    The last time I got a text that was obviously from a scammer I beat them to the punch with “I have a big bitcoin mining project but I need seed money. Are you willing to invest?”

      Tulips. Grow up, sell them, stick em in the dirt. But whatever you do, don’t invest in imaginary tulip futures.

      An nft is more like a receipt. It says you bought it, there’s reference to the item on the receipt, but the item you bought was actually just the floor display and it remains the floor display whether you purchased it or not. You effectively paid for the receipt of buying the floor display, not the floor display itself.

      Idiotic.
