When my these first arrived my brother was all about them. Dude was stoked and thought he was the next billionaire. I then asked him what's to stop someone from copying the image? He shrugged and idk man man but im going all in. It was on that day that I knew my brother was tarded

Tbh I get it from a certain point of view. We all made fun of bitcoin at first but now it's pretty common for people to wish they could tell their younger self to get as much as they can afford.

I get the idea of not wanting to miss out on the next thing that did that.

Bitcoin is still fucking shit. That just amounts to "I wish I was there first in this this pyramid scheme". It doesn't change what it is.

Sure, never said otherwise, so you can see how someone could theoretically think maybe nft is the next bitcoin and want to get in early.

There were enough layers in that pyramid and enough years in construction to have room for more people to make a buck.

What’s the difference between a scam and a bubble, and is the bubble more legitimate or just a bigger, longer scam?

  • NFTs were a misuse of blockchain giving no real value. Plus it was very short term and really only rewarded scammers and manipulators. A true scam.
  • Crypto is better thought out and actually could serve as a currency. It has a bit more staying power and even enriched a few non-scammers. Does that make it a “bubble” ?

Did we make fun of bitcoin? It was a cool currency for buying drugs on the black market at first.

I made fun of it immediately, despite also recognizing and using its ability to facilitate online purchases of contraband.

The "next Bitcoin" has just been Bitcoin every time. Right now is its umpteenth bubble.

My first wife was tarded. She's a pilot now.

Yep! Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives!
