hot take, but NFTs are actually exposing rich people so fucking hard. you can ignore people holding stock portfolios, yeah? you don’t know what people have invested in, and so you look at tony hawk or eric andre and you’re like, “they normally act cool and are chill people.” but NFTs? ah ah, NFTs are fugly and horrid, but every single fucking person with money is jumping on them because they have money to invest, and this is the new thing making money. it’s exposing the real class divide. at the end of the day, even eric andre or tony hawk or any other seemingly chill rich person wants a better stock portfolio over a better future for society. at best they let a broker or investment consultant tell them what’s making money and don’t pay any attention at all to what - exactly - is making them that money.
