Twitter accounts dropping “.eth” from usernames

Yeah, a few months ago when I first noticed it appearing everywhere I looked into buying one, but when I saw the current price of eth + gas fees etc I left an alert on to alert me when fee's were lower. Never got an alert, so never bought/rented one. Happy I didn't.

Same goes with NFTs, the fee's are just crazy. + I don't think the average joe can make any money on it.

Weird, I know a lot of "average joes" who have gone from complete poverty to financial security trading NFTs. I know third worlders who make orders of magnitude higher than minimum wage just grinding discord whitelists and participating in art contests and meme contests for rewards.

How can someone who is in "completely poverty" be trading NFTs? You made up the whole thing, didn't you?

I really hope those "average joes" have cashed out enough real currency that they won't be back to complete poverty should everything crash again.
