D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

From the article: “Complexity is weaponized in some of these instances to deflect scrutiny. This is an old trick from the financial industry: Make things more complex. In DeFi, you have financial complexity overlaid with technical complexity, too—so there is, really, just the thinnest subset of people who can do both. And those people will be paid a LOT of money to participate and build these tools. And when the slice of people is so small and they’re so handsomely rewarded, there’s not going to be many savvy watchdogs—there’s less incentive to be a policeman on the beat. It’s much easier to just go work on a project.”

NFTs are proof that if you pour enough glitter over a shite someone will pick it up.

There are NFTs of fart jars out there.

We are both in the darkest timeline and through the looking glass

You have been way to prescient of late to make this statement. Take it back!

If not the darkest, it's at the very least the dumbest timeline.

I'm not kidding. I wish I was.

I follow actual tech and Youtube doesn't know the difference between that and crypto. So I've ended up watching a lot of Crypto Bros taking L's content and... it's wild out there. That's not even the most disgusting stuff I've seen (I will not describe it here).

If my farts aren't on blockchain, then how am I going to monetize them?

One of the things that amuses me about teckbros, anarcho-capitalists, libertarians and other anti regulatory types is that they forget that a lot of this law and regulation was put in place in response to previous catastrophes. It is a kind of social scar tissue, not just something put in to place to amuse lawyers and bureaucrats.

Once I took the deep dive into understanding blockchain technology it astounded me that criminals were using it to do anything at all. Sure the transaction record is "anonymous" in the sense that you don't have to use your real name to use it, but that anonymity is only preserved if you don't do anything stupid to link your account to your true identity. One screw up and anyone can trace everything you bought back to you.

You don't even have to particularly screw up, as Wired's Story (alllllllllllll the content warnings. You can guess the type of people trying to evade detection) - you just need someone with nation-state levels of resources.

Because Bitcoin & Etherium in particular have negligable transaction amounts, it's pretty easy for people to keep up with the transactions being processed. There's no way to launder things when a half dozen socks are the only things in the wash.

“Back in MY day, to monetize farts, you had to deliver ACTUAL farts in ACTUAL jars to your clients!!!” ~old man yelling about clouds

My plan to monetize my farts is to emulate Foul Ole Ron and make farts of such a stunning quality that they will pay me big money to fart somewhere else
