oh.... what a shame, I loved reading the silly little jests from this account.. didn't know it was an NFT farm
@vivi yea, same

Have them blocked now lol
@vivi oh...
@vivi yeah the link to opensea was right there in the bio...
@T0xF03AE yeah that's how I found out after i finally clicked their profile... we were blind to the truth this entire time 
@vivi hey, there's people out there willing to waste $18 on a picture of words made in five seconds, why not make some money if you can?
@grantonthenet sell it on ko-fi or etsy or commiss.io or whatever, something that's not an NFT hole
@vivi then nobody buys it, there's no "oooo look shiny crypto" attached to it that gives it any value to people that would fall for it
@grantonthenet participating in crypto just to dunk on crypto methheads is still participating in crypto
@vivi is there something that's inherently bad about it?
@grantonthenet @vivi the environmental impact the chains have is not insignificant,
@T0xF03AE @vivi Ethereum (the blockchain OpenSea depends on) uses Proof of Stake for its consensus mechanism anymore, it doesn't waste a bunch of energy on doing a crapload of math that goes into the trash.

@grantonthenet @T0xF03AE one argument is the environmental impact but that's been mentioned already. I'd rather approach from a personal morals angle.

I know that it's not great to judge an entire platform/spec/economy on the actions of the people that use it, especially if one uses these tools for a benign or even benevolent purpose. but more than a significant percentage of crypto users are opportunity capitalists that will actively harm others financially in the pursuit of personal profits, e.g. how more than half of new cryptocoins that see any sort of wide public usage are rugpulls and scams, or how people will steal artists' works to mint them as NFTs and leech off their own self-made markets.

If one chooses to conduct business where it's common knowledge that this is the current culture surrounding that area of tech (being anything related to cryptocurrency/NFTs), then I simply have no good words to say about them, in the same way that I wouldn't have anything good to say about a human rights activist that chooses to instance on truth.social

@T0xF03AE @vivi @grantonthenet to put this in perspective, minting a single nft costs about the same energy as the average household uses in two days. multiply all of their unsold nfts by two. that's how much power was used to produce them
@vivi oh.. okay. guess they're blocked now
@vivi wow
people still doing this?
thought those cryptobros stopped once the AI robot apocalypse started and everyone started hopping on that train
