If you had a choice of one of these hypes and it meant the other hypes wouldn’t have happened, which one would you pick?

@thomasfuchs I picked Crypto because at least I can use it to donate to private trackers and buy illicit stuff. All NFTs gave us were memes about losing your apes and the most annoying version of Sean Lennon.

@thomasfuchs I hate that I'm saying NTFs, but I'm saying NFTs.

[georgebaily@mastodon.social]

@thomasfuchs nft were an idiot tax pure and simple

[meaningfulbits@mastodon.social]

@thomasfuchs NFT and Cryptocurrencies are a part of the same technology.

@MeaningfulBits sir, this is a shitpost, not scholarly research

@thomasfuchs @MeaningfulBits also, very different "hype" cycles, which is what your shitpost was all about

@DaniES @thomasfuchs
I chose cryptocurrency for the same reason

[user47@vmst.io]

@thomasfuchs @vmstan I chose NFTs because from what I can see, it was a total flop.

[misterarix@akkoma.thesandbox.net]

@thomasfuchs NFT’s because it had the least impact on society outside tech, politically and economically.
