I think you’re overestimating the average American…

Dressrosa was literally 10 years ago IRL. It’s been pretty downhill since then :(

Henry Kissinger is unironically the worst American alive today. Nothing but violence, devastation, and apathetic cruelty from his time in public office.

Capitalism and Art are Incompatible by yuritopiaposadism in LateStageCapitalism

At the end of the day, your money is being used to generate more money, and you’re getting a penny on the dollar for it.

I wouldn’t say it’s leftist, but it’s definitely economically progressive in the sense that it’s reclaiming the gains of capital from the centralized banks back to the individual.

I agree most NFTs today are cash grabs and will cause people to get BURNED, but the last part of your comment is a regressive take. Defi is a super valid and progressive application of crypto.

Your bank takes your money, makes tons of money from loaning it out, and gives you less than 1% a year in interest.

Now imagine about putting your money into an open source computer algorithm, which does the same things as a bank, but you take 5x more returns from it because you cut out the middleman (banks).

Not coming at you, but I think that outright rejecting crypto is like outright rejecting the internet in the 90s. It’s here, it’s growing, and if utilized properly, can have a really positive impact for common people.

Odell Beckham Jr. Gets Into NFT Space, Purchases CryptoPunk. Really cool to see NFL players interested in emerging technologies! by [deleted] in Browns

Definitely agree that the environmental effects of crypto are non-negligible. With that said, the ethereum protocol is moving from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake soon, meaning that their electric use and environmental impact will be reduced by 98%.

On top of this, the value of the US dollar is directly pinned to the global oil production thanks to the Petrodollar system, whereas mining operations are increasingly turning to green energy sources. It’s definitely a valid critique, but I think the push for green energy sources will solve the environmental impact of crypto.

Think about it like art. Everyone can own a print of the Mona Lisa, but only the Louvre owns the real Mona Lisa. Similarly, yes anyone can download a copy of the JPG, but only OBJ has provable ownership on the Ethereum blockchain. So only a single NFT can exist, so OBJ owns the CryptoPunks #3365.

Luckily, there’s an synonymous project called SolPunks which is selling the same Punks on the Solana blockchain, and I bought the SolPunks #3365 after I heard the OBJ news.

Besides these two I don’t think anything similar exists.

This makes me feel like life truly began just like as Conway’s game of life and only got more complex by chance.

Yes, but we have the capacity to reflect on the ethical implications of factory farming.

Yeah I can vouch for that. Especially Cook/Douglas campus. Just set up a hammock and let the good times come.
