But yeah they aren't worth a couple thousand or hundred or even โ‚ฌ20

Why is NFT art so damn shitty?

Because scammers are faster than artists

Some are good, most of them aren't

My question: what's nft art?

Basically you buy a drawing in the form of a crypto. So like imagine buying a bitcoin but it's a JPEG image that cannot be copy pasted (which makes it a collectible). The only thing is that they are all shitty and due to complicated crypto stuff you don't really own the art you buy. They sell for hundreds and thousands and people get really mad when you screenshot them.

How dare you

you showed the nft without paying 69420 PenisCoin for it ๐Ÿ˜ค

I apologize I can pay in dogecoin (funny!!!)

We only accept PenisCoin here.

Would you take 89 pegging bucks?

How the government allows this crap to happen is beyond me.

The concept of legal tender is completely out the window.

The government can't do anything about P2P tech.

Half of all dollars were printed into existence since 2009. People trust code they can audit much more than they trust governments who steal wealth through inflation.

I made 200$ today with an nft this is the new stock market boomer

Whatโ€™s nft

Profile pictures that people pay for that all look the same and the owner gets angry when you screenshot them

You ๐Ÿ‘Š think ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ญ it's funny ๐Ÿคฃ to take ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘€ screenshots of people's ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿง‘ NFTs, huh? ๐Ÿคจ Property ๐Ÿ’พ theft is a joke ๐Ÿ˜œ to you? ๐Ÿ‘ฆ I'll ๐Ÿ˜‡ have ๐Ÿˆถ you ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿฝ know ๐Ÿ’ƒ that ๐Ÿ’’ the blockchain doesn't ๐Ÿ˜š lie. ๐Ÿคฅ I ๐Ÿ‘„๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿฆพ own ๐Ÿ’ it.

Thanks, I hate it

Ummmmmm, no.

Im amazed the mods havenโ€™t given kevin this copypasta yet

IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE, JIM. MILLIONS OF FAMILIES SUFFER FROM IT EVERY YEAR.

I never understood the concept of NFTs, but this seems to explain it nicely. This was always my question when someone said only one person can have the image at a time: what's to protect their drawings from being screenshot? It always seemed dumb.

Thereโ€™s nothing stopping them from snagging a screenshot. In theory, nfts could be worth something and usable for creative art collaborations and be actually functional, but that will probably be unrecognizable to how nfts work now.

Itโ€™s not the image. The image is just a visual representation of the block chain number or certificate. I think thatโ€™s the rarity part.

For someone who doesn't understand programming that well, what's the purpose? To know you have a 100% unique image?

I think itโ€™s like a thing to flex and itโ€™s value isnโ€™t determined by other coins/FIAT going up or down- just on the value that people place on your NFT alone.

The IRL art market is the same way- this is just the โ€œmetaverseโ€ version

Perhaps, but people seem to price them in crypto, not in dollars. Like they are very comfortable to charge a whole ETH for a stupid picture even though that's thousands of dollars and it fluctuates wildly over the years. Taxes are a bitch too. What if you buy an NFT for 1 ETH and sell it for 1 ETH. That's no profit in ETH, but you pay taxes when buying it and when selling it, depending on how much ETH has changed in price both times.

Dude I own this NFT. Do you really think that you can get away with theft when youโ€™re showing what you stole from me directly to my face? My lawyer will make an easy job of this case. Prepare to say goodbye to your luscious life and start preparing for the streets. I will ruin you.

RemindMe! 5 years

Remind you of what ? Your 6th birthday?

i wish people would do their own research on them instead of believing this

Profile pictures that people pay for that all look the same and the owner gets angry when you screenshot them

Calling NFTs โ€œprofile picturesโ€ is like calling Disney World โ€œa ride.โ€

Not just profile pictures. In April, NFT videos were about memes that were sold as NFTs and Beeple art. In October and November, people are talking like NFTs are only profile pictures. It's just a stupid hype and NFTs could be a lot of different things. Mostly crap though, don't get me wrong.

No they donโ€™t

It's like bitcoin, but worse.

Do you know who else is like Bitcoin, but worse?

Yes. Dogecoin.

Moon or something, idk Iโ€™m not stupid

Also they use alot of energy, causing destruction to the environment

but how

It's science

server cooling takes alot of coolant(basically water). Also, the amount of electricity used to run the nft servers is a shitton, causing more coal generators to run=more pollution

Holy shit not only are they shitty but an actual threat?

Itโ€™s the same for any cryptocurrency

Not the same for all crypto but yeah some of them are problems

I have a legit question, I'm not trying to be snarky.

