It's easy to say with hindsight that NFTs are a stupid scam but it was also easy at the beginning to say that and through the middle too

Around fifteen researchers and critics have annotated @kevinroose's thinly-veiled cryptocurrency advertisement that ran in the @nytimes last Sunday. We try to provide the editorial scrutiny and critical perspectives that the piece so irresponsibly lacked.

ALT A screenshot of the Community meme where Troy enters a chaotic on fire room with pizza - various parts of the room are labeled "Microsoft/Blizzard", "everyone's daily wordle games", "Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al biopic", "that huge emo festival", "ordering covid tests", "crypto.com losing all its money" with "tuesday, january 18th" in the center, noting how wild this day has been on twitter

Look, I understand anyone trying out the "I don't really understand but I don't want to get yelled at, so I'll just call myself neutral" position.

One hugely underrated Norm Macdonald joke is when he pronounces iron "I-ron" and Larry King corrects him and says "That's what makes English the hardest language" and Norm says "You think it's the hardest? To me it's the easiest."

if people on here talk about "discourse" it generally means they have one of those office jobs where 20 years ago you would have been playing solitaire all day. it means "i am not up to much but I am on the computer"

Tell me about it! And no smartphones, either! But it looks increasingly like I may have gotten orbital billionair dickheads right.

A lot of intelligent observers look at cryptocurrency, see that it makes no sense, and reasonably infer that they must be missing something profound on the technical level. Tech culture has a nice tradition of not deriding new ideas, but we need to break it here and speak out

I think it's time for us in the tech world to speak out and make it clear the emperor has no clothes here. Cryptocurrency is sustained by a mix of money laundering, vaporware, fraud, ransomware, gambling, and delusion. It has no social benefit except helping end first dates fast
