The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

      I genuinely hate how dense you are

      Because I’m calling out the cynical grift you’re pulling.

      You’re claiming that the answer to capitalism is more capitalism, this time from a shiny newer casino that is already majority owned and operated and pushed by ruling class capitalists and that will somehow topple capitalism and bring about an unspecified utopia that you’ve been vague about so far but have used techbro language to try to dazzle people with your bullshit.

        “ You’re claiming that the answer to capitalism is more capitalism” I read this in the Christopher walken more cow bell tone and I just thought I should share. I got a fever and the only prescription is more capitalism

          You would genuinely own a portion of a company instead of an IOU.

            also you can invest in companies and genuinly own a portion of them on the regular financial system that’s what capitalism is

              Yeah, and some people do profit from that. That’s the whole point. The problem being that the poor can’t afford to lose that gamble and they lack the connections or insider information to make better informed bets.

              But the crypto peddler said this new casino is different and better because the internet and the future and jargon words and revolutionize the world morshupls

                well that makes no sense if it’s the same amount of money being bet

                  I’m confused. The rich and poor can bet 50k on a company? Surely you see the difference between losing 50k making 50k a year and losing 50k as a multimillionaire.

                    yes but if you can’t afford to loose 50K on the stock market you can’t afford to loose 50K on crypto

                    crypto currency does nothing to deal with the issue of whether or not you can afford to gamble money on it

      Reddit was fucking spammed with NFT “content” in order to slander it

      It was garbage all along. It didn’t need slandering.

      And your clown circus isn’t really improving its image.

          You’re actually seriously pulling the “internet was new once” card.

          That’s fucking cringe, even among cryptocurrency communities at this point.

          Capitalists destroyed the image

          Capitalists so intentionally destroyed the image of a rent-seeking scheme. They didn’t just fuck up by being credulous and gullible by believing people like you and buying in. susie-laugh

            My favorite retort to that one is “They laughed at the Wright brothers, but they also laughed at Bozo the Clown”.

            Or for this example, yeah, the internet was new at one point. The Juicero was also new at one point.

              That’s perfect. I can also say that Theranos was new once.