Which crypto is environmentally sound? It seems like the calculational nature of farming crypto will always be an issue, and if you can't do that, then how is the crypto produced? Thanks in advance.

Peercoin, and all the proof of stake coins that followed. Peercoin invented a green protocol a few years after Bitcoin and has been around for 9 years. It functions just fine on a small fraction of the power consumption and hard drive space.

Not every crypto is farming, actually most have moved away from that traditional method. Ethereum is also moving away, it just takes time. In about 6 months the environment argument will probably be redundant, itโ€™s quite misleading and never well made.

The terms are proof of work (mining) and proof of stake (staking) if you want to learn more yourself.

Bitcoin alone is still using more power than many countries. I don't see the problem going away in 6 years let alone 6 months.

The entire crypto currency space accounts for .09% of global emissions. The reason BTC uses so much is because it used POW. When ETH switches to POS, it will no longer use excessive energy. Thatโ€™s slated for early next year. Once that happens NFTs will create 0 emissions. 6 months is a long target. Itโ€™ll be sooner.

Bitcoin has nothing to do with NFTโ€™s

ETH has been 6 months away from PoS for like 4 years. Until they actually do and remain popular, it remains an environmental disaster.

Ahh proof of stake, where the rich become validators by "staking" and control what tx gets validated. Totally decentralized lol.

read up on this my guy. it's fucked that our climate's fragile state is degrading more because of ugly-ass art.

Imagine that instead of dying by a cool ass explosion or a cool black hole you die by global warming caused by shitty art

As a whole they're not as much as like cars or anything, but when you see what it's doing it's kind of like "is this really worth it?"

Yeah at least cars contribute to society and there are a lot of electric cars to avoid that, nfts are shit, don't do anything to society and just damage it

Not really, we got renewable energy these days.

I mean they could use the renewable energy but that doesn't change the fact that they are shit

It's a problem that is already being solved with ETH 2 coming out next year + layer 2 solutions on top of that. It's a non-issue. People like to spout that NFTs are bad for the environment, which is currently true, but we are not in the end stage of crypto and blockchain technology, far far from it.

https://ethereum.org/en/eth2/

https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/scaling/layer-2-rollups/

LOOPRING BABY

We are in the end stage of the world though

Itโ€™s fine if you use renewables

Well after it depend how it's managed. Water can be reused, and the electricity can be from nuclear for example.

It's more a problem of how states generate electricity.

because it's based on shitty blockchain tech

Most use renewable sources of power these days

Source?

Why are you asking that person for a source and not the one making the initial claim?

Because when it comes to bitcoin mining at least, the only way most of it is from renewable sources is if most people mining bitcoins are getting their power from renewable sources. That just seems likely to be wrong in a common sense way. Much less than half of energy in the us is from renewables. Much less than half of energy in the eu is from renewables.

Just because the person I'm responding to didn't make the first comment in the thread doesn't mean I can't question their statement .

You sound like a dolt only talking about Bitcoin and never once mentioning proof of stake and how it completely delegitimizes your only talking point against crypto.

Instead of telling people to read up on stuff you need far more education on the topic yourself.

I didn't tell anybody to read up on stuff. I asked for a source. You seem awfully defensive my man. Relax. If you don't have a source just say so and move on.

2+2=4

Source?

See. You donโ€™t need a source for basic knowledge on a topic. Donโ€™t just tell everyone youโ€™re a mouth breather who canโ€™t do the simplest of activities.

I could give you a source for 2+2=4 and I could do it without being a fucking twat like you've been.

Non-Fungible Tokens.

Rare Pepes but for real

I've seen the acronym nft before but I have no idea what the hell it means.

It stands for Non-Fungible Token, and it's basically a picture that you pay an absurd amount of money in crypto currency for and there's technically only one of each on the Blockchain. This entire idea is pointless thanks to the screenshot button, and it makes NFT artists salty

It's not just for pictures. An actual good use for it would be in-game items and stuff like that.

โ€œIn-game itemsโ€

An actual practical use would be verifying concert tickets, passports, lottery tickets etc. There really are a lot of real world uses, despite what you hear.

You know another way to verify concert tickets,passports, etc ? By just looking at and/or scanning the barcode lol. That's a terrible real world use

Well blockchain would be the ledger system that verifys the concert tickets/passport after you scan the barcode. It literally is the intended real world use. You should look into it, cool stuff.

