.... I'll now show you the 10 most expensive NFT artworks in the world....
... you will be shocked by this NFT picture...

please fuck off with that NFT shit... thanks

I am not really opposed to hearing about what's going on in the world, including scams like NFTs ---- but jeasus fuck.. there was no need to actually post the contents of the article in this thread and full-sized pics an all of that... .. and yeah.. a bit of "holy shit, this is crazy" might have been a better approach than proclaiming how "beautiful" they might be.. which yeah we know that there are a lot of things in this world that are beautiful - including some of the NFTs.. so it may well be worth a few dollars to throw at some of the beauty and creativity and all of that nonsense.. but considering that whole space in terms of being what it proclaims to be (in part claiming to be scarce and exclusive), but it would be quite the challenge to actually achieve scarceness and exclusivity - absent having some kind of a solid and secure network, and it seems that so far the bitcoin network really is the ONLY network that can presumptively have some kind of claim to scarceness and exclusivity..

....and for sure bitcoin's native digital asset is a pegged starting point for scarceness and exclusivity, yet if we were to get further out.. then it becomes more and more difficult to claim scarceness and exclusivity.. but yeah.. crazy scams out there in the world... and there is some kind of interest in terms of how much value get's pushed around in regards to some of the scams.. and in some of those regards, it can become quite difficult to figure out value - and even to create some wonder in terms of actual real people making a lot of money by spending a lot of time and energies on a variety of aspects of the various kinds of smoke and mirrors, potential rug pulls, and then ties into some of the subjective theory of value in regards to anything is worth what others are willing to pay for it, and some folks have tried to pigeon-hole bitcoin into the same kind of "subjective value" framework, which surely many of us know that bitcoin goes beyond the "subjective value" framework, even though there are "subjective value" elements, even within bitcoin, aka my lil precious.

I've the feeling you said something similar before.. and then we went lower...
have you eventually become a better contra indicator than Cramer? who knows Tongue

So by that, you mean Jim Cramer is correct? That's what I understood from your reply.

as I wrote... it depends on who is the better contra indicator... you or him...

It's weird when any of us have to repeat ourselves... yeah, I remember that you (Gachapin) had already said that.. and sometimes I wonder which of the two are more annoying.. though we do have a somewhat direct relationship with ImThour, unless they might be the same peep. .can you imagine that dweeb Jim Cramer participating in this thread? He might actually say a lot of the same kinds of dumb shit that ImThour has said, historically.. Each of them seem to have their moments of clarity and clairvoyance, but those moments do not seem to have "staying power" hahahahahaha.

Community celebrates Bitcoin Genesis Day by sending BTC to the genesis block
The wallet address now contains around 68.56 BTC, which is worth around $1.1 million at the time of writing.

News link: https://cointelegraph.com/news/community-celebrates-bitcoin-genesis-day-by-sending-btc-to-the-genesis-block

Hopefully adding Bitcoin with somethink new...

Well from my understanding sending BTC to the Genesis block is like burning your BTC - accordingly, by design, coins in the genesis block can never be spent.

The bitcoin genesis block is the ONLY block that had been created in such a "never can be spent" way.

Yeah until the developers decide to take the coins out and use them to reward miners in say 2056

Oh gawd philip.. You come up with some doozies sometimes.

Roll Eyes

Those are stupid-ass shitcoin talking-points, in which they try to suggest various centralized breaking points in bitcoin, and some of those make little to no sense, too... even though we know that people have those kinds of thoughts about various pie in the sky bitcoin weaknesses and attack vectors... yes. they could happen.. but what are the odds, and also why are we talking about it right now as if it even matters when the factual information that we are going to have in front of us in 2056 will be way better to inform us about various trade offs.. but yeah, I know that you, philip, cannot resist your Nostradamus wannabe tendencies.. and even a kind of stupid version of Nostradamus. hahahahahaha .. nohomo.
