A comment on Washed Up.

I'm on Facebook because it's a good way to stay in touch with my 83 yr old mother and other scattered family. I posted the Cryptoland [1] video for a couple of my techie friends on there and made a comment about it.

Ever since I've been flooded with NFT advertisements on Facebook. None of these images are any good, which I can tell because I have no interest in saving them like I do with great art and photographs. They want me to pay $300 for a link to an ugly image that I don't even want to save to my hard drive, much less own a link to it on some random blockchain.

I've seen some weird human behavior in my 27 years on the internet, but this makes me worry about the future of the human race.

Fools and their money have always been easily separated, even before there was money

Nobody seems to know if it's satire or for real. I was convinced it was a joke until the last part where the developers start talking about it like a real thing

Schrodinger's scam... Keeping people guessing makes the pumps and dumps bigger.