That may be true in theory but I have serious doubts they'd implement that, iirc the wait time to check that each ticket is valid that way would be too large for it to be worth it

The good thing is it scales, when actual adoption among utility tokens happens considerable more horsepower goes into the system and it can meet ends fairly well. Vechain and walmart has already implemented a similar system in china for verifying authentic goods and has extensive activity. So far so good

A barcode canโ€™t prevent price gouging.

And you think NFTs can? The whole NFT market is founded on price gouging

Lol i really want them to answer this

I don't get it.

An actual good use for it would be in-game items and stuff like that.

Fuck in-game items

HELL Nah. NFTs for games would be the dumbest thing ever, the puplishers would exploit it to insane lengths

Mila Kunis is in a new show that's being funded mostly by NFT stuff. I dont even know how that works.

Non Fungible Token

Non-fungible token

Itโ€™s pronounced Nifty.

"Non-fuckable-bitcoin" -i don't remember who say'd it it was someone from discord

This is actually pretty funny, op far from a shitpost.

Shitpots can be funny. Maybe thus sub isn't the best example of that, but "shitpost" and "funny" are not mutually exclusive concepts.

But monke

So i can draw a monkey and sell it somewhere and easy money then?

lol nah you have to also mint it and then keep buying it yourself until some else suspects it has value and buys it

What does mint it means? The second part sounds like easy money since buying it gives me my money again

minting is what makes it unique, you will get a number that is only associated with your specific nft its going to cost you some money probably need 4 or 5 hundred bucks to start from zero to minting your first nft after that its like 80$ per mint. I dont fool around with nft because I make more money pulling slot machine arms.

And the part where it pollutes the world or people think is worth to buy that? And what do you do use it as a profile picture in a website? Can i just grab one and use it as a reddit pfp to piss someone off? What the hell is people on this days ?

Just screenshot it the art is exactly the same you just donโ€™t have the worthless chain of letters attached to it that supposedly means you own it

Still find it lame and im okay with my avatar , i just really don't fucking get the point of this, also there are a lot of real artists starving who probably had to sell FP in order to make some money out there and this shit sells like churros

literally I am a โ€œstarving artistโ€ and it is so annoying seeing these lazy ass monkey pfpโ€™s selling for thousands of dollars

I seen a post of someone who sold Dick drawings as NFT too , made 10k If someone does a FP one, it will make a lifetime savings

NFT artist are the modern day equivalent of "My Sonic OC RazonDarkWing the Third. DO NOT STEAL"

atleast they weren't laundering money with sonic oc back in the day

They even more creative and better look than those monkey and lion

Or were they?

Harpy.

NFT simps when the trend dies and they realize they spent their entire life savings on a monkey JPEG

At this point they should just draw the same drawing but just change one pixels color

Some have already done this

She-Cop

She cop is ok but I much prefer using surfer with gun

l prefer Space Colon myself

I download the NFT image and nobody can stop me

Reported to the authorities

The funny part is the pictures in this video probably had more effort to draw and look better than nft โ€œโ€โ€artโ€โ€โ€

K but what does NFT means?

Non-fungible token

I don't know what it stands for but it's essentially a PNG people pay for

It means Non-Fungible Token. Basically what if cryptocurrencies but pokemon cards. It also doesn't just apply to PNGs, any item of your everyday life can be represented through a NFT, so you can now sell your used toothbrush when you no longer need it. That's the future bro. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Non Fungible Token

No fucking thanks

Non Fungible Tokens.

Remember those Star registry where you could "buy" a star ?
Well it's the same thing, you can "buy" an access to an image. As the star, which is stil in the sky for eveybody to see, the image is still there for eveybody to see. You're buying a recept that says "Yo, you own that image". It has no legal value. Cryptobros are trying to pump'n'dump with that.

Yep

Can someone tell me which episode of regular show this is?

It's one of the ones that were on Cartoon Network

It's in Season 2 and it's called "But I have a Receipt"

Can someone explain what's with those monkeys? I don't get it

Money laundering, people make it look like the apes are worth a lot, only get some gullible person to buy it

Literally not true.

I don't understand. If someone screenshot the "art", who will be mad? The artist or the buyer?

The Buyer usually,

"You think itโ€™s funny to take screenshots of peopleโ€™s NFTs, huh? You must be a very immature person to steal someoneโ€™s property that they PAID for. Yeah, I said it. Youโ€™re the kind of person who thinks that property theft (a seriously illegal offence) is a joke. I donโ€™t even know why you took that screenshot, because you didnโ€™t pay 1000 dollars for it. I did. The blockchain doesnโ€™t lie. Even if you try to save it, itโ€™s my property. Youโ€™re just angry that you couldnโ€™t afford this priceless masterpiece. Even if you could, your fingers couldnโ€™t even click fast enough to get one of the 10000 NFTs sold. Youโ€™re just mad you donโ€™t own what I own.

