Well, yes? ENS is a GoDaddy-like domain provider on blockchain with all the root keys to themselves. At least that has a use-case unlike the NFT JPEGs.

You can explain it right in front of their face and they will not listen since they are driven by the price of a cryptocurrency. So the time that they only listen is when it is too late and they whole market collapses.

But here we are once again, unable to stop it or ban it since everyone still 'loves' talking about blockchain, web3, cryptocurrencies again and again on HN even after it collapses. [0] If you think web3 is useless, maybe you should ignore the hype and watch it crash instead?

I have better things to do than spend my time watching useless things.

You shouldn't have commented here then if you didn't care. I did tell you to ignore the thread, but here we are.

Those 'useless things' have me money as I already sold some at more than $60k months ago and now I watch everyone hodling at $68k whilst shorting it from $59k.

So, yes I am happily watching more money come in as it drops lower.
