Moving this shit where it belongs. This thread is so so condescending to anyone who dares point out the obvious. And now people follow me around the site starting shit about it.
Apparently you haven’t been keeping up with the crypto thread - the zeitgeist goalposts have done a 180 to “lol of course we knew monkey jpegs weren’t worth $5M all along, but still lol suzzer because old man doesn’t get the internet argle bargle.”
You’re so full of shit. Plenty of posters attacked me for ever comparing $5M monkey JPEGs to tulips. You just don’t understand old man. This is just like when no one got the internet (your personal favorite).
Imagine if during the meme stonks craze - some poster came into the stocks thread and said, “This is all fund and games, but you guys know GME isn’t worth $1.50, much less $150, and this is all going to end badly for some people, right?” Every single poster in that thread would have concurred. End of discussion.
But try that shit in the crypto thread and prepared to battle it out with a dozen hyper-sensitive very upset posters.
Everything else is just you shifting the goalposts and argle bargle. You may never have truly believed, but plenty of others in that thread did. And they did not want to hear anything about NFTs and tulips.
When this is all over and the cult wears off, you guys really need to read this book:
Then you can be the grumpy old men to tell the kids that this time is not in fact different, when the next one of these comes along.
Someday you’ll try to explain to your grandkids about how the rights to claim ownership to a pointer to a mass-produced monkey JPEG sitting on a server somewhere sold for the price of a mansion. And they’ll say “all right grandpa let’s get you to bed”.