So, delete that screenshot, or I swear, youโ€™ll be hearing from my lawyers."

I see. But damn...

Nobody. That copyasta is fake. Nobody has ever gotten upset over a screenshot of an NFT lol

Really? Thought that was real. I've seen people mentioning this everywhere and some on reddit convo too

Yeah because itโ€™s objectively hilarious. Itโ€™s a great copypasta. But no, itโ€™s not real.

It doesnโ€™t really make sense. Nobody would get upset about a screenshot cause theyโ€™re not buying the picture itself. Also, the picture is publicly available anyways, so getting upset about it makes no sense.

The pasta tastes great, but itโ€™s artificial.

I don't understand NFT and bitcoins, i can't get my head around them. Who vouch for them, how they got value?

And does NFT means my avatar is valuable?

No, it means you paid for a proof of ownership, which in turn does not make you the owner, you just get to keep a decent copy of it and you can tell others it's yours.

See, this doesn't make any sense, i can just screenshot it, who's going to stop me.

Nobody. But also nobody is going to buy a screenshot from you when they can verify what the real thing is.

But who sets the price? How can you justify something and say this picture on the computer costs idk 100k?

Fuck

I miss regular show ๐Ÿ˜”

Based? Based on what? On your dick? Please shut the fuck up and use words properly you fuckin troglodyte, do you think God gave us a freedom of speech just to spew random words that have no meaning that doesn't even correllate to the topic of the conversation? Like please you always complain about why no one talks to you or no one expresses their opinions on you because you're always spewing random shit like poggers based cringe and when you try to explain what it is and you just say that it's funny like what? What the fuck is funny about that do you think you'll just become a stand-up comedian that will get a standing ovation just because you said "cum" in the stage? HELL NO YOU FUCKIN IDIOT, so please shut the fuck up and use words properly.

Non fungible tokens.

Jessie what the fuck are you talking about

I made more money with nfts than with crypto and I made more money with crypto than with working for 2 years so all haters can lick my golden ass I guess

Nice opinion but your mother

I mean sure you can earn a lot of bucks from stealing nfts and sell em but you don't have to be a dick about it, after all this is reddit

u can't steal nfts that's the whole point bru

sure u can Screenshot it but u can also repaint other art but u can aways proof that you are the real owner which is impossible with good fakes in other art

i just completed the grand heist of all time. I saved all the nfts. Get mad, Lick my ass.

u guys just don't get it

Yeah but how often do you actually get asked if you own your profile pic or not and if you do get asked, do they also demand a authenticity document?

I don't give a single fuck about that I just sell them fir more money. also Twitter is implementing a system for exactly that. Other dumb people buy my nfts for much more than when I bought them because they wanna show that they are rich. Just like Gucci crap etc

[removed]

I choose keeping money

I choose investing money

Jokes on you just stole all your nfts (massive heist)

We may be "dumb" but atleast we aren't selfish like you, we know the consequences that NFTs have on the environment and we chose not to invest, but all you see is a quick buck

Don't fret over this guy its literally a kid that posts league and minecraft stuff on teenagers.

Of course he plays league if legends

NFT is when environment die, but you using reddit does nothing?

how else am I supposed to fund my house, tesla and solar cells? yall crying about beeing poor or having no time til you retire but I'm here in my early 20s and I can live freely and do whatever I want

beeing

We may be poor but you're poor in grammar lessons

sorry for not beeing a native in english u fkin racist

u fkin racist

Wait what? Lmao how was I being racist

idk I tried to behave like a feminist

You were trying to behave like an asshole you selfish fuck

Okay stop it, youโ€™re just making fun of yourself and probably gonna regret it 5 years later

I won't remember tomorrow

Someone's mad

Lmao okay you were at least a little convincing at first. Learn to troll better idiot, don't try too hard

Nobody cares about screenshotting except for the ppl screenshotting thinking theyโ€™re doing something

90% sure pretending that you are doing something is what annoys them

True, but most screenshotters arenโ€™t pretending, they really believe that lol

nobody cares about the authenticity of a jpeg either so it's fair game

I fuckin hate that show

It's funny seeing the early reactions to NFTs from people who don't know they're making fun of the future.

Ah yes the future where we all waste our life savings for a monkey picture that has a total of 0 uses

NFTs will go beyond goofy jpegs fast.

I'll explain if you want.

Ever heard of the tulip mania in Holland? This NFT stuff is exactly like that
