@tchambers @web3isgreat And of course the JPEG of Jack's first tweet, which is all that the NFT references, was and remains completely free.

Quite how allegedly intelligent (or at least evidently wealthy) people could get conned into paying for that sort of nonsense remains one of the great mysteries of the past few years.

@RodneyPetersonTalent @losttourist both of which were hyped to an insanely positive degree by @TIME it's worth noting.

Getting positive press coverage from a source like that tends to help fool people. That Time was doing its own NFT grift seems so crazy I had to double check I didn't hallucinated it

Nope they actually did it too
