More profit, less news about sexual harassment. Win-win for everyone (except the 99.9% at the company).

A significant portion of Americans still fall for the trickle-down Reaganomics crap hook, line, and sinker.

I’d never get an APS-C from companies like Nikon or Sony. For them, APS-C will always play second fiddle to full frame, so they’d never pull out all the stops for their APS-C line. Fuji doesn’t play in the full frame world, and no one cross shops between an APS-C and a medium format, so they always put in everything they can for the APS-C line.

Make fun of it all you want but I love it!

Amen, although concepts of individualism and "heroes" are so embedded in Western culture, I doubt they would just let main characters die and fade from the grand historical narrative.

Nah I’m not buying any of the NFTs (it’s not just a "web link", anymore than art is "just some paint on a canvas"), but it’s amusing how emotionally invested people like you are over things like cryptos, that any attempt to have a conversation over the topic is "pseudo-intellectual".

But I guess it is a good way for all the people who missed the boat on cryptos to continue to tell themselves they’re smart and they weren’t dumb to have missed out on literally millions. Even if it falls to $0 tomorrow.

Yes, currently NFTs aren’t generally linked to a physical object, but that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case.

Right, the experts. Watch the movie I referenced above and maybe you’ll learn something new about art experts.

What gives art value? Why would a sane person pay for paint in a canvas? It certainly isn’t necessarily technique (e.g. The Fountain), and I suspect art is used just as much for money laundering and "tax strategies".

The comparisons between art and NFTs go a lot deeper than you’d think.

If you take away the douche bag "tech bro" tone, the idea that the picture itself isn’t where the value lies isn’t a farfetched idea. That’s basically most artworks.

Having a piece of work that might qualitatively seem like an undocumented Picasso, or Jackson Pollock, or (insert name of famous artist here) doesn’t mean it’ll sell for tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. You need the provenance and the art world to recognize it.

"Who the $&% Is Jackson Pollock?" is a pretty interesting look at the topic.

It’s not supposed to be where all your holdings are (that should be in a hardware wallet). It’s more like a place to keep a few hundred to spend, like a real wallet.

That said, I don’t trust Brave at all.
