Counter point - I spent 5k of my own money on a dot that is worthless now because itās a dot.

Yea no argument here. I made like 40X on a topshot pack and quit. I just find the whole thing absurd and comical.ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ

If I sold the dot now I would have had a lot less money than if I didnāt buy the dot at all and took CanadaMatt to the french laundry instead.

Yeah I bought a dot for $400 and sold it yesterday for $900, a little over $760 after fees. All things considered, thatās a pretty decent ROI for one month.

Oh no, how big of a dot did you buy?
This is probably the hardest thing for me (Aside from not having any liquid capital) but like, doesnt conventional wisdom say you should only invest in things that you personally believe in?
My largest single stock is Costco, because Iāve believed in their companyās values and business plan, and its been incredibly lucrative. I just donāt believe in these NFTs, what they represent, or what the overall plan is for them. I cant imagine making a personal investment in it.
i like big dots
Is this a fat joke?
Iām probably the wrong person to ask. Iāve never owned stock or held crypto as an investment. I always had to stay liquid for PLO cash games that would spring up. I guess I donāt have an excuse now as I havenāt played live poker locally in 2 years. Ngmi

For me, I donāt really care about the money and need to justify the personal commitment of my time.
One of the potential hooks is investigating the psychology of FOMO, which I have problems feeling empathy for. Itās just seems so irrational to me. How much of the opportunity in crypto is exploiting the irrationality of FOMO? How much of the fun people have with crypto comes from shared addressing of this fear?
Wait what, an ecommerce site publicly exposes failed sales via api?
blockchain shows all
yeah what goofy said
lol blockchains show any attempted transaction? Seems like that would be trivially easy to DDOS. Or um something what do I know.
correct that it shows any transaction no matter if it failed or went through. The DDOS thing is not a concern but iām not sure Iām able to explain why, not a technical person like you guys. If you tried to send a million transactions you would just end up giving the block miners a bunch of money in gas fees. The blockchain doesnāt get bogged down like a website would, the busier it gets the more money you have to pay to use it.
i just went into the last mined block pulled this failed transaction out of it, cost the user $27 to fail

Oh lol didnāt think of charging the fees regardless if the transaction goes through or not, thatās pretty clever. This Nakatomi guy might be on to something.
