Katie NotopoulosI’m thinking about Jan 2022 vs Dec 2022… how it seems like everything (in tech) has done a 180. Twitter, obviously. But also like, NFTs were the hottest thing! Crypto ads in the Super Bowl! Now it’s completely collapsed. Meta, Amazon et all layoffs, something previously unthinkable. What else?? What about the flip - something that started the year in the toilet and ended up succeeding?
J🍩hn Fünk@peepeepoopoop Maybe it's just because I was listening to the right people all along, but I don't remember hearing anything other than "NFTs are an obvious scam and anyone who buys them is dumb."
rniente@probablyjohnfunk @peepeepoopoop I think a lot of us thought tlthey weren't worth buying. It was the media trying to make something substantial out of it.
Jake in the desert@probablyjohnfunk @peepeepoopoop the only people I saw seriously consider NFTs we're tone deaf celebs, crypto bros and desperate artists. That's it. I saw very few real artists buy in. Talk about a thing that's clearly a scam
Ana@probablyjohnfunk @peepeepoopoop I bet my broker* that by the end of the year someone in crypto would be federally indicted and yay? I won?
Of course, he can’t place bets and retain his trading license, so my win is just nominal but it’s exciting to win a bet with my broker where he doesn’t get to take a commission.
*Yes I still use a broker; I find the transactional speed bump means I think more before I buy or sell.
